It's five day's since my last weigh in and I must confess to not being as saintly as I would have liked. I've had a lot of fun but also a lot of food ... some of which was absolutely delicious. Some, not so delicious.
So, a quick update on my week. I had a sneaky weigh in on Thursday at which point I had not lost a sausage since the official weigh in on Tuesday. Ah well, these things take time. It didn't go on overnight so I can't expect it to disappear over night either (unfortunately). I had full intentions to be very well behaved on Friday night but was invited to tea at my mom and dad's. The prospect of not cooking and more importantly not creating any washing up was a strong one so hubby and I enjoyed chicken pie and mash :P MMmmmmmmm...pie.
On Saturday it was the lovely Vix birthday (Happy Birthday lovely!) and she invited us all out for a curry. I enjoyed every mouthful of my saag aloo and stuffed paratha as much as I enjoyed the lovely girlie gossip of the evening. I also enjoyed the extremely naughty surprise birthday cake! I am unsure of the damage that will have done for weigh in and only time will tell.
Today we had Mom-in-Law over for Sunday lunch. In an attempt to do something ever so slightly more exciting than the traditional Sunday roast we raided the Gordon Ramsey Sunday Lunch book. Hub prepared a spectacularly delicious paella with chicken, chorizo and a selection of fresh seafood. I plucked the recipe for Baked Chocolate Ginger Cheesecake from the book. It looked like Gordon's cheesecake ... it smelled chocolatey and gingery ... it even tasted quite pleasant ... but the texture. OH MY GOD the texture was just SO perculiar!!! Mom-In-Law was kind enough to say that she liked it. However, she also likened it to a kind of chocolate quiche. I don't think quiche-y is a complimentary term for any kind of pudding, frankly. So big tick for Gordon's paella and a big fat cross for the chocolate ginger "quiche" LOL. OOoooh dear me. Never mind. At least hub and I won't be tempted to polish off the leftovers later on ;)
Aerobics again tomorrow and weigh in scheduled for Tuesday.
