Stupid me! stupid, stupid, stupid me! I forgot to go the the shops last night to get fresh salad stuff, so I’m gonna have to cope today without my salad – not only is that my lunch, it’s also my main source of fruit and veg!
So, what can I do, I’ve got my usual other stuff, nuts, eggs, cherries and apples. I have a pack of oven baked crisps. I can eat more nuts than usual if necessary. Ok, that’s the day sorted. Hopefully! I doubt I’ll be hungry, just lamenting the missing tastes and textures of my salad 😦
Then there’s tonight, and for that matter the weekend!
Tonight we’re going to spend some time with my sister-in-law, there will be pizza and booze! Plan: make up a salad with what’s left in my fridge – half a carrot, half a pepper, red onion, cucumber? yes, maybe. Add olives and raisins. Or, make up some rice and cook and add frozen veggies (and maybe raisins :)) ok, neither of those are a bad plan – delight in one slice of pizza and salad/rice and veg – yes, that’s doable, totally committed to that. As for booze – take pepsi max to mix with vodka/rum – whatever we have, make the alcohol weak and have glasses of water inbetween. Yep, also doable – and totally committed to that! Ok, that’s tonight sorted!
Tomorrow night? Ok, so that’s round at the in-laws – afternoon/night alcohol, card night, nibbles, ok, so same plan for alcohol as tonight – that’s fine. nibbles – will just need to limit myself – have, this very moment, texted mum-in-law to see if she would mind me taking round hummus and veggie crudites (is that crew-dite or crew-de-tees? I’ve never known!) Hopefully she’ll be ok with that, that will relieve the pressure of the nibble situation. Ok, so far, depending on mum-in-law, this is sounding like a plan! again doable and something i’m committed to. Ask for toast only on Sunday morning, no bacon (unless it’s medallions) – not sure how committed I am to that! Take a tub of half spoon sugar for any cups of tea!
Don’t know where Sunday dinner will be, home or in-laws – will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Ok, let’s see how much determination I actually have shall we? wish me luck! 😀
Trying to lose!
