If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

Good Evening Sweeties

So tonight I had a bit of a crisis at the Dinner Buffet!

The Mains were either Sweet n Sour Veg or Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini, I really can't stand S&S (It doesn't sit well with my OCD lol) so I had the Tortellini knowing that it was probably much higher in pp :-( I had it with Mushy Peas, Broccoli and Swede which I made sure covered half the plate again. OMG the Tortellini was amazing but I resisted going back for seconds, I remembered Emma, One Plate and One Plate Only!

The Dessert was Plum Crumble with Custard, I had a bowl of that and then 4 Cheese n Crackers (Oops!) with Grapes and Apple on the side (Trying to be healthy lol).

So alas the 3 Evenings of Dinner Buffet are over

The Good News....

I only had one plate of Mains, no second helpings!
I filled my plate on each evening with half vegetables at least!
I didn't eat anything which was fried.
I only had one main main rather than 'a bit of both' like I would normally have done!
I didn't have any unnecessary bread or condiments.

The Bad News...

I had two puddings every night so in 3 Nights I had 6 Puddings!
My portions were probably bigger than they would be at home as you're self serving!
I ate much more cheese than I would have eaten in 3 days at home!

All in all, I think I did 'ok' I certainly don't feel deprived of anything, anything I wanted I had!

That's enough food talk..all of my pics are on my camera and therefore can't be uploaded but I got one on my iPad so I can show you my new dress (The 6th dress in 3 days!)...

Hopefully the puddings aren't showing too much ;-)

Awwwww thanks Sweetie They were equally nice although I'd say the Plum probably just pipped (no pun intended!) apple at the post, it was more spiced which I like. I think Part 2 will be less action packed and hopefully less food based! Lol! X

Neva had plum crumble. If theres apple on the menu then thats it for me. So part 2 is the relaxed part and a pudding detox.x

Aloha!

Firstly... I have a message for Trina in regards to her sneaky WI

:whoopass:

Next - Serena - you've done brilliantly with your food choices.
You totally deserved this weekend, and so what if you've had 6 puddings, it totally doesn't show in your gorge dress.

I feel bad that I've been your "conscience" this week.
Just call me Jiminy Haha
But ultimately, the choices were yours.
If you'd wanted another plate of food, you'd've gone back and got one.
But you're so determined and such a dedicated (Will)PowerPuff Girl that you choose not to automatically.

I definitely definitely need to book a Butlins holiday soooonnnnn.
Maybe after my Haven holiday (they're self catering - I remember you asking somewhere, but I don't recall answering you haha).
Last time, when we went to Wales, I ignored the fish & chips, the Dominos, the Burger King, all the other takeaways my friends were having, and sat and had my WW Meals haha.
Don't know whether I'll be quite so strict this time round, as hopefully I'll be in the swing of maintaining and perhaps be at my lower limit and can afford a couple of naughtier meals.

Yeah... offering to cook will definitely help with being in control of your food.
Is Poppy's dad a veggie too?
Do you ever cook meat for non-veggies or do you make them eat veggie as well?
My aunt's a vegetarian, but cooks meat for my uncle/cousins and when her parents go round for dinner she cooks it for them too.

Too right Emma, she got a smack on the bum from me ;-) Each and everyone of my Miniminnies were my conscience but ultimately i decided that it was worth limited my mains to one course so I could have two puddings, something I never ever have at home! Can I come to Butlins? Please Please Please! Fingers crossed you can have some naughty meals when you go away, I've definitely enjoyed mine and I'm not even at goal lol! Poppy's Dad is anything but vegetarian, he eats NO fruit or veg lol, just meat meat and more meat! I've never cooked meat, purely out of laziness I guess as I've never learnt how to cook it! X

How cum its always me that gets the whoopass. I must of had like ten now im sure sarahs a sneaky peeker and she doesnt get any. I think u just save it all up for me.x

U get the whoopass, smacked bum and slapped cheek! You wanna roll with the (Will)PowerPuffers then this is what you have to expect ;-) x

Cuz I know how much you enjoy having your ass whooped haha

I bet she does in that Commando bum ;-) x

I love it.x

Told You! X

Love the dress serena get you, you look fab!!!

Thanks Sweetie I know for a fact I would definitely have had a 'bit if both mains' definitely a bread roll definitely seconds lol So I guess it wasn't a bad trip after all ;-) x

Hi De Hi Sweeties

I can't believe that my time at Butlins has nearly come to an end!

We've had the most amazing time, swimming till our fingers and toes turned wrinkly, laughed till our bellies hurt, watched so many shows I can't even remember them all!

Tonight has been the perfect end, after my amazing dinner we went to Centre Stage where we saw Sesame Street Live followed by Stephen Mullhern Show!ive met Stephen a few times before and he's lovely, me and Poppy queued up to meet him, I'm going to view the photo tomorrow and if we both have our eyes open I'm going to buy it as a souvenir

i just drunk Soda Water all night and nothing further to eat, I've proved to myself that I don't need alcohol to have a good time.

Looking forward to the final Buffet Breakfast in the morning!

Lots of Love Sweeties. X

PS-I can't believe it and I might be tempting fate but I just have to say that my health has been so much better whilst I'm away, I guess there's no stresses. plus I've earned 7AP in 3 days, ok it's not as much as home but there's 'swimming' on top of that too. X

 

[everton04]

I hope you dominate that breakie in the morning go for it!
Sounds like you had an absolute ball over the weekend and I'm really glad to hear you are feeling much better in yourself and you left all your stress behind! You odviously needed the break and it came at the right time.
Enjoy your last night and I hope your stay at Poppy's aunties goes just as well as the last few days have xXx

Well I went for Grapefruit, Manadarin and Pineapple with one Egg White and 2 Slices of Emmenthal Cheese. Followed by 4 Grilled Tomatoes, Baked Beans, Tinned Plum Tomatoes and 1 Slice of Bread. Ended with 2 Croissants with Raspberry Jam and Apricot Jam Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Just going to watch Mike The Knight Live and then we are heading off, have checked out and loaded car up.

Went to view the Photos from last night and decided to treat ourselves and buy one (All the other photo calls Ive just taken pics on my camera) and here it is...



A nice souvenir for us to keep

Lots of Love Sweeties. X

Awesome picture.
Good choices for breakfast once again.

Hope you have a safe journey to your next destination
