Slept in at work last night. Just having a cuppa before a shower then we are walking to the sea to have lunch with the in-laws. Working tomorrow and sleeping in again and then I’m basically off for two weeks! Meeting a friend Wednesday night then going to Birmingham on Saturday ready to see Metallica on Sunday then going down to London on Tuesday to see def Leppard and Metallica x 2 again. So next week is busy.

Btw weighed in at 11:2.6 which seems to be my default these days!

Are you ok with that? I’d love to be at a default of that at the moment - I know it’s only a couple of pounds difference from me, but it’s a mindset thing I think.

I had pitta with dinner last night so saw a slight scale increase. Not sure on lunch today.

You have quite a few concerts coming up! I’m sure you’ll sweat a couple of pounds out there!

Tbf if I cut down on my drinking I might loose a bit more. Would really love to see a 10 on the scales but as long as I don’t add to it I think I’m ok

Meant to say that July should be a bit quieter for me and I will knock off the beer for most of the month and see what happens there

Mid week 11:5:00 - Gah! I feel like I’m not even eating that much in this heat. Had no alcohol or take out at the weekend either!

From mid july my weekends should settle down and I’ll see if I can get some progress made before Christmas!!
