Crazy season begins (and Healthy You Challenge check-in)

Down another 1.5lb this week, to 10 stone 13.5lb. It makes me very happy to be back under 11 stone. It makes me even happier when you consider that not only was this weekend a long one, it was the Boy's birthday, involving drinks at the Best Wine Bar Ever, a Thai feast, a birthday tarte aux framboises (because it's the only kind of cake he really likes) and a fantastic barbecue on Sunday. As before I made sure that I tracked everything, and earned as many activity points as I could to try and counteract the Giant Pile Of Food effect.

Hopefully I can keep this up over the next couple of months. We don't have a free weekend until the beginning of August - I'm trying not to think about that as it makes me want to cry a little: although I love socialising I love me some downtime too... As an example, this weekend we have a wedding on Friday followed by a birthday party on Saturday. Both events involve staying away from home, and I'm feeling a little panicked about getting enough exercise in to balance the inevitable excesses. I suppose this is where running comes into its own! I'm enjoying a night off after a 5K run yesterday, and will aim to run tomorrow night, gym on Thursday, possibly run on Friday morning... but not sure what happens after that. All I can do is try and choose the wisest options available to me!

Have good weeks, everybody.
