Day 14 of...

Dax Moy's 30 lbs in 30 days Challenge

This is going to be brief - its late.

I've had a great day - managed to eat all three meals with my family and not cook anything special for me:

I left out the bread at breakfast, between us we had scrambled eggs, they had bacon, I had smoked salmon and Philip and Nick tucked into the perculiar English delicacy that is black pudding.

We had guests for lunch - made our own version of Salade Nicoise (no olives, no anchovies), I just avoided the tomatoes and the potatoes. Had no trouble not drinking which was interesting, even when Philip opened the bottle of bubbly. I just felt "I'm not going there". Desert was more of a challenge. I took a gang of kids down to our favourite chocolate shop to buy ice creams - they are amazing and if any chocolate could be ED friendly this would be it. The man is an artist. I'm not going to link to his site because that would just be cruel.

Supper was roast chicken, roast potatoes, again avoided by yours truly., broccoli and griddled asparagus. We must be at the last of the English asparagus - it is silly money again, like it was at the beginning of the season but as we don't eat it the rest of the year I mentally justify it as if we were spreading the cost over the whole year.

I took my daughters to get their ears pierced in the morning and about one hour after breakfast was ravenously hungry - and had no snack with me - managed to hold out for another hour and bought some plain pecans and almonds. It was a lesson, it can be really hard to find the right food on the move.

Today has been one hell of a day on the workout front - we are now doing a rotation of 5 different workouts and it was definitely the three tough ones. I also braved it and upped my weights - so I'm on to 4 kg. That slowed me down a bit but the step up was less hard than I anticipated.

For what was supposed to be a brief post that went on a bit.

Its weigh in day tomorrow - part nervous part excited.

Good night
