Well, I’m back from 2 nights in a hotel for the conference. Early starts and late finishes meant I ate breakfast earlier than usual and ate later than usual in the evening. And breakfast at the hotel was continental rather than my usual cooked breakfast. But it did offer sliced meats and cheeses, boiled eggs, tomatoes and cucumber as well as the usual breads and pastries (I’d checked before I booked).
As the days were longer and meals further apart, I packed some nuts, and I’m glad I did.
Thursday night I bought a salad from Pret A Manger – I seem to do that a lot when I travel – then Friday night I ate out! Unusual for me. I’d checked the local eating places and narrowed it down to two – Carluccios (Italian) that did a nice salad, or a burger place where you could have the burger without the bun, but with a side salad instead. I decided on the burger – it was time to eat and I was both tired and hungry.
I had a burger, with blue cheese. It came with tomato and onion, but I asked for avocado as an extra. The side salad was basically a bowl of leaves! Not worth eating. It was ok. But I’d not go there again. Service not good. They seemed to find it strange I was eating alone😱
So, how did the weight go? On Thursday, the day I travelled, I was 9.1. Today I’m back down to 9 stone 😃So I’m happy.
Now I need to catch up on sleep before I go back to Italy in about 10 days
Should add that my colleagues who hadn’t seen me for a few months were surprised. Lots of questions. Checking I’ve been seeing medical professionals. Asking about the BSD then saying why they can’t do it! One goes to SW.
