BeckyT's WW Food Diary

BeckyT said:
I'm shattered today as I've only had just over 4 hours sleep, my mind was just thinking about the holiday all the time. We have a timeshare in Lanzarote and when we go we usually go the same weeks of the year so we know lots of people there. John has decided for defo that he isn't going, he wants to take the two weeks off of work and crack on with the extension and kitchen. It will be a building site by then and he has said it would be better if I'm now around (in a nice way) I can see his point but it seems wrong for me to go and for him to stay at home but he keeps reassuring me it's the right thing to do

I have already booked and paid for his flight and there isnt anyone I want to take with me. I refuse to cancel the flight with the airline as I wont get any money back and If I cancel it they will re-sell the seat, why should they make any more money?

After my hours spent trying to get to sleep I have decided I will be quite happy pottering around through the day and sun bathing and meeting up with my MIL and FIL on some days for lunch and alcoholic beverages. Even on a night I will be ok as we always meet for happy hour, then I'll go back to the apartment for dinner and at least 6 out of the 14 nights we will be be going out to our fav restaurants. But, it just feels wrong... I know that if I am at home there will be very little I can do but all the same.

The pluses I can see are, I wont stress about how I look in a bikini, I wont worry about Alfie as he will be with John, I wont drink as much which and I will eat more salads as I wont have to think about making something that John likes to eat so hopefully I wont put on as much weight whilst I'm away. Oh another plus, we have wifi in the apartment so I will be able to chat to you guys everyday!

Anyway, sorry for rambling.... My food for today...

B, 2 poached eggs, 1 x bacon, mushrooms and tinned tomatoes - FREE (or 6pp)

L, Roasted butternut squash and red pepper soup - FREE

D, Mediterranean chicken with Mediterranean veg if I can get to the supermarket. The chicken is from the fish man that goes to our local and it's in a bag so there isnt any NV's on the back. If I was pointing it I would say 6pp, it cant be bad as I was eating it on HL. A bit of a tweak but will say it's FREE

Sorry for rambling x

I've just had to ring up to delay the kitchen from being delivered from the 1st March to the 29th March which is when I would be away as we have been pushed back with the extension due to the weather. I now need to ring the dog carer to cancel Alfie's holiday... I feel v sad :cry:

I know!! He'd love it over there ha ha!

Im not sure whether your are obliged to cancel your ticket if you are not travelling, I dont think you are? People miss their flights all the time and don't travel dont they? I really dont see why the airline should be able to re-sell the seat!!!!! x

I know it feels like your deserting them both to frolic in the sun.

Hope this makes you feel better, you know when you pop to the super market and john has alfie? Well alfie is just as upset and thinks your never coming back. Regardless of whether you go on holiday, go to the corner shop or left for 6 months alfie will still miss you the same amount! Thank gosh dogs dont have any concept of time. So going on holiday is no worse than going to the super market in alfies eyes

Sounds like an amazing holiday!!!! I am a selfish mare but could easily go away for 2 weeks alone!!! X even better if I had company part of the time!! Defo go, let John crack on with the kitchen, you pack lots of books work on getting a tan ( in my mind a tan makes people look healthy, so the extra few pounds are balanced) xx imagine coffee every morning sat in the sun, waking up when you feel like it, all the salad and fruit always taste nicer on holidays!!!! You can go swimming and walking!! Hell I want an alone holiday now!! Xxx

Thanks hun...

A 'friend' who doesn't really know John emailed me and her response was... 'as if he wants to stay at home whilst you go on holiday, if it was me and Darren, Darren would say let's both go on holiday and leave the house until we get back' I didn't even bother responding

just go with your heart. peoples comments can be so rude. rise above it. go on hol have fun xx
 
Sweetheart last year Alex,s friend got married in Bali, they asked us both. I don't really get on with the women he was marrying, and the thought of wearing a swimsuit in front of her was my version of Hell!!!!! Alex was best man so he had to go. I lied and said work refused to give me leave!!!! Alex was not worried about going, he was not upset at leaving me behind, nor should he have been!!!! I had the choice, I choose to stay home!!!! I gave him a massive list of duty free, I packed his case, and kissed him goodbye and hoped to had a great time. Xx I met up with friends, had a bottle of wine more often, read with out interruption, ate when I wanted, did not have to endure sport on the tv, it was great!!!! Not once did any of us feel guilt or worry x we both did what was right for each of us, and at the end of the days it's only 2 bloody weeks!!!!! You have lifetime together, 2 weeks is nothing!!! Xxxx

Aww hope you can get the shorts to fit!

I bought a pair of burgundy chinos about three weeks before I went to Majorca last year and they fit although a little tight. By the time I got there I couldn't get them on lol so they are hung in my wardrobe waiting. :0( x
