when she was good she was very very good.....

and when she was bad.....she totally cocked it up!
I am hoping I haven't CIU totally, but it wont be for the want of my demons trying, so I am going for damage limitation and being ultra good, upping the fluids and exercise for the rest of the week! With a bit of luck and prevailing wind I can pull it back by WI on Thursday.

Like many other people, we are making the most of the weather and used the BBQ all weekend....uh-oh. I made a big mixed salad, and did the prep, while Himself.com embraced the whole caveman/fire thang...actually that's a bit unfair, cos he does his fair share of the cooking throughout the year, and not just when we whip out the BBQ!
We went to a local butcher and got the meat there: 'proper' sausages/burgers, chicken and ribs.
Salmon fillets (I put it in a foil parcel with a little garlic, ginger and squeeze of lime) and bread rolls from the local supermarket completed the menu.

I confess I had a sausage - I didn't mean to, it just fell into my mouth y' honour.I have no excuse, I don't usually 'do' sausages, but they smelt sooo perdy, and the taste didn't disappoint either! It was real MEAT! I also had a chicken thigh and a salmon fillet and the salad.
Because I wasn't sure what to point a 'proper' sausage at, I just wrote off the 17 points I had left for the day (inc the rest of the meat/salad), but even with saved points feel sure I will have been well over.
I am beginning to think my bod cant process a lot of meat, because it went through me very quickly :o(
The next day I was much more restrained. I had salmon fillet x2 and a mixed salad (with a hard boiled egg this time) BUT I also had a meringue nest with squirty cream and mandarins (the latter tinned/in juice). The cream was for the rest of the family, and I'd bought myself half fat creme fraiche, but could I find where I had put it, even after turning the fridge upside down? Nope.

The creme fraiche later leapt out of its hiding place and hit me on the head (literally!), but of course, not before I had consumed the squirty cream!!

Back to 'normal' (using that term loosely) today.
Breakfast:
Bran Flakes 30g, 1.5pts, Banana 1.5 pts, splash of semi skimmed milk 0.5pts

Lunch:
Salmon Fillet (left from bbq) 3.5pts, tortilla wrap 2pts, hard boiled egg
1.5pts, salad 0 pts

Dinner:
Stuffed Baked Jacket Potato (lardons, onions LC Light cheese) recipe planner put it at 5.5pts. salad 0pts.

after snacks that leaves me with 7pts saved, which I hope will help my plight come Thursday.

I finally got round to having a go at 'Just Dance', which nearly finished me off, and I had only done two dances - not even the really difficult ones! Must try harder - but not now cos its too bloomin' hot!

I read on someone else's blog that their pedometer plus had reset mid use, I thought that a bit odd, till it happened to me today! I had kept checking to make sure I was on track for BPs, and sure enough it had thrown a wobbly and gone back to the beginning! If I could afford to sulk I would ...after all my thrashing about too...dammit, the earth is still moving!!
gotta love technology eh?
