JockoT's Journal, 08 October 2016

At least if you're in bed for 8 you'll be up early for the GP. Take care 

Sounds great to me. But I know how you feel with bar snacks. Same here tonight, but the chef knows my preferences. It's our local club and there will be a group or singer to entertainment. Weather in middle England is cold damp and dismal 

Phooka: I'll have to wait until 1:30pm for the highlights on Channel 4, as I don't have Sky. Unless I inadvertently hear the result before hand, in which case I won't bother with the highlights.  

LOL! What can you do, but thank God for your beautiful, crabby companion? Hope your starved evening wasn't too painful 😮 

Sorry, Jocko - I keep forgetting you don't have Sky. It's really annoying they're not all shown on terrestrial TV. Personally I preferred the Suzie Perry, David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan presentation format - the CH4 person (whose name escapes me) just isn't as good as Suzie. Paul Di Resta is excellent with race analysis on Sky but Damon Hill and Martin Brundle are a bit 'grey' if you get my drift 

Will they have a roast option on a Saturday? I ended up in a similar situation last week ... I asked them to give me extra veg instead of roast potatoes (just claimed I didn't like them), and I had a small Yorkshire and gravy. The total calories weren't too, too awful in the end, I stayed within the FatSecret total. 

Had a wonderful lunch, which, with beer, I clocked up about 1800 calories. Mrs T was fine once we got out, so all in all the day looks brighter. I had a 10oz gammon steak with a fried egg and chips, the apple crumble to finish. Add to that 2 pints of Innis & Gunn lager (Edinburgh's finest brewery). 

Sounds lovely, Jocko. I must confess I've succumbed to Aspall's finest this lunchtime and since I decided a couple of butter croissants would be good for brekkie (they were but wtf was I thinking?) I'm already pushing my RDI before I have dinner even! 

umm sounds lovely, not bad choices and the calories not too bad as well. 

Apple crumble mmm ... one of my all time best puds. Lovely custard as well.  

I had a similar lunch with my husband on Friday and put on 2 pounds! I had a veggie burger and chips with bread and butter pudding after. I don't normally eat puddings but I can never resist bread and butter pudding if I see it on the menu! I had a pint of Peroni then a large glass of chardonnay also, so not surprised my weight is up. We'll have to do better next week, Jocko :) 

I am up 3 lbs this morning, though I know it is not a true weight gain. As long as I am 13 something come Friday's weigh in! 

I don't know about you guys, but I feel disheartened when my scale reads higher after I veer off plan. Sometimes, I imagine a future where I can eat what and when I like, but then when the scale does this, it makes me think I have to move toward a WOE I can deal with permanently. For me, it really means I have to work hard to increase my vegetable intake. You know, I really enjoy eating them, they just take more work to prepare, and then they go bad in my fridge if I don't keep at them.  

LadyinDenim - I know exactly how you feel. I could have written all that myself! Dear husband decided he wanted to go for lunch again today and I really overindulged. Planning on getting back on track tomorrow! 

It's a slippery slope, right? I have been secretly off track the past couple days -- didn't log all my food and didn't post my weight gain today. My tomorrow is two days coming! 

Hope you are OK buddy?? You might be busy working. Just wondering Take care  

Thanks, Mrs M. Yes, I am fine. I am working every day this week and next, so I just haven't had time to post. I am still logging my foods though. 

Brilliant. Take care.
