Lots of new tastes

I haven't posted for a few days as I've been busy cybercropping but things are still going well, although my addiction to sweet stuff is alarming, but I think once my TOM is over that'll go again.

On Friday had a me day and went over to Maidstone to visit Lidl. Not a shop I'd ever really thought about much before, but someone mentioned they were selling fitness equipment in their weekly special so thought I'd go and have a nose. I got a rather nice pair of walking trainers, some properly designed walking socks (don't even ask) and a set of weights (need to tone up those bingo wings and the can of custard just isn't cutting it). I also bought a whole load of shopping at a bargain price - getting lots of things I wouldn't normally be able to pick up like mini bratwurst & crayfish. En route back from Maidstone I stopped at Waitrose and finished my shopping - much more expensive, but bought some nice quality items that I wouldn't normally have from somewhere like Asda.

So Friday night I treated myself to a gorgeous pork stroganoff (a recipe by Passley from the forum) with steamed green vegetables followed by a piece of cheesecake (orange & ginger this week). Yesterday I managed to slot in some cooking between LO's and bingo and made limey salmon with a celeriac dauphinoise and a green salad followed by the last of my raspberry mousse. I did succumb to another bit of cheesecake later - but that was about 3am when I was battling to get the last few things done for the CC before I went to bed.

No time to CC today because of work and it will be finished by the time I get home so have time to make some burgers (another Passley recipe) before the closing party tonight.

Still feeling very positive about the diet - now I just have to sort out the exercise. I have made enquiries about a yoga class that takes place just up the road on Thursday evenings. The lady who runs it (Jennifer) said she was sure that I would be able to do yoga as long as my doctor says that I can do it. So I suppose I need to make an appointment to see him now to get the all clear.
