Weigh in Whoopsie!

Whoopsie! I was just nudged by Jayne as I completely forgot to blog my weigh in result this week. It was a "could do better" week as I put back on 1lb taking me back to 11st 2lbs (but still better than where I started so I will try not to be too distraught).

I also feel like it was a bit of a lucky escape quite frankly. Last week was a bit of a challenge where food was concerned. Dave and I had our meal out with friends on Wednesday which was an advance first anniversary treat for us. They took us to a multi cultural all-you-can-eat buffet (sharp intake of breath) called the spice palace or something like that in Solihull. Personally, I think it's rude not to take all-you-can-eat literally at a place like that. They had Indian, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Thai, and puddings by the boatload. It was nice, especially as they had real Indian sweets which I love ... those little syrupy doughnut ones. Ooh making me drool just thinking about it. That said between Monday and Friday (aside from the little excursion to the buffet) I was rather well behaved and stayed well within points to try and make up for the damage.

Until the weekend anyway.

On Saturday we had a lovely surprise visit from sis-in-law who lives in Crawley but happened to be in the local area and decided to deliver our Xmas card. So naturally, we went out for lunch. We went to the Halfpenny Green Vineyards and had a little mooch around their mouth watering farm shop then had lunch in the conservatory tea rooms overlooking the grape vines. Hubby and I shared a ploughman's salad platter for two. It came served on a two foot breadboard containing FOUR different types of local cheese, about half a leg of freshly carved ham, two warm crusty bread rolls each, chutney, pickles, coleslaw and some token leaves and salad. That was followed by a clotted cream scone and washed down with lots of tea. It will come as no surprise that I didn't eat another mouthful all day.

On Sunday it was my dad's birthday and we went out for a meal. I had surf and turf but left most of my chips to limit the damage ... but I did share a bottle of wine with my mom and then I had birthday cake so it was all undone.

This week so far I haven't managed to be that good. It is now Wednesday so I really ought to get back on the wagon. I am writing everything down as of right now. I promise. And I'm going to do a weigh in when I get home to discover exactly how much damage I have done.
