Hi all
Been away for the weekend (again). You may recall last weekend's disaster approach to going away, well anyway am very pleased to report this weekend went really well, both from a generally being a great weekend perspective and from a food/cd perspective.
I've been to Stratford for 2 nights to go to the theatre. (As you like it and Julius Caesar - both very well recommended, particularly JC with Sam Troughton - Much out of Robin Hood - he was brilliant). To save on endless amounts of prose here's a little list of things that I consider went 'well'
- Drank only water on the car journey (ok, so that did mean 3 stops on a 3 hour journey) - usually we'd pick at sweets and crisps the whole way
- Had a shake when I got there then nothing all pm
- Met the lovely Ruth and drank black tea and water and didn't mind not having a big stonking cake to go with
- Sat with Mr L whilst he had a jacket spud/chicken dinner and only whinged a little bit
- Went to theatre - twice - and had no sweets
- Went to the Dirty Duck - twice - and very nearly automatically ordered my usual large glass of red but remembered and didn't
- didn't go to breakfast in the b&b at all today, and yesterday just had coffee
- Went to a restaurant and sat with Mr L whilst he ate a particularly gorgeous looking pizza; i drank water and coffee and didn't even mind the chocolate pudding he ate.
Yay me!
Sorry, just so pleased I went away and had a really lovely weekend and didn't mind all that much about not eating.
It can be done!! Now if can only shift the Elgin marbles which have taken up residence in my gut, I'll be v happy indeed.
