Even if you don't feel like doing it...

 Never miss a Monday - this may just become a mantra to as I'm clinging onto this rule today. 

I've been away for the weekend,  our summer 'holiday'  I'm not sure that 2 nights away a couple of hours drive away counts as a holiday but it's all we're having so it is what it is.  

It was a celebration weekend for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and I had been really looking forward to it for months.  When I made my decision to start to make improvements to my health I was obviously aware of this weekend and I had the choice of course to be good,  be somewhere in the middle or say sod it get back on track on Monday. 

Well,  you can probably take a guess at what I did! 

If I was the kind of person to easily decide to 'diet' all weekend I'm not the kind that chooses to blog about it am I?

Fish and chips, and a massive slice of lemon meringue for lunch,    KFC delivered to the villa Friday evening. 

Bakery savoury pastries for lunch on Saturday,   Chinese for the main celebration Saturday night with several glasses of champagne. 

Rounding it all off on Sunday morning with a big full English breakfast before we left Paphos and a Vanilla milkshake from the drive through Mcdonalds on the highway as we stopped on the way home. 

Anyway,  it was a great weekend,   lovely villa, private pool,  AIR CON on 24/7 - amazing! 

If I'd decided to start @FitnFab4Fifty after the weekend it would be harder now,  as it stands now this is just a blog post for me, I can bang that out instead of eating a bad breakfast, by the time I'm done I'll be much more inclined to eat some fruit. 

I'm not going to do a weekly weigh in on here,  primarily as I think my scales are unreliable but I did get on this morning and they were dangerously close to 15 stone,   (my original SW starting weight that I mentioned in my 1st post was 15 st 1.5lb)  

So I got up, took the dog straight out, came back hot, sweaty and exhausted (and it was a short walk sadly)  and sat down to write this,  I've not even stopped for a cup of tea!

But I'm back and today I will try and make a plan to be able to share a better blog update next Monday.

Fit 'n Fab 4 Fifty - an introduction

Hey new blog reader (or future old blog reader digging through the archives) let me introduce myself and attempt to explain what I'm planning to use this blog for.  Firstly, and most importantly I am not 50,  I'm not even *that* close to fifty.    I'll admit I'm on the downward slope of my forties but at time of writing I'm only 46.    It's not often you hear the words 'only 46'  but on a blog where you would be forgiven for thinking I'm much closer to the big 50 I think I can get away with it! I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember,  was 'big boned' at school and spent many years thinking it was just what it was and there was nothing I could do about it.  Fast forward to my late 20s and I joined Slimming World,  I went on to lose just over 4 stone and it totally changed my life and outlook.   For nearly 20 years I'd kinda maintained that weight,   2 babies,  and a fair bit of up and downs on...

My Slimming World Story - The best thing I ever did

This is a post I originally wrote in 2010 on my old blog,  I'm re-sharing here as it's important back story to FitnFab4Fifty  and nice to remind myself that I did it before so I can do it again.  I still say it was the best thing I ever did (other than getting married to my hubby and having our boys - but that's kinda obvious)  and it was.   Although I'm not anywhere close to the weight I got down to,  If I'd have never have done that I think I'd be a very different person now.  It was more than just the weight and how I looked, hard to explain but it did genuinely change my life.  Let me take you back to early 2006..... My Dad said to me one day "Guess what I'm doing tomorrow night? I looked at him blankly, he replied "Going to Slimming World"  Well to say I was surprised is an understatement,  1.My Dad is (and I'm sure he won't mind we saying so, although to be fair he is getting better!) the fussiest pe...
