Had a lovely dinner last night at our friends' house. The hostess' sister and her husband were there as well, so it was a nice evening. We didn't get home until nearly 1am.
Dinner: starter was fresh mussels and fresh baguettes, then roast pork and black pudding, gravy, roasted potatoes, lots of veggies, a fruit cake with custard for dessert. I resisted the wine and drank flavoured water I'd brought.....up until about 10pm. Then I had partial glasses of wine which likely totaled 2 full glasses. Not too bad. Oh, and a couple of sips of drambuie.
No gym today. Too tired plus it's a bank holiday so the gym doesn't open until 10. So I'll do Tues, Weds, Friday.
Menu:
- B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk
- L: grilled cheese, grapes, yogurt
- D: chickpea and veg curry & basmati rice, salad
- Tea w/soy milk, coffee w/almond milk, low cal tonic water, herbal teas

Scale down again!
We're invited to dinner at our friends' house - the ones who keep my wine glass filled. However, I'm bringing a bottle of flavoured water with me tonight as well as two bottles of wine for them. But I won't be drinking any wine. Dinner is usually a starter with salad and pate, meat/potato/veggies, sugar free dessert as the husband is diabetic.
Next time I have wine will be at a retirement party the 19th of this month for the lady.
Stepdaughter's family is coming the week before that and I will also try not to have any beer or wine or any of the cookies I will bake.
Then my skinny sister is coming the 26th of the month. She doesn't drink alcohol and of course is not a big junk food eater.
Menu:
- B: porridge/dried fruit/cinnamon/almond milk
- L: hummus/tomato/spinach wrap, grapes, yogurt
- D: dinner at friends
- Tea w/soy milk, coffee w/almond milk, low cal tonic water, herbal teas
Cals: unknown but I'm sure it won't be too high

Still doing serious deep cleaning housework. So far I've avoided reorganizing a closet/cupboard in the living room. It's a disaster! But I will get to it eventually as I can't find anything in it. So except for that, the living/dining room is spotless top to bottom.
