Can't quite believe that today marks the end of my 7th week of blogging especially as prior to this I haven't written anything that didn't involve drugs or numbers - well I am a pharmacist after all :0)
So yesterday I had to be careful about what I ate because I knew I was going out for dinner. So after a very pleasant lie in I got up at 9:30 (late for me but had to get up then as Tesco delivery was due between 9 & 11) and made my breakfast - wholemeal Crackerbread (love them because you can have six!) with Quark & smoked salmon with two sticks of celery and a black coffee. At this point the sun was shining so I took it all outside with the JC & settled down until I was pestered by a couple of very enthusiastic wasps (probably Jewish ones as they seemed very keen on my smoked salmon!!) - failing miserably to ignore them I came inside - it was also raining by then too.
Tesco delivery arrived just then - well after I had to direct the well-meaning but ever-so-slightly dim driver up our driveway (I'm not joking).
Expected a huge order - loads of drinks, fruit, salad & washing powder - but NO WASHING POWDER (I'm writing in capitals because I was cross & shouting by now!) Now I have a theory about my absent washing powder - I tick the box for substitutions and got a couple but not the washing powder because 'there was no suitable substitution'. Now I use Persil Non-Bio powder, not some obscure organic washing powder, & I don't believe that there was no suitable exchange. I believe that they didn't want to bear the cost of the substitution agreement - anyway time will tell because I have complained and I'm waiting for an answer.
After putting the shopping away (actually Dom helped - aah!) & doing a bit of child chauffeuring (there had to be a reason) I came home and made myself a chicken salad with black olives, roasted tomatoes and artichokes followed by berries and Greek yoghurt (fat free of course). I ate that in the garden (wasps still about but less attentive thankfully) and proof read a document (for which I'm being paid!!), read the paper and generally relaxed.
More chauffeuring & then time to get ready to go out (make up & purple fitted tunic over navy leggings with gladiator sandals - much better look). Met our friends Margaret & Callum in Shepperton for a meal out.
I had asparagus with poached egg (no beurre blanc - shame!) followed by roast cod with a red pepper crust with broccoli and crushed potatoes. No dessert just a mint tea and a glass of white wine (small - I was driving). It was all delicious - I have no idea what was in the pepper crust - although it did just taste of red peppers! & the crushed potatoes had spring onions in and I'm pretty certain some butter but I didn't go berserk and didn't feel deprived.
We had a lovely evening - and they treated us which was lovely.
So, on to today.
Caught up on Eastenders from Thursday (multi-tissue job!) & Friday and then went to the gym (as you can see below) - hard work today but 476 calories were burned so that has to be a good thing :)

Other than some water I didn't have anything before the gym - so was hungry when I came out. Ate the banana & apple I'd taken in the car as well as drinking a bottle of water, two glasses of squash at home & some cold meat but now have a banging headache!
Note to self - must eat/drink before going to gym.
So that's it for now - may check in later but if not enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
