Bit of a Wobble

Yep that's me today. Having a bit of a wobble.

All was going well until last night when there was a power cut right in the middle of cooking my dinner. The surprise of the lights going out made me drop my ultra sharp filleting knife on my little toe, almost severing it. I'm sure it was a funny sight watching me trying to stop the pain and the blood in the pitch dark whilst simultaneously trying to get the candles lit. Of course there was no sign of the power coming back, so I ended up with a mini pack of ham as it was the only thing available to eat without cooking.

Unfortunately, lack of power meant no ability to make my breakfast and lunch for today so I ended up with a banana for breakfast and a prawn baguette for lunch (along with a caramel shortbread that somehow slipped in). Dinner has been OK with faux shepherd's pie and rocket and parmesan salad, but to be honest I'm feeling slightly off piste with my birthday tomorrow anyway.

A visit to the cinema wouldn't be right without a Ben and Jerry's (and I will be having one) and then we're having a meal in the evening, so not likely to be awfully good there either.

On the bright side my jeans are back to pre-Christmas looseness so what I have been doing has had some effect. I know I'm in it for the long haul - no quick loss diet for me so a few slips here and there are going to be expected. I just need to make sure I get back on track after the birthday chocolates (yep I was bought more chocolate as a present - and lovely Carluccio dark ones - thanks Kev and Sandra) have been eaten.
