No I'm rubbish at that sort of thing. I would like to tone up a bit before the wedding - mainly for the honeymoon pics! My dress is ridiculously flattering

We're getting married next July. We haven't booked the honeymoon yet but I'm thinking Mexico maybe.

Still cal counting I'm just being lazy and can't be bothered to type it all up on MFP and here! I'm trying to keep to 1500 cals a day which would be easy if I didn't snack. An indulgent weekend at a wedding has put me back up to 10st 1.4lb which is fine. It would be nice to under 10 for our hols on Sunday but that ain't going to happen. Fingers crossed I don't gain whilst we're away! Hope everyone's doing well!

Thanks guys the holiday was great but consisted of drinking everyday with lots of bread and chips (they serve them with every meal!) I managed to stay relatively healthy with breakfast by having peaches and greek yoghurt (I forgot how amazing full fat yoghurt is) and normally a slice of toast with either beans or an egg. Lunch was always a sandwich made up of ingredients poached at breakfast and dinner a meal out. We did zero exercise too as it was a literally a by the pool/beach kind of holiday. It was lovely, very relaxing and great quality time with the OH plus I managed to get through 4 books. I love reading but rarely do anymore. Me and a friend started going to a book club this week so hopefully I'll get through at least one book a month now!
WI this morning and I'm 10st 2.8lbs so I can live with that. It's also TOTM so hopefully I'll get back down to 10st after that and a week or so of SW.

Welcome home
How did you go about the bookclub thing? That sounds so fun... Did you know the people or was it a random one you found on the net? x
My friend found it on twitter and has been wanting to go to one for ages so I went with her. It was quite fun actually and I enjoyed the book so we're going to go to the next one in a month.
We went to Cyprus - it was lovely but I probably wouldn't go back just because it was just a beach and nice hotel not much more really. It looks like you had a lovely holiday and your off again soon aren't you? How's work/life/diet going? You've been quiet lately we miss you!
