Well… the weekend! Where do I begin?
Friday night we planned to go out and see the band that are playing at my wedding in November. However, brother in law got the dates wrong so we ended up going and seeing another local band (not quite as good!)
Food wise I had roast duck, roast potatoes and mashed carrots and swede with some chicken gravy courtesy of Bisto (I’m a dirty cheat and I know it.) OH actually made dinner and it was yummy.
Friday night had oodles of vodka lime and soda…not quite enough to get drunk though. Which was a shame because I was in the mood for a good drink.
Saturday morning was bacon, Richmond Irish sausages (they are sugar free) tomatoes, mushrooms and scrambled egg (just egg no dairy).
THEN we went into town with the aim of buying a birthday present for a friend. Fortunately we met up with brother in law to be and wife and went straight to the pub. After MANY vodka and diet cokes later I realised the caffeine had got to me and I needed food. So off we plodded to a new Indian which had opened. I had every intention of having a biriani with no sauce – honestly I did! However, I had fish tandori to start and a lamb biriani with a little bit of sauce. Oh, and some mint yoghurt. ALL BAD! Oh yes, and a bottle of merlot. Very bad!!! Oh and a bit of naan bread….think that’s all!
So Sunday came along and I had pretty much the same breakfast as yesterday, toms, mushrooms, eggs, sausages and bacon. Then I was forced to go to Tesco’s to do our shopping for the week. It did work out quite well though…
I found Tesco’s no added sugar custard!!! So had it with the remainder of the no added sugar jelly I had in the fridge for my lunch. Not the most nutritional but very yummy on the day after the night before.
Dinner – steak, chips and mushy peas (soaked by me – not out of a tin!)
I was supposed to be getting up and going to the gym this morning but realised I had a 9am meeting that I needed to do some prep for so didn’t have time to go to the gym (it’s my story and I’m sticking to it.) so I haven’t been weighed in over a week. Feel skinnier though – will have to try and get there in the morning and get on the scales, oh and do some exercise of course!
Today’s food – breakfast was one scrambled egg. Snack was a raspberry jelly pot (no added sugar from rowntrees) lunch was steak chips and peas (leftovers from last night! Oven chips aren’t the best once warmed up in a microwave!) and dinner will be a turkey curry made with pataks madras paste (comes in a jar and has no added sugar!) with basmati rice (no naan or yoghurt or merlot this time!) I might sneak in another packet of salt and vinegar crisps this afternoon too…or some custard later. Or both.
I love this diet!
