Biggest loser day 4

thursday 13th August

It was a rest day today. It was also my son's 18th Birthday. Just because it was a rest day it doesn't mean I was lazy and binge ate. I was very good. Ok so I didn't do much because I was spending time with Stephen on his birthday and letting him torture me with his music when I wasn't driving or sitting in a restaurant. But when I went to the supermarket I still parked in the furthest away spot and when I went to JJB's at birstall I ignored the escalator and walked briskly up the stairs.

I was particularly proud of myself in the restauant. I don't like fish. Matt keeps saying he wants to put it on my diet but I don't have to eat it if I really don't like it. I said I will do at least for these 6 weeks. We went to Frankie and Bennies. So many yummy things on the menu. The old me would have said 'well my son only turns 18 once, it's a celebration, it's not every day I come here' but I didn't I looked at the menu and there were no healthy starters so I didn't have one. There were a couple of relatively healthy choices for main course but most I couldn't really be sure what was in them and I thought. Well if I have fish here I know it's cooked right as I'm not sure what I'm doing and my house won't stink of fish.

So I had baked salmon, steamed veg and a jacket potato with no butter. I ignored all the things I really wanted. I knew Stephen wanted desert and wouldn't have any if it was just him so I had the lemon and mango sorbet. I would have prefered the caramel and pecan cheesecake.
