72.2kgs - gotta get it off

So our lovely Italian trip meant I gained 2.2kgs that I just could not shake. Drinking heavily and feeling very low because of the Zack situation, meant that I just couldn't get things back on track no matter how hard I tried. Roll on the half-term break and a trip to Greece where I didn't have to shop, prepare, cook or serve a meal for 7 days. perfect !
I got to eat salads every day, and steer completely clear of meat. It was only the last day that I had a meat feast. I also tried really hard to say goodbye to carbs - always a tough one. It's been a good reboot. Of course, I didn't hold back on the booze and had a few cocktails every day, but since coming back I haven't had a glass of wine - 4 days already. I intend to have a lovely drink tomorrow night to celebrate my WW weigh-in day, and a launch event in the evening with friends.
I've also gone back to training once a week, and have stopped taking the pain meds for my neck. You gotta pick it up again.

My current favourite YouTube personality is SuzelleDIY - a South African phenomenon. Her most recent DIY session is co-hosted with paleo nutrition guru Prof Tim Noakes. I'm really interested in his ideas on nutrition, that and raw food.
