TooFatKats diary of desperation ..(and hope)

[toofatkat]

Waking up in a 4 poster bed looking out over my terrace to an amazing view of Sid Valley its wonderful last night when we got back from dinner which was a Chinese and I didn't do too badly I think. There was a beautiful flower arrangement and champagne in our room . so naturally we ate going to be drinking it

Today, so far I'm not sure what we're doing as the weather reports aren't great but I don't care. For dinner though we have a table booked at River Cottage restaurant for our anniversary meal. I can't wait. It's going to be the only meal where I'm eating what I fancy.

Sounds glorious

Oh sounds lush... Enjoy...

Oooooh sounds lovely!....and a meal at River Cottage! I am so jealous!....Have a fantastic time!

 

[toofatkat]

Well I'm home had a great time and now feel very relaxed and chilled probably too chilled. Ah well. At least now I'm home I can eat the way I want too.

I think I feel bad because although I ate my normal calories ( apart from river cottage day) I was eating my meals differently. I normally have a shake for breakfast, a light lunch of soup or similar snd then a bigger meal at night. Whilst away I had a huge breakfast, little or no lunch and a medium to large tea and if felt strange .

Anyway a sneaky peek at the scales says I'm ok even though it was an evening weigh in. I'm going to get weighed in the mornj g and record it as my official Christmas challenge weight. Then I'll weigh again on Sunday so this week will be a short week but that's ok and it will get me back to normal.

So River Cottsge - beautiful good and if you get the chance to go. You've got to try it.

I had - beet root and rosemary soup
Then beet root, tomatoe, roasted pepper, goats curd and roasted hazelnuts and frigola salad
Then for desert I succumbed to lemon posset and shortbread thinking that it would be a similar shot glass size Ive had before but it wasnt. It was a teacup !!

It was yummy and well worth the calories as a one off

Well I've lost 1.4 lbs this week. Although its a short week and only from Wednesday so I'm happy with that.
I've definately noticed weight gain is related to how much pain I'm in with my knee and joints. Not pleasant but understandable I suppose.
Must go for a walk today and see if it will improve

Well done Kat. Did your daughter defer for the year or will she be going to Cardiff shortly?

 

[toofatkat]

They wouldn't defer for 2 years so she decided not to go and to stick with the job for 2 years as its in the NHS and gets their pension which is good for her cv and skills. So she's happy. She's insisting she's going when she's 20 as she wants to be old enough to be more mature and knowledgable but young enough to still enjoy the uni scene. And Apparantly 21 is too old!! lol I wish ....

She's happy that's all I want . I suppose you'll be in the middle of sorting and buying stuff got your daughter to leave.

Sounds like a good plan.

She has most stuff sorted out, just a few pans left to get! Not sure how I feel about it, very excited for her but it will be so strange not having her here.

 

[toofatkat]

It will be different but exciting. Is she your youngest? Can you have a life of your own now?
Mine is all changing . I thought my din was staying and daughter going but now she's staying And my son is applying to the royal navy. Kids!!

No, she's my oldest, still got 3 left to go!

All change at your end then. I hope your son gets a place.

 

[toofatkat]

Thanks. I hope so too. It's a long process but I think it would be good for him.
