started on Mr Beaner (as my Munch calls him)!
Go Team GB, I'm converted and hooked

OMG you're kidding. My daughter is Wanted mad, got both albums and is always singing them. We turned the tele on in the hopes that we would get to see some of the concert but they only showed the torch and cauldron bit. Not a happy bunny she was.
I don't blame you about not wanting to miss anything. We put tv on at 7pm and am still sat here now. Even my ten year old stayed up til just under an hour ago to watch it. She was starting to flag though LOL.
right heading for my bed too.....hope you getting a bit more sleep.

Hello! Feels like it's been ages! Am only popping in quickly to say hi as off to a mini reunion with school friends - some of whom I've not seen since we left school 20 years ago! Eek, how does that happen?! There's just going to be 5 of us which will be lovely - big reunion in September tho, glad I've done Dukan for that!
In other news, had a terrible timr at the opening ceremony, long story but the worst is that it's knocked all my Olympic excitement out of me and I don't seem able to get it back. Not even being at the Olympic park for the swimming yesterday helped. Gutting but will try.my best to.get it back.
And I didn't drink in the end, just want to get to TW too much. Have been Dukan angelic actually, but no control over today's food (a friend is cooking) so just hoping I can make it through.
Meeting someone in 5 mins - off to catch up as much as I can with you all before then! Jx

Aw, thanks for sweet messages. I don't really want to go into what happened but am delighted you all caught the bug. I'm still working on the excitement, it surely must return. I will read your diaries and suck your excitement from them!
Reunion was wonderful, so lovely to see the two I've not seen in 20 years again and we all got on like old times. Time flew! Bit hard at times as I'm the only one still single and childless but I'm used to that by now really and they are so lovely that even when asking about it, they're not smug or anything. We've a full year of 1992 (how??!) reunion in September which will be....interesting!
Food-wise, gosh, I don't even know where I'm at. Not going to bore you all with past diaries but I have honestly been so good, I've surprised myself. Especially with not drinking for the opening ceremony although retrospectively, it would probably have helped matters.
Today was a tricky food day as it was the first time I was eating out not in a restaurant so had no control at all over food choices. Luckily my friend had made a reasonably Dukan friendly menu, although a little high in fat, could have been a lot worse. The most difficult thing was resisting dessert - homemade raspberry ice-cream made with her parents' homegrown organic raspberries. It was also my job to pick the raspberries - usually this would involve one for the bowl, one for my mouth, one for the bowl...etc, but I was really good and just served the bowl. Organic homegrown raspberries!! If tomorrow wasn't weigh in day, I may well have caved! As it was, I dipped my spoon in and had the teeny tiniest of tastes and then popped it back in her freezer saying I was too full but would have it later. It was totally delicious, wish I could have eaten it. But I wish I were at TW more!
Also had to resist these gorgeous dinky millionaire shortbreads one of the girls had brought - that and not drinking, I'm not sure what they all thought.
Then this evening one of the girls stayed over at mine and we went out for dinner. Did a sneaky bit of research first and found a Japanese restaurant about a 15 min walk away that does skewers and other stuff I'd never really heard of, but sounded Dukan friendly. The meal was probably too high in fat and very salty so I suspect I may have sabotaged tomorrow's weigh in, argh. After all the effort of the week, I will be sad if I stay the same or gain, but I will know it was purely down to this meal out as I've been so careful the rest of the time.
Feel really full now, something I've not experienced in weeks. It's really quite unpleasant - why did I always eat until I was too full before Dukan? Weird.
B: 2 muffins, 4 prawns
L: 125g baked salmon (with butter) 5 asparagus spears (with butter), roast veg (in oil), salad (managed to persuade her not to dress it in advance)
D: 2 prawn skewers (v v salty), 3 roasted quail eggs on skewer, 1 mushroom skewer (roasted in oil), miso soup with tofu and seaweed, daikon salad with mayonnaise dressing (tried to avoid it but could see friend was getting suspicious as I didn't have my half of the huge rice cake so felt I had to have a bit)
Exercise: 60 mins walking
WW pro points: 27 (my allowance has gone from 26 to 32 now I'm at goal. Should be staying at 26 until I reach Dukan TW of 8st 6lbs though...
Off to read more diaries now. If I feel like it I might write a bit more about yesterday and Friday later - I have photos from the Olympic Park on Saturday if anyone's interested? We went to see the swimming but had the whole afternoon and evening there. (But still no excitement returned. I want my Olympic mojo back.)
You're all so fabulous for your lovely comments, I will get to replying to those too - am going to get up super early tomorrow, walk to work and then sit down in a cafe on the way to have a coffee with all of you!
