Fit 'n Fab 4 Fifty

I got on the scales today.   It's not been that long since I did that and the number hadn't gone up much at all but it had gone up.  It's not unexpected of course,   I'm not stupid, as well as my terrible eating habits lately I've had four meals out in a week and hardly a day without drinking.  But I gained a digit,  it has tipped over to the next stone bracket and I am now the same weight as my original SW starting weight.  It's also the same weight, in fact I think one pound heavier than I was when I got on the scales in hospital just before being induced with my eldest son. This means that right now I am the heaviest I have ever been. Shit. I've been up and down a lot over the years but I was so proud of losing 4 stone and then doing pretty well the other times I went back to group. The heaviest I have ever been.   This suddenly feels like a really big mountain to climb.  This must be the line in the sand, the sign that I'm going...

Hi,  its been a while hasn't it.   Turns out that starting a blog didn't immediately give me the motivation to get fit 'n fab,   or even write a few posts, I barely managed a handful of Instagram posts.    But here we are,  I've just had my birthday and so I'm 3 years away from 50.   I have eaten cake today but I have done yoga and a cardio workout so it's at least a baby step forward.  As I've been struggling to get started with the blog I thought I'd dive into the archives of my original blog, where I'd written several Slimming World related posts over the years,  including my 'story'.   The one that I'm going to share today is short, but I wrote it approaching my 40th birthday.    I did go onto to lose a couple of stone and stop smoking between then and now so I do have previous for actually doing what I say I'm going to.   ( I may have put the weight back on, but I haven't smoked for 6 years)...
