The wanderer returns

So I am back from a fabulous 2 weeks in Vegas. Can't say I am overly happy to be back at work today, post holiday blues are most definitely in attendance. I'm also suffering a bit from Jet lag, so I was up from 3am yesterday, which made most of Sunday fairly painful. Thankfully, I slept a bit better last night so I don't feel too hideous today.

I've somehow managed to escape with just a 1lb gain. I was fairly mindful of what I ate and drank the whole time I was away and we walked a hell of a lot - at least 3 miles a day I would say. I also found myself unable to eat a lot most of the time, the portions were either far too big or the heat just made me not really want to eat much. A revelation I can tell you. Thankfully there were scales in the hotel room, so I could weigh myself most days to keep an eye on things. Americans also have a lot more healthy options available (as well as really bad ones too!) - Light beer (as in low calorie) is fairly standard, so I drank that or Gin and Slimline mostly. I tried to employ the basic principles of SW mainly and ate a lot of lean meat and Veg mostly.

The weather was brilliant most of the time (we had rain 3 times, unheard of) so there was a bit of sunbathing action, we saw a couple of shows - Cirque du Soleil and Mr. Matt Goss.... as a former Brosette, this was most exciting.

We went to some amazing restaurants, we shopped, we drank a fair amount, we explored the Strip. All in all, a wonderful holiday.

I look fairly massive in these photo's so it's made me even more determined to crack on with this weight loss business.

So, back to reality. I am joining a Slimming World class on Thursday and exercise is back on the menu. Having walked a lot while we were away, it's made me realise that it definitely helps. I am even considering a few personal training sessions to get me started once I work out my finances.

So, back on the diet today and Wii Zumba tonight. No more messing around.

Right, I'm off to wade through 1000+ emails and catch up with you all. Happy Monday people.
