    Hello all,

    Just settling in down under in the sunshine. :D

    My weight seems to be about the same S when I left. I have managed an hours walk but that was when we woke early one morning due to the jet lag.
    It's just far too hot to run outside during the day.
    Food wise I've managed ok. Just not having the snacks that people put out and sticking to mainly healthy meals.
    I would love to come back to the Uk with a maintain but we will see after all I am on my holidays:j
    The wedding is coming up quickly, this Sunday so have a manicure and pedicure booked Thursday and a spray tan Friday. I know ! But I don't do sitting in the sun, I just burn to a frazzle.
    Hope you are all keeping warm, bye for now

    All was going well until I forgot and ate 3 bourbons:eek::eek::eek:

    Still within the cals though, just, and have done some walking.
    Had homemade leek and potato soup and a toasted ciabatta roll for tea.

    Its sooo ,much harder being good when its cold - I think my body is programmed to eat to keep warm - even when I'm indoors with the heating on:rotfl:
