That was fun!.
Yesterday went a lot more smoothly than I first thought. My initial terror over going out for lunch didn’t last too long and we decided to go to a nice little cafe rather than a full blown restaurant. I had first thought of having a pasta dish – probably the highest calorie pasta dish I could find, Spaghetti Carbonara. Not because it was calorific but because it is my favourite. I’m not that keen on tomato based sauces but a sucker for anything creamy. Anyway I was very good because instead I had a panini with salad and I enjoyed it no end
After lunch John decided to take me shopping for a few hours. This is quite an achievement because he normally hates shopping especially for clothes! He grimaced as I ran into New Look, Next, Dorothy Perkins and the rest of the girlie shops I could find. I figured he only came with me once or twice a year so I would make the most of it hehe. I managed to find a gorgeous red shirt which has a white belt with it from Next. I tried on a size 18 and a size 16. The 18 was slightly too big and I figured if I lost much more weight it wouldn’t last very long so I opted for the 16. This one, however is slightly gaping at the chest.
I also wanted to find a black belt to wear so my initial thought was to try Evans. I’ve never been able to find a belt to go around me from “thin” shops. In evans I picked up this fabulous black shiny belt, wrapped it around me and it went around nearly twice! I almost fainted! For once none of the belts were small enough to fit me! I tried Dorothy Perkins instead and found two gorgeous black belts that fit!
During my wander around the shops I also picked up two books – “The undomesticated goddess” and “Conversations with the fat girl” and tried on numerous dresses and tops, all of which looked hideous on me! We also had a very nice romantic dinner – Pork loin steak served on a bed of french provencale cous cous with carrots, fine green beans and sauted onions. Mmm.
Today I overslept until 11 – I was so annoyed with myself because it puts me out for the rest of the day. I dragged myself to the gym to do my weights routine and although I found it hard, I enjoyed every minute of it
I must admit fellow sugar addicts… I have been naughty. A smartie cookie managed to find its way into my mouth. But all is not lost – They are only 5 points on weight watchers, so I’ve pointed it into my daily allowance. See what happens when you go shopping hungry teheh.
