Home again

Avoided alcohol on the plane - well done me - had a couple drinks on Saturday - but only a couple and lots of food so I am on 19 AFD's when scores are updated!!

Grr to noisy neighbours and well done those giving up, cutting down and generally managing to avoid the stuff.....(its everywhere)

Well done you!!! I find planes awful places...I get that "holiday" feeling which means I launch myself into alcohol like theres no tomorrow!

Lots of food is fine...esp if party food. I hope there was cheese & pineapple!!!!

A rather posh italian (wood fired log pizza oven) so no cheese and pineapple - just 10 of us out - very lovely

Thats it.....make me jealous. I too had pizza last night but cooked at gas mark 5 and slightly burnt at the edges. All round a good evening lol!!!

As I am not a fan of italian food - the kids eat SOOOOOOOOO much of it - I rolled my eyes when I heard it was an italian - but to be fair it was like the proper food we had in italy when we went on hols - so it was lovely and authentic - one of much chums is italian - so when he picks the restaurant - you know it will be good.

I am utterely useless at making pizza at home - burn everything - not any good at any kind of instant food!!! I think the lack of involvement in it makes me just forget about it. Kids never let me cook anything instant anymore.

Evening all!
Off to bed early tonight - been planting veg all day and I am cream-crackered.
Am pleased to report an AF day for me please. Took Kudzu at midday as that [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] used to be (:D) my starting time at the weekend. Even sitting in the garden this evening admiring my handiwork :rolleyes: and enjoying the last of the sunshine (forecast is for rain and cold for the next few days:mad:) didn't entice me to drink. I even have half a bottle of Chardonnay, open, still sitting in the fridge from Friday!
Sleep well

As an aside how many of you cutting down lot have lost any weight - somehow I imagined that my extra weight might decline a bit with a good few non drinking days - but thus far - no luck.

PS ignore all the posts about italian food above - lol - I normally eat like a pig anyway.

Fay, I am actively trying to lose weight anyway [as in my sig ] but have lost more since cutting down for sure

I find I lose about 7 pounds and then it stops!

Ok I have talked to my stomach - and given it a good telling off. I hopefor better progress this week re wieght loss.

Eating less I guess might help - but I do love food

Am miserable that I am home (odd I know) but haven't thought of even having a glass - so hopefullly thats a good sign.

DD tells me she has an itchy head (sleepover yesterday) oh well - off for a head search. Great stuff.
