Just a quick catch up because I'm too lazy to get off the settee and turn on my laptop, so I'm blogging from my phone tonight.
Has a fabulous lunch at Fortnums with my friend on Friday - smoked salmon with a creme fraiche dressing & pea shoots, followed by butternut squash with a Parmesan crisp, accompanied by a diet coke & followed by a fresh mint tea. It was all absolutely delicious & a real treat. I resisted the fabulous looking desserts because
A) I'm supposed to be on a diet
&
B) I was truly stuffed :-)
Before lunch I'd had a stroll down Old Bond Street and a mooch around Fortnums - so I did get a bit of exercise too!
Yesterday I had lots of free foods and fluids because we had a birthday party in the evening and I had no idea what the food would be or whether I'd want to have a drink. Although I had a bit of an 'age crisis' before the party - it was a 40th & I started to feel a bit ancient!! - I did scrub up well (sorry no photo so you'll have to take my word for it!) even wearing a short tunic and exposing my legs to the world!!
The food was salads with fried fish - very nice, but not very SW friendly so I tried to stick to the salads with the non-creamy dressings and had small portions. The desserts were chocolatey, creamy, yummy & forbidden :-(
There was some very nice fruit which I had too - have to admit feeling a bit hard done by but I got over it fairly quickly!!
I had one glass of red wine but wasn't really in a drinking mood so topped up with water & diet coke.
We left quite early cos Andrew hurt his neck but we had a really good time & I love a chance to dress up.
Today was a fairly relaxed one - had to take Tobz out to a JLGB competition quite early today & then went straight out to the gym. I had a great workout this morning - burned off another 300+ cals today. It is very strange that this is my consistent level but each circuit feels different - today I was really hot & sweaty but on other days I feel much less 'worked out' if you know what I mean!!
I popped in to see a friend on my way home & I had coffee sitting in her garden - so lovely to do that for the first time this year :-)
Then home for a much needed shower (after all that sweating!!) - I do like you to know I'm clean too!
The rest of the day seems to have slipped by - where does the time go? - in a haze of tidying, washing, 'computering' & cooking (celeriac & leek soup).
I've had a lovely day, quite relaxing. I hope to stay the same at tomorrow's weigh in as I've had a few difficult (impossible some might say!) meals this week. Then next week I'm going to hit the plan with a renewed enthusiasm - really need to get moving now & stop faffing about!!
Love to you all
