~~someday!~~
Hi folks - Warning! this is a long one and contains reference to food!
well after months of planning what i was gonna do for the wedding it is over. Bride and groom are now on their honeymoon and the day went swimmingly - even tho my shoes nearly killed me - i have about 4 blisters! :cry:
so the meal... i was umming and ahhing about what to do with myself - whether to go for it or to leave it alone. i had 2 shakes before the wedding and about 2 litres of water - then came the meal and i ate. AMAZING. nearly 20 weeks with no food and i can tell ya - it was great. i was really worried that i would decide to eat and it would be horrible and i'd regret it but i dont regret it and i was very careful!
the starter was a portion of melon and 2 raspberries - i ate both raspberries and half the melon portion. my god it was good.
main was chicken chasseur, with broccoli, carrots and cabbage, with a little bacon and potato dauphinoise. I had the broccoli, carrots and cabbage (not all of them mind - it seemed a huge plateful, although ordinarily - before LT i'd have easily polished it all off.) I had about a third of the chicken and one of the bits of bacon (about an inch long and half a centimetre wide - VERY salty!) and ignored the potatoes, but when i'd finished i did destroy the little tower they were in to make it look like i'd eaten more! i tried to avoid the sauce as i didnt know what was in it but it kinda got everywhere! i didnt eat the chicken skin which was good really coz thats where most of the sauce had tainted it! the chicken was sooo good.
dessert was a lemon meringue roulade thing - i have never seen such an enormous dessert in my life! it came with a couple of strawberries so i had them and then gave my dessert to my boyfriend's great uncle who was eyeing it up!!
I gave my champagne for the toasts to my boyfriend (best man) for a bit of extra dutch courage and toasted them with fizzy water.
had a great time and carried on into the evening glugging water in an attempt to compensate!!
back on the shakes as of sunday and drank about 5 litres of water to flush out any nastiness. did a ketostix as soon as i got home on sunday morning and it said i was still in ketosis. i did another one this morning to see if i was going to have a delayed reaction but it still says i'm in ketosis so hopefully i wont be hungry and headachey for a few days.
i'm expecting a low loss this week but hopefully not too much harm done. with hindsight i should have probably stayed away from the fruit but never mind! it just looked and smelled so amazing!!
well i'm glad its over and now i can concentrate on getting as much weight off as i can before my self given deadline of 3rd December, when i'll come off TFR.
Thanks for reading! xxx
