Cherrypi - can you put some slices of cucumber/strawberries/oranges/lemons or a few raspberries or mint leaves (or all of them à la Pimms
) into your fizzy water to make it more exotic.
Giving myself a pat on the back: went to a Strictly Cocktail Party last night and only had one small cocktail (in a fine bone china teacup on a saucer
), having chosen the one that sounded the least carby - a French Martini (although it was still very sweet). I nursed it all night and refused top ups and had a glass if water alongside. Couldn't eat very much as most of it was carby, so had a couple of chickeny/cheesy bites (although I think they were coated in some sort of breadcrumb) and a few sticky cocktail sausages (although they were coated in honey) - and a Boot Camp compatible
strawberry dipped in dark chocolate.
I hadn't eaten breakfast and then had been delayed watching ds play rugby and further delayed getting home by a cancelled train (dh and ds had gone off to Murrayfield), so had only had a 15 minute turnaround at home (having already run most of the way up from the subway) to get glammed up. Ended up just chucking all my make up into my handbag, a bottle of bubbly into a bag, along with a slab of tablet (which I'd made last night), together with some presentation bags, so that I could break it into its squares to give to the hostess (and to a Uni friend who I hadn't seen for 30++ years who was also there) and then ran most of the way to the train station (12 running minutes away) train was then 5 minutes late
Realised when I got to Glasgow Central and was waiting for my connection that I hadn't eaten since the night before (when I'd had a "treat" of a bowl of brussel sprouts
) and not had much water, so bought myself a bottle of water, a wee tub of chargrilled chicken and a wee bag of almonds from Boots.
Had 3 slices of salami when I got in at midnight! (And another 4 glasses of water).
Nowhere near enough veg yesterday, but given the constraints of the day, I feel pretty virtuous!
glossing over the single, small piece of tablet I had to check the texture while I was packaging it up 
Will need to have plenty of water today, but I'm hoping I'll still be able to show a loss tomorrow. (STS first thing this morning without a BM
)
