A thread to support each other in not falling off the wagon during the holiday, anyone in?

Yes I am in. I think that's where I go wrong every year! I am a teacher so my whole routine is stopped in half term.

I work at a school and half days at the moment due to the pandemic so I exercise in the morning and take my sensible lunch to school but in the half term it’s not so easy to exercise with the kids there, I’m a massive boredom eater and there’s not really much we can do.

I am in as normal because our school is all vulnerable kids. Usually at half term I take my kids out everyday doing stuff and going for lunch in McDonalds etc as a treat so at least that won't be happening. Yes it will be the boredom but I will have them out on lots of walks instead and can maybe cook healthy things with them. It will still be hard though when you are out of routine.

It’ll be a challenge but I really want to stick to it 😁

I've ordered a graze board so going to give myself some of that and also a pancake or two on pancake day and then stick to it rest of the time. Will try and get some more exercise in too.

That’s a good idea! I’m going get on my exercise bike and when I do the week’s shopping only buy snacks the kids like and not me 😂

I’ve lost 2 pounds so I’m determined not to add them back on
