Stuarts update 29 March 2009

First the good news that we are still down 10lbs since the start of the diet and too be honest after the last two days I'm not sure how!!

On Saturday we ended up at our local pub for lunch and I had a pint of Tribute bitter with gammon,egg, vegetables and some new potatoes. (I would have preferred chips with gammon and egg but needs must!)

Sunday was always going to be a dangerous day as we were due to go for a trip to London to see the Model Train Show there. The change of the clocks caught us out a bit so we had to rush to get the train so there was no breakfast and we didn't have time to prepare anything either. I had to make do with picking up a protein bar on the way out of the door. Of course we are then at the mercy of the food that they served up at Alexandra Palace and with different food bars scattered around the hall it is possible to get a low carb salad BUT we only realised that each eating area was different after we had had Pizza. I must say that this was probably the most amount of carbs I had had in one go for a month and whilst the Pizza was OK I was not clamouring for more and turned down the chance to finish off my sons pizza.

For the evening meal we picked up some bits from the train station - chicken breast, cheese etc and had those on the way home so that wasn't too bad. I confess that I did have a couple of beers when I got home and so I was a bit nervous about the results this morning but it was the same as a couple of days ago! I guess all the walking around yesterday must have offset the carbs consumed so overall there was a nil effect.
