Day 184 - back as promised

Hi all I did promise to update you and I do try not to break my promises! Firstly congrats to my friend, TC, who lost 5lbs this week amazing! & Lynn who lost another 2lbs making a total of over six stone in a relatively short space of time - truly inspirational guys ad gals!!M Today has been long - my poor 51 year old body can't cope with day trips to Manchester & I'm very tired tonight. The conference was quite interesting - some decent presentations and a chance to catch up with some old colleagues BUT the food was truly appalling :( I do wonder why a conference for health professionals doesn't give more consideration to the diet of its members! The main courses were all very 'saucy' - I had salmon with lentils in a creamy sauce with some mixed leaves & a couple of carrots & beans (they ran out!!) Dessert was cheesecake - various flavours- nothing ese so I had a cup of coffee & grumbled about the lack of choice to anyone who stood still long enough to listen :0) They'll be sorry they gave me a feedback form! on the way to Manchester I had some fruit and a coffee & on the way home some more and a low cal pasta saad care of M&S - what would I do without them!! When I got home around nine I had leftovers from last night - breast of lamb with cabbage and butternut squash - with a satsuma and two large glasses of squash plus one I'm finishing now. Before I go just want o let you know that the appalling service in WH Smiths saved me tonight - when I got to Euston I discovered my train to Hatch End had been cancelled & I had 25 mins to kill. Decided to mooch the shops and in WH Smiths the demon Twirl Bites jumped off the hooks and into my hand begging me to buy them. Not wanting to upset them I dutifully got in the queue to pay but after ten mins my sugar craving was going and I decided not to bother - yay self control returns! That's all fom me folks (Tobz wants his iPad back) Sleep well - I will Lxx
