Well, June was a lot of fun and full of visits, but it was not a stellar eating month for me, let's put it that way. Not that I regret it, and I am actually impressed by some of my choices. My lowest for the month was 92.3kg (203.5lb), which I hit on the 11th, but it was uphill or steady after that.
First, I had my trip to Greece for my friend's wedding. That wasn't bad at all for me, and I think I might actually have lost some weight (it did help that many of my friends there were on a diet themselves, haha!). Then a good friend was graduating. That in itself is not fattening, but when her Greek mom comes for a visit and throws dinner parties full of yummy but greasy food, well, that's enough for the number on the scales to stop dropping. Add the graduation party where champagne was flowing and trays of canapes and sweets were served, and you get the picture. No regrets there; I don't get to taste such great food every day, and I won't beat myself up for having some of it when I find it. Then I had a trip to Cambridge, where I might have overeaten (and overdrunk), but what do you do when an Indian friend throws a party with home-cooked Indian food? Again, these circumstances don't arise every day.
A day after I got back from Cambridge, my parents came to visit, followed by lots of family from the US and Canada. The whole shenanigans lasted two weeks and my parents only left yesterday, so that was two weeks off plan, trying to make good food choices in the restaurants where we ate pretty much every day. It was much harder to limit my drinking, those people are serious drinkers!
In the aftermath of all this, I weighed 94kg this morning, which might be partly due to my period. July should be more quiet except for a couple of long weekends for a wedding and a conference, and I'm actually looking forward to going back to my daily eating routine. Hopefully I'll see a bigger drop in my weight in July, before I'm off to Greece for three weeks in August.
