    Weigh-in yesterday was 115.5 kg, so down about 2lb.
    I've been trying to keep to my meal plan which has helped, even though I get tempted by various edible treats supplied by my wife at times ....

    Well, back off holiday, and after some time to settle it looks like I am up 2lbs 🥲

    I'm not shocked, but I am annoyed with myself for just eating whatever while I was on holiday. Still, nothing to do but buckle back down and try and lose it again. I don't think I'm going to hit my target though 😔

    @catz4m8z that's an inspiring weight loss and glad to hear you're feeling the benefit! 

    I am feeling more positive this week, and managed to drop 1lb. I did a 20min run yesterday, and I've been out walking more after last week's hermit phase. I definitely feel more energetic hurray! 

    I seriously need to think how I'm going achieve weightloss safely and consistantly next year. I have to find a sustainable way of eating that suits me and my lifestyle. I can do it, I have done it before, and I will get there! 

    Hope everyone has a great festive season, and hope Father Christmas brings you happiness and motivation 🎄
