I raise my metaphorical cricket bat in celebration. Whether it's lots of people having a shufty, or one person dipping in repeatedly (Ali?!!) we are now at 100 views; yay!
It's been an ok week so far, but I have come up against another challenge; and that is when I am genuinely eating out. I went to the movies to watch the last Harry Potter movie (so far?) with my sister, and we decided to have a bite to eat first. I looked at the menu on the door of the restaurant (Papa G's), and picked a lovely and virtuous Caesar Salad. I walked in and said 'table for two please' (holding up two fingers, as I always do, just in case the waiter can't count past one) absolutely sure about what I was ordering. I sat down at the table and picked up the menu. In the time it took me to walk into the restaurant and sit down, the 'Caesar Salad' had become 'Caesar Salad and Chunky Chips'; then by the time the waiter came over to take my order, the aforementioned 'Caesar Salad' had become 'BBQ Chicken Burger'. Oops!
This may be a step too far for me. When I am cooking my own food, eating well is not a problem. But I am not convinced that I am able to order salad from a restaurant menu; not when there are burgers and stuff on there!
The positive thing is that I don't eat out that often, so it is not going to be a regular problem for me to face. So I am going to take a stand on this issue that when I eat out, I am not going to be totally obsessed with eating healthy. Nothing wrong with having it in the back of my mind - and avoiding things which are clearly very bad for you - but it was enjoyable to take pleasure in good company and good food; and may I say a bloody good film to boot!!
At least I had Diet Coke with my meal.......!
