The day started with 50g Special K with Berries, 100ml 2% milk and one dry fried egg. Lunch was a little more substantial - we made a new soup today - calories just over 200 - tomato with leek and haricot beans. It was spiced with my favourites - what I call the C spices - cardamom, coriander and cumin. With it, a slice of toasted granary bread, it made a great lunch. Filled me up.
I found I was very sleepy in the afternoon so I had an hour's nap to prepare for the evening out. What would we get to eat I wondered? It was a gala dinner invitation by a company re-launching itself and they had a great surprise for everyone. And what a treat it was!
We were superbly entertained by stunning funny man, illusionist, motivational speaker Wolfgang Riebe. And the man has soul too. He is a true pro and he worked that audience with all the aplomb of the international performer he is. Our gathering was very privileged to have someone of his caliber to entertain us. I laughed so much that I am sure I shall sleep well tonight - and I didn't have one drink, well not alcoholic. My favourite drink of the moment is sparkling water and Angostura Bitters. OK, it has alcohol in it - quite a lot actually - but a few drops doesn't really constitute and alcoholic drink now does it?!! The food was mercifully edible and I did really well. The starter was fish (hake) in some kind of sauce, so I didn't take extra sauce and only had a wee bit of fish. Main course was roast beef with some creamed spinach, mixed vegetables, rice and roast potatoes...so I didn't take any potatoes or rice and had only two slices of beef, a little creamed spinach and the mixed veggies. It was more than enough and I think my stomach has definitely shrunk because I did not need any more than that.
This is way easier than I thought it would be. And I am loving trying out new recipes. I weighed in on Monday (23rd) and have lost 5 kilos since the 5th of May (that is 18 days). AWESOME!!!
Go Girl, Go Go Go!!!
