Hellooo LadiesJ
Really looking towards having a glass of wine and catching up on your diaries tonight! But first I need to survive today. Been to the shops and got a card for tomorrow communion and little porcelain angel statue. It is so difficult to find something tasteful and nice!
Holidays has been very good. Had lazy mornings reading books on the balcony, eating pastries! And working on my tan. Later we have been driving to town nearby: Murcia, Aquilas, Marrazon to see what was in there and usually enjoyed tapas and few glasses of wine (me) and coke (OH). Have to say that we didn’t argue over map reading skills to much but few times I had an ice cream just to calm down myself down when OH was driving!
The apartment is too far away to walk to the restaurants and bars so OH had to drive on a night as well which didn’t make him very happy! I only got my license last year and you have to have it for 12 months before you can drive in Spain so it was me who was tasting local winesJ
I have to say than I had some amazing food. Tapas bars in Murcia are tiny, and usually specialise in one or two things, for example ham and cheese or seafood. But managed to have a very bad meal too. Went one night to the resetaurant which English lady recommended to me in a shop, saying she always goes there to celebrate special occasions. We went there and at the beginning was ok, a bit maybe over the top but we thought that it might very good. It wasn’t. Had a fish soup for 11euros which was awful, and than OH ordered regional rice dish with fish for two. OMG!!! When they brought it to the table I has to drink my wine because I was going to PML! On one plate on the middle of the table they put 2 pieces of fish, one of which was a pike (one ring, maybe 50grams) and other was something what looked like a red mullet but only the bottom bit with tail (I estimate it was 150g). All fish was on the bone too which made it to be a very small portion! To go with eat from a big pot they served us brown rice! I know I am greedy but this was very small even by normal person standards! I really fancied a dessert but decided that I cannot face any more disappointments and paid the bill – 100euros and decided I will never go back in there. OH is still laughing at how I looked when they served us this rice which looked like something you get in jail!
I was very motivated, as you know, to not too gain too much. I took my davina dvd and trainers but they didn’t make out from the case! I had a week of full naughtiness! Did some exercise which Fuzzy advised but don’t think it was enough to earn AP to prevent me from gaining!
Back to reality now.
The scale shocked me this morning!, I am even not going to tell you the number. I think I need to work on going down to 10st and try to maintain it in May. Got too much going on to be 100% ww – 3rd communion, 6th college leaving party, 10th , 14th and 23rd bday parties and on 25th going away with kids for a week. I will try to shift what I gained now and be perfect 10st on 31st May when back from kids holidays. And than I can focus on loosing the last stone. Sorry for my little schedule but needed to write it down so I know what I am doing this month.
This is all for now. Hope I didn’t bored you to death! Off to the park now and pick up Poppy from cattery at 6pm. Kids are missing her and me too.
Will catch up later xx
