Grandma
Totally Focused
This weekend we have been up to our caravan in Norfolk, as usual. We went up on Thursday and came back this evening. Its been really beautiful walking by the sea and enjoying the sunshine, although it has been very cold at night.
On Saturday, we went into Sheringham and it came to lunch time. Himself is a diabetic on insulin so has to eat proper meals at regular times. We went into our favourite coffee shop cum restaurant so he could have his jacket potato, baked beans and salad. When the lady took the menu, I ordered a large mineral water and a large black coffee - then explained to her why I wasn't eating. She was more than happy for me to sit there and munch on my CD chocolate orange meal bar while Himself ate his lunch!
In the evening, we dined with friends. They sat down to their roast pork dinner, complete with crackling - my absolute favourite! I was tempted - but didn't give in, and I sat with them having my bowl of oriental chilli soup!
It gets better! Today, my husband wanted to go the Hungry Horse for lunch. 'Ok,' said I, 'Let's do it!' So in we went. I ordered a large glass of sparkling mineral water. He had a very good looking steak dinner while I ate my CD chocolate meal bar! And I was not even tempted!!
I feel very pleased with myself and still have my goal firmly in my sights - although it is a long way in the distance!
So if I don't get a decent weight loss on Tuesday, I shall be SO disappointed - especially as I haven't cheated once in nearly 3 weeks!
