Morning,
Hope you are all feeling refreshed this Monday morning. It's lovely and mild here and feels like it could be a summer evening - much nicer than those chilly cold mornings we had last week! Although the rain is coming back later so best to make the most of it while it lasts.
Well here is a run through of my weekend (warning though... foodwise it's not pretty!)...
Saturday I had a cheese omelette for brekkie, then we wandered round the shops before taking little miss for her haircut, and she was such a good girl, I don't know what I was worried about! So we treated her then to a few hours in the park, lots of swinging and getting covered in sand building sandcastles! But lunch was then chippie chips, with a buttered bap
, one portion for the three of us though so not a huge amount. And tea was syn free spag bol. Followed by an evening watching Grease 2 and munching cheese on toast, as hubby went to a stargazing event in the Brecon Beacons.
Yesterday was Mothers Day of course. I always struggle a bit with mothers day as I lost my mum 8 years ago, but hubby really spoilt me. I was treated to a lie in (amazing as I hadn't slept in later than 5.45am for over a week!!), then brought me breakfast in bed (boiled eggs and white toast with spread) as well as a personalised card from moonpig with loads of photos on it which was lovely. He also gave me a bottle of my fave Chablis which I enjoyed last night.
We went to a local Brewers Fayre for lunch with all his family (6 adults, 2 kids) so I enjoyed a salad bowl and a healthy-ish carvery, avoiding the roast potatoes and the pud. And we spent ages after dinner playing in the indoor soft play and the outside playground too.
Trouble is I was in a picky mood last night then and ate (this is the awful part): a RF cheese and onion sandwich, and crisps, then a peanut butter sandwich!
So for someone who doesn't eat bread I managed to get through a bap, and 8 slices of white bread over the weekend!! Needless to say I won't be eating any bread for the rest of the week if I can.
So this weeks strategy... Again I am playing damage limitation from the weekend. So fruit for brekkie, salads for lunch and planned syn free or low syn dinners with plenty of veg. In fact I may even try success express this week... I'll see if I can with what I've got planned...
I've also got a much quieter week in work so I will make sure I get on here more often, and exercise more!! I'm doing 2 flights of stairs each time I need to in work, plus I'll try and fit in lunchtime walks as well as I failed miserably last week. My only tricky day is Wednesday when I'm in London and will be out of the house from 6am to 8pm. Don't know what I'll do about brekkie but lunch will be a buffet so I will just have to try my best.
Hope you all had good weekends too xx
