Well, what a weekend!
We had a double Christmas celebration , Friday night was my work Chrissie party at a restaurant in Melb. Even tho' the menu was preset and quite varied, not really
Cohen's orientated. The chef did cook my meal as requested tho' which was great but so much of it, grilled chicken and salad, of which I only ate about 1/3, tried to estimate amounts. No dessert, but he was going to make me a fruit salad which I cancelled, no
Cohen's fruit in it,
not too worry.
Saturday morning we flew to Sydney for hubby's company do. Lunch at the hotel was a side salad for me and small piece of hubby's steak and plenty of water of course. Popped into the local supermarket and bought some yoghurt, fruit and CF
diet coke (for the evening). Everything went well, knocked back the nibblies of tandoori chicken, prawns, sushi... stuck to water and
Diet coke. Dinner was catered in a marquee, the usual Christmas fare with ham, turkey, roast beef, potatoes, salads. Stuck to some turkey and was disappointed that the green salad already had dressing on it. As that was all there was that was close for me to eat I tried to be selective of the lettuce etc, nothing dripping with dressing but it was there nevertheless. I decided that not having any veg was probably worse than eating selectively. Again the fruit platter was unsuitable fruits but luckily I took an apple and cut it into small pieces and ate that whils they were tucking into mud cake and tropical fruit and strawberries etc.
I am pleased with the choices I made and even today at the airport, we had lunch while waiting for the flight, I was careful and fussy about what I ate. I wasn't able to weigh anything but I feel that I didn't do too badly. Always left food on the plate, listened to my
body when I felt I was getting full and only deviated with the salad dressing last night.
Tomorrow is weigh and measurement day so here's hoping all will be well. If not, it can't be helped I did the best I could with what was available.
Sorry about the long post but I just wanted to pat myself on the back
.
Cheers to all.
