OOoooh blimey ... I certainly haven't been concentrating much on the old diet for the last couple of weeks and the blog has been sorely neglected. First I spent and entire week in bed with a very evil flu bug and this week I am on annual leave from work. On Monday Evening we ate out for my Mom's birthday and on Tuesday we went to Manchester for two days of serious shopping. I must say, we walked a fair few miles covering the entire Trafford Centre (that took us eight and a half hours!) most of the Arndale Centre and a quick mooch around the Lowry Designer Outlet village near where we were staying in a very nice little apartment at Salford Quays. Needless to say healthy eating wasn't very high on the agenda although I was made a couple of good choices but they were almost immediately cancelled out. I had a jacket potato with cottage cheese for lunch at the Trafford Centre only to be tempted by a cheese scone when we stopped for a cuppa half way round! We went to Frankie and Benny's for tea and I had a burger, which was just delish. Then yesterday I had toast for brekkie, a chicken teriyaki subway for lunch (less than 5% fat) and a HUGE iced pretzel from the arndale centre because it just looked so tasty, then pasta with four cheese sauce and garlic bread for tea when I got home as it was the quickest easiest thing I could possibly cook ... and I was POOPED after all that shopping!
I have hopped on the scales. I think I have had a 2lb gain since the last time I weighed in at Jayne's house. That's not so good. I think the plan of action for me is that I shall have to make a fresh start and pretend like it is day one of the diet and all the other gains and maintains never happened. This mondy I shall have a first weigh in and go from there. It will be easier when I am back at work and also easier if Hubby has been convinced to work on it with me (which I think he has). So, fresh start here we come!
