Just back from 4 days away .... went to see Tom Jones .... another item off my 60th year bucket list !
Had a serious relapse in my normal healthy eating regime and 2 days of completey binging! No idea why but just goes to show how easy it is to slip back into old ways!
Eaten healthy today, and I'm grateful i can stop myself letting those old habits take over again.
Must be the shock of the scales being 11lb up!! How is that even possible? Carb water weight i hope!! Let's hope it comes off as fast as it went on!3 -

Water weight after a few days of binge eating I am sure. I think getting back into a routine of eating properly is hard after vacation.Played singles Pickleball for the first time tonight. So much fun and wow am I exhausted. Played for an hour and 45 minutes
Are you going to try it again? A lot of my friends play and they love it.

Log food: ✔️
Exercise: 3/4
My plan was to go to the pool first thing this morning. I didn’t sleep well so I couldn’t get up. I am going for my injections soon so I will see how tired I am when I get home.
My August badge on my Apple Watch is to go at least 2.9km a day 14 times. That works out to be around 4K steps. I am determined to get this badge.

A spectacular 9lb gain! Just goes to prove how easy it is to slip into bad ways. I've lost 60lb before and regained it all in 2 years. It's not going to be like that this time! That weight is coming right back off!4 -
