Argh, so close to a STS!!! 0.1kg gain this month! So, I've still got 1.5kg of body fat to lose (ideally a little more). Nothing has worked so far this year but all I can do is keep trying.

Off on my hols soon, I have an active holiday planned so perhaps a change in eating routines and doing some different types of exercise will shake things up a bit .

Just back from holiday in Ireland with not TOOOOO much weight gain. 75.6 kg this morning. Back to logging the food and keeping to calories - I want to get back into the 74s and then progress.

Actually I found the food in Ireland was very healthy. A lot of fresh fish, and I mean fresh, as in: caught the same morning. A lot of the places we stopped for a snack had home-made veg soup and home-made brown bread, what they call brown bread, I think it's Irish soda bread, made without yeast but with bicarb of soda. I want to try making some if only I can get the right ingredients. We also had a lot of fresh fruit. I easily resisted the 'full Irish' breakfast because I simply could not have eaten that much! The only thing different from our 'full English' is white pudding as well as black pudding, and all the ingredients are Irish.

We crossed by overnight ferry and landed in Swansea yesterday morning. Didn't bother with a very early breakfast on the ship, but stopped at the first services we came to on the M4 in Wales and I was so hungry, I had 2 hash browns, some grilled tomato, 2 slices of bacon and a fried egg. Food never tastes so good as when you're very hungry and you appreciate it!!

There seem to be fewer overweight/obese people in Ireland, at least in the parts we visited based on Killarney. Maybe it's the absence of fast-food outlets. A lot of people were cycling, jogging or doing a fast kind of walking, swinging arms and really striding out.

Busy with washing and shopping today, then back to the gym on Monday. Now that swimming lessons are over until next term, I intend to book some private sessions and really crack this fear of water.

Always fancied doing to Dublin. If i think of Ireland i think bombs, religious people and a heavily populated island of !!!!!!. Im sure its not all like that though!! I will have to add it to my next to list. I wonder if i can fly on a day trip or something? Oh another thing i think of is that irish women are always good looking! The ones ive met are anyway.

Ive been eating like rubbish today, its just a joke now. I need to gym it too, joined and i havent been for a month i think

Have a good holiday missy! Hope you find a way to shift that tiddy bit which you probably dont need to lose anyway!

The whole island is not 'heavily-populated' with anybody, in fact, that was our first impression. There are miles and miles of gorgeous mountain, lake and sea-shore scenery and miles of country roads with empty houses. In comparison with England they are very much under-populated!

It's possible to fly on a day-trip by Ryanair to Dublin, but Dublin isn't the whole of Ireland. And religious people? Not many that we noticed, although a week ago we went to the Methodist Church in Killarney. Nor bombs. They haven't had the like of 7/7 - yet.

As to being good-looking, a lot fewer overweight/obese people, maybe due to the absence of fast-food outlets. I did think that Irish people have a very erect and graceful carriage, in general, which may be due to the fact that they all do Irish dancing from a young age, even if they don't continue it into adulthood. See what I mean if you watch 'Riverdance', they're all very erect and hold themselves well.
