Disappointing ... or not?

I was a little disappointed with my weigh in yesterday ... rather than creeping into the tens as planned I actually had a half pound gain. Now, this is actually quite remarkable when I think about what I shoveled down my neck this weekend.

We went out for a meal on friday night with some friends to a pub with no healthy options. Not only that they "accidentally" charged us twice for the three desserts that had been ordered (I didn't have one) and added four shots of amaretto to the bill for good measure. Needless to say we wont be eating overpriced and fairly averagely cooked food at The Bassa Villa Bar & Grill in Bridgenorth again.

Saturday was graduation day ... It was great fun! I got to meet a lovely person who I had studied with yet never met face to face before, spent the day with my favourite people in all the world (Hubby, Mom, Dad, Mom-In-Law, Bro and BG), and had a few drinks and some lovely food. We had a coffee and a danish after arriving at the symphony hall and I'd got robed up. Then we had a little wander over by the canal at Brindley Place and had a glass of wine while nibbling on some pretty damn yummy tapas at All Bar One. After that I went and did the shaking hands thing at the ceremony which was coolness. Then I de-robed and we walked down the canal to the mailbox, had a quick spritzer in the rather poncy Bar Room Bar before moving onto Zizzi's for dinner which was scrummy! I had Insalate Tricolore (tomato, mozzerella and avacado salad) and Penne Pollo Picante (spicy chicken pasta with creme fraiche) washed down with a few glasses of white wine and two G&Ts when we got back to my folks.

So ... after all that I suppose its not surprising I had a gain BUT it was only a gain of half a lb. I'm back to 11st 1lb AGAIN and so I need to lose more than 1lb if I am to succeed in my Flaming June challenge to get into the tens. It's definitely do-able. I have a weekend that should be kind to me points-wise as long as I don't drink my points away and once I am over this bloomin head cold that I have caught off Hubby I should be able to fin in some exercise thursday (walk) and friday saturday sunday (wii fit) to get myself into the next stone bracket for the last meeting in June.
