Enjoying life.

 Monday 2nd December 2024

Well I survived the week and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, I tracked 5 out of the 7 days, but the two days I didn't I wasn't overeating and going mad, I still ate sensibly.  We ate out Friday night, had curry, I tracked that and was sensible. Saturday was Aryn's birthday and we went to Miller & Carter where again I enjoyed a starter and main but didn't eat all my main as I was full.  I have to say the starter was divine, Burrata - velvety burrata cheese, balsamic roasted beetroot, lovage pesto (523cals) it really was so good, I'd eat that regularly as a meal if it was a little lower in calories!

I'm now craving 'proper' chicken tikka masala as the one I ordered on Friday wasn't like the ones we used to get when we went for an Indian on a Friday night, I'll have to treat myself from Masala Lounge at some point because the Lancaster's just isn't the same!

Yesterday I made slow cooker beef chilli con carne, the lads loved it but it's not a meal I enjoy so I didn't have a very big portion.

It was Aryn's birthday Saturday we were supposed to go Karting but they cancelled it once we'd got there because of condensation, so he missed out there, although he didn't seem to mind too much at least we had a lovely meal.  

I've been up since 2am to drive him part way to work, he was meeting someone to take him the rest of the way as he's picking his car up Friday to come home, at least the motorway was very quiet.

I'm going to do the domestic goddess routine today, there's piles of washing to be ironed and/or folded, everywhere needs cleaning and tidying and I have some errands to run too, so a busy day before my work week starts tomorrow!   I will be cooking a roast pork dinner though as I missed a Sunday roast yesterday and Aryn can have pork sandwiches for school too tomorrow then. 

I need lots of veggies as I've been taking painkillers and without too much detail, they bung you up and that's not my norm so I need to counteract that issue!

I was going to go swimming today but it's forecast dry so I'd rather do something outdoors and go swimming Wednesday when it's going to rain.  

But before any of that, I'm catching up on I'm a celeb as it's only 6am!

Here's to surviving another week, 

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
