Another failed weekend

Hmmm this getting back on track lark is harder than I thought. Probably would have been OK if I hadn't spent all weekend getting completely slaughtered. I hadn't meant to, originally it was going to be a couple of glasses of wine down the pub on Friday night, but those couple of glasses turned into a few glasses, swiftly followed by a bottle of rather nice sparkling pinot grigio blush at home. Obviously I had a major hangover on Saturday and therefore when Andrea and Lynne turned up at the pub for a quick drink or two I ended up on wine again as a hair of the dog. Unfortunately, it appeared that I was completely incapable of leaving the pub and ended up staying there till closing time, having switched to JD & ginger ale at some point during the evening. Cue hangover no 2, although not as bad as the previous one.

Of course, apart from the colossal amount of alcohol I imbibed this also affected my eating patterns, as I couldn't cook while I had a hangover resorting instead to having a naughty bacon sandwich. And staying in the pub all night meant that I didn't get anything else to eat all day - not helping my inebriation level or my diet.

So once again this morning I am starting again - egg mayo, crispy bacon & tomato for breakfast, faux shepherd's pie for lunch. What dinner will be I am not yet sure.

One thing I have learned from this weekend is that I definitely shouldn't drink a protein shake when I have a hangover. It makes me feel considerably worse!
