The results are in....

Drumroll please....



+2.5lb!

I am absolutely gobsmacked!  I was sure it would be at least 4lb, and realistically way more!  The only thing I can put it down to is jet lag causing me to start my period early, but even that only normally makes about 0.5lb difference.

So, happy me! (Husband isn't happy, he says it's sheer luck!)

That said, we went out for dinner last night for his birthday, I wasn't good at all.  But I've been food shopping today, and £95 later we are re-stocked with fresh and healthy goodness!

The past month...

Ok, so I've been absent for a month but for two very good reasons:

"Week of Death" at work
I'm a Marketing Officer at at University, specialising in undergraduate recruitment events (getting 16/17 year olds to apply to our uni!).  My main fous of the year is Open Days, and at the end of June we had two!  Without boring you with the detail, it's a mental week leading up to them, long hours and erratic eating.  I may or may not have managed three different takeaways in three nights!  whoopsie.  I put on 1lb, but was expecting (and deserved!) more.    But, the events went really well so all in all a successful week.

Honeymoon! 
Although we married back in October 2010, we've only just been on honeymoon!  Our holiday of choice was an epic 13 day tour of California.  It was amazing, relaxing (despite driving 1500 miles!), incredible, hot, funny, fantastic... I could go on!  The diet went out of the window for this holiday of a lifetime, and I ate waaay to many chips!  There were the odd occasions where I could dust of the halo, such as ordering a salad and baked potato from Wendys (when husband devoured a huge burger and fries!) 

I told my slimming world group that I was on holiday today too, as I wasn't sure when we would come back from my parents (flew to the USA from an airport near them), but I'm going to pop along to get weighed tonight, if I don't, my mind will be on holiday mode for another week!

The only holiday hurdle left is tonight, it's husband's birthday!  We're going out for dinner, ot sure where yet but I'm going to try and be good and make some sensible choices. wish me luck!
