So this week I'm starting with a little anecdote. On the train to Edinburgh, to meet hubby, sister and bro-in-law, the trolley man offered me biscuits or Love Corn. Love Corn? Trolley man recommended these - sweet corn kernels that are roasted and become hollow and crunchy. They are salted, a bit like nuts. And they were indeed delicious. So when trolley man returned I asked if he had more Love Nuts! The other passengers laughed, I blushed, and trolley man said I'd made his day. He thought my faux pas was hilarious!!
Please please please can someone tell me they do this too? I know my family think I'm crazy. So we were buying sarnies for the train journey home, in the meal deal section. Chicken salad sandwich, lovely. But then I noticed they did triple sandwich packs also in the meal deal! Bargain. There was one chicken salad - yum, one prawn - yeah prawns are ok, and a BLT - not that keen on bacon especially cold bacon. But I bought it anyway because it was better value. Instead of paying the same price for the two chicken salads I would have really enjoyed. Am I actually crazy? Someone must do this too?!
Also this week I went to Aberdeen's Art Gallery with my daughter. It was open one evening for an event - live music, DJs, games & activities, silent disco and a bar (see cocktail in pic). It was weird and interesting and a bit different. We did some origami, played a gallery pictures find the pair & Guess Who and looked at the great art too. Very grown up!
So technically I haven't actually started my eating plan/diet. My excuses this week? Weekend in Edinburgh, husbands birthday - lunch out and birthday cake etc. But I am very excited to get stuck in and to begin the weight loss process. This is a big improvement anyway. Don't worry, I'm getting there, slowly lol.
Life is a soup and I'm a fork.
