My eating had been pretty good last week...
...well apart from eating a naan bread with my dinner one night in the week.
Then yesterday happened and I had the urge to pig out and ended up eating a fifth of a 300 gram tub of rosemary & thyme infused nuts (a mixture of pecans, macadamias and cashews), they were really nice. I put them back in the kitchen to stop me finishing the lot (I probably would have too). And as if that wasnt bad enough I had five pieces of a toffee crunch chocolate orange that I have hidden away for such occassions.
Yes I'm a bit like a hamster having food hidden away, or should that be like a squirrel?
Walking past Starbucks on Friday night I saw on their advertising A board outside that their Christmas drinks come out on Wednesday (5th November). One of their new drinks is a dark cherry chocolate mocha, it sounds really nice and cant wait to try one. I think I will have to have a wander down there Wednesday morning ;o).
So I hear you ask yourself...
...so what did this do to your weight? Well, I put on two pounds. I'm not hopeful about being too good this week either as I am out on Friday night for my mates 39th birthday (that makes me feel really old having a mate whose nearly 40!).
I think I'll have to be in damage limitation mode this week ;o).
Blimey, I just rememebered I also had a quarter of a creme brulee bread & butter pudding last night, I could have finished that too... ;o), and I will be having another quarter of it tonight. I think I will let James have the rest of it to have with his cereal (see he doesnt just get the stuff I dont like ;o)).
Talking of James, hes been moaning about my lack of punctuation (yes I know there should be a comma here) I personally think its overrated and one day I will do a post with no punctuation in protest ;o).
I havent bought anything new to cook this week, but did get the juicer back out and did some grape, apple and plum juice.
Ive been trying to buy different types of potatoes each week to have with my dinner...
...yesterday I bought some Red Duke of York ones. In Sainsburys today I saw that they are doing Pink Fir Apple ones so I will have to try and remember to get them next week.

Chocolate goodness
In the last week I havent been too bad eating wise...
...well apart from meeting my friends for lunch in London.
We went to Pontis at Liverpool Street Station (as that is near to where my friends work and it is the station that my train comes in to).
Trying to be good after my holiday induced massive weight gain I had scrambled eggs on toast this is part of their all day breakfast range, it was really nice.
As I normally do when I go into London I got myself a Krispy Kreme donut - I went for the biscuit crunch donut (a ring donut smothered in chocolate and topped with biscuit crumbs) this forms part of their new carnival range. The donut was ok but not as nice as their New York Cheesecake donut - mind you I dont think anything will be as yummy as that ;o)).
Considering I had the scrambled eggs on toast and the donut I was well pleased when I weighed myself this morning and that I have lost one pound ;o).
My latest chocolate tasting box arrived this week...
...I get their basic classic collection every three months (you can choose how often you get your chocolates and when you want your next box to arrive).
So far I've had the Maple Manon which was really nice and you could really taste the maple in it. I've also had the Jelly and Ice Cream too that was ok but not as nice as the Maple one.
There are none in the latest box that I will get James to eat...
Sometimes there are ones in there like yukkie coconut ones that I dont like :o(
I have also pre-ordered my Christmas box too.
I havent bought anything different to do this week to eat as I am back to trying to be good...

Flippin heck...
Well were back from our holiday now...
Had a great time in Seattle and have eaten loads of nice stuff, the highlight definitely being afternoon tea at The Fairmont Empress in Victoria BC and very nice it was too ;o) It was really ironic that you travel thousands of miles on holiday and you get served jam that has been made 15 miles from where you live ;o).
So what other yummies did I have...
...I had a pre holiday curry, if I remember correctly it was a Chicken Kashmiri, Bombay Potato, Pilau Rice and an Onion Bhaji, that was lovely too (I didnt dare weigh myself before I went after that ;o)). The Chicken Kashmiri was nice but I dont think I would get it again.
Breakfastwise I adopted the "When in Rome" strategy and ate loads of pancakes and maple syrup which HAVE to come with sausages or bacon and it was the law that I HAD to eat them - so I DID ;o).
I tried to be fairly good lunchwise and only had one corndog, but by day four found a decent food court in The Columbia Center, there were around 10 different places to get something to eat and I locked my sight on City Soups and for the remaining four weekdays made sure we were near there so I could have a cup of Chilli with rice and very yummy it was too. James was more than happy with this, as there were several eat by the pound stands there too.
I think he may even have subliminaly put the thought into my head - I wondered what that tape was about that he insisted on putting on every night, I awoke one night to hear his voice saying "chilli at city soups is really good - all you need for lunch is chilli, in fact nothing else will satisfy your lunchtime hunger" ;o).
The only other lunch I had was a chicken curry pancake followed by a banana bread pancake from the foodhall in the Westlake Center they werent too bad but difficult to eat.
Dinnerwise was where I went completely mental...
Day one just hours after arriving we found a nice Chinese Restaurant P F Changs I tried to be fairly good by having steamed brown rice with my almond & cashew chicken. We couldnt believe the portion sizes...
...when we did our mass ordering we thought the sizes would be similar to at home, and ended up with james bringing back to our hotel a doggy bag, we werent the only people bring food out with us ;o), my dessert was their Banana Spring Rolls (and yes they do taste as nice as they sound ;o)).
Day two we decided to eat near our hotel, but because we were there "out of season" lots of the restaurants were shut in the evenings, so we went to the The Crab Pot I had Chicken Tenders & chips (they were ok), I dont like fish and that was one of their few non fish dishes, I didnt have any dessert.
Day three was our afternoon tea in Canada, and as our boat didnt get back to Seattle til late, the trip was two and a half hours each way and there being few provisions on the boat I ended up having a peanut butter cookie for my breakfast! we decided to eat near our hotel so we ate at Anthonys Diner and I had the Snake River Farms Kobe Beef Burger it was nice although I had to send it back because it came with relish (and being the fussy madam that I am, I dont like any kind of sauce), and for the naughty dessert I had Baileys Irish Cream Mousse that was nice too...
Day four was back to P F Changs this time I had Ginger Chicken with Broccoli again with the steamed brown rice luckily we learnt our lesseons from the time before and only ordered what we could eat, and yes again I had the Banana Spring Rolls and I also had one of their mini desserts (they call it mini because it is served in a shotglass ;o)) the Smores dessert sounded good so I went for that, again it was very nice ;o) - Well it really couldnt be anything else...
Day five we decided to splash out and go posh and went to a fine dining place Capital Grille, I had Kona Crusted Dry Aged Sirloin with Caramelized Shallot Butter, the place was so classy you had to order your sides seperately (this was no chips with everything kind of place ;o)). In my attempt to be healthy I went for the vegetable medley and got Brussels Sprouts (and its not even Christmas!). We even told our waiter how at home nobody likes sprouts and people are forced to eat them at Christmas and feeling sorry for us he just smiled. For dessert I had their Classic Creme Brulee - again really nice.
Day six we slummed it by going to Johnny Rockets in Pacific Place I had hot dog and fries but no dessert.
Day Seven we went to Daily Grill it was nice there but not quite as posh as Capital Grille but a bit more upmarket than a diner, I had Blackberry Pork Chop and for dessert I had their Cobbler of the Day which was Peach Strawberry it was absolutely massive and was by far one of the nicest desserts I had and even equal to the Banana Spring Rolls.
Day eight we went back to Daily Grill (I tell you the dessert was THAT good) this time I went for Charbroiled Rib Eye Steak and again had their Cobbler of the Day which this time was Apple Blueberry again really nice but I think I preferred the peach strawberry one.
Day nine was grotty airline food :o( We were served chicken in gravy with mashed potato (which I didnt eat) and carrots and green beans (which I didnt eat either). The dessert was a little piece of cheesecake oh and we got a funsize crunchie bar too. It all looked a horrible mess :o(
Other yummies eaten were cheesecake from a branch of The Cheesecake Factory the one I went for was the Caramel Pecan Turtle again very nice. And also a cheesecake from Confectional Cheesecakes I went for Mexican Chocolate which had cayenne pepper on it to give it a kick.
It amazes me how the UK and USA are two countries seperated by one language for instance I wanted to go to the toilet in Pacific Place, I found the restrooms and saw a teenage girl waiting...
...thinking that she was probably waiting for one of her friends (like you do) I asked her if she was waiting for the loo? She looked at me blankly I then said "oh sorry, are you waiting for the toilet" and she said "no, I'm not waiting in line".
Good job I'm not from oop North I cant think of what she would have made of "Are you't waiting for't Lavvy? ;o)
As I said to James the other day "why are they called restrooms? I dont want a rest, I want a plop" ;o).
Al in my jetlagged state last Thursday I finally tried the Pickled Onion Monster Munch and they werent too bad either, but I still prefer the Roast Beef ones and the Flaming Hot ones, sorry...
After all that food I was umming and ahhing about whether to weigh myself on Sunday, and stupidly decided to...
...so you are wondering how I did?...
Well I put on eight pounds, more than I was hoping for but am not disheartened ;o)

Theres something different about you...
In honour of Al I have bought a 12 pack of Monster Munch (whch includes my most favouritist flavour roast beef ;o)). Im going to let James eat the pickled onion ones (although I will have a little taste to see if I still dont like them ;o)). I had a packet of the roast beef snacks and they were as lovely as they have always been, but again the monsters vital statistics werent there, and for the life of me I cant remember the details about that monster and I am distraught...
...I may even need some psychotherapy!
Since I started dieting several of my visits to the hairdressers have resulted in my hairdresser asking if I have new glasses, because theres something different about me...
...yesterdays visit resulted in the girl colouring my hair (the usual girl who also cuts my hair is on honeymoon) saying youve lost a lot of weight havent you? I've never had this other girl before and to be honest not someone I have never even noticed (but she clearly noticed me) and we spent the time with her colouring in my roots chatting about diets. She and her Mum are both doing the tesco diet, they have both lost around a stone and a half in the last couple of months. Well done them.
I took James' advice and juiced a whole load of fruit this morning...
I didnt buy a jug (as previously intended) and decided to use a washed out two pint milk bottle (is it more being green or just not wanting to pay out for a jug that will probably get stained? hmmmm ;o)). All was going well until I got to the grapes...
...because the bottle I was using wouldnt fit under the spout I moved the juicer to the edge of the sink and held the bottle under the spout in the sink. When I was preparing the fruit (destalking the grapes and taking the stones out of the plums) I had the bottle in the sink. Being the dumb ass that I am I forgot to move the bottle from the sink to hold it under the spout and thus half the grape juice ended up going down the sink! The juice still tasted pretty nice though although James didnt think it tasted sweet enough...
What a load of mess there was though...
...I think next time I will let James get the fruit on Friday and let him do the juicing Saturday morning like has has suggested ;o)
This weekend saw a faux French Market in Chelmsford, I bought some baklava (just one piece this time). I will have to see if it is as good as the stuff from Harrods.
I have tried to be good this week and when I weighed myself this morning, I was well chuffed because I have lost another two pounds ;o)

Veggie nice...
The veggie concoction I had last Monday was really nice...
With my eyes being bigger than my belly (as my Mum would say ;o)) I used far too many vegetables, mind you it certainly made it filling (the sort of thing you could take in a thermos flask to go mountaineering - not that I'm ever likely to try it ;o)).
It ended up being more of a stew...
...all I did was chop up all the vegetables and put them in a saucepan with a can of chopped tomatoes and a small can of kidney beans heated them up and served with potatoes and pasta and basil, many thanks again Another Number for the recipe suggestion.
The question is would I have it again and the answer is...
...yes ;o)
After buying all the apples and grapes last week to juice (incidentally I have decided to limit my juicing to the weekend), I ended up having them chopped up with my other fruit as dessert after my dinner. I am so blooming healthy!
So I hear you ask...
...what has all this healthiness done to your weight?
Well, I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 1 pound.
And I even had a banoffee cheesecake slice last night.
I saw an article in Metro last week that Monster Munch are going to be relaunched back to their old bigger previous size ;o), so while out this morning I bought a packet of the flaming hot ones. Blimey they were lovely.
I was quite disappointed that the pack I bought didnt have the monsters vital statistics on any more. How it used to make me laugh that the monster on my snack liked curry jelly. It always made me wonder what it would taste like ;o).
Thats a thought, Heston Blumenthal could do a Monster Munch inspired menu at the Fat Duck.
I havent bought anything special to do this week as I'm trying to be extra good before our holiday.

Apple, grapes and plum
I finally set up the juicer this morning, whilst making a cup of tea for me & James. Luckily in my half asleep state I poured the boiled water in the mugs and not the juicer.
I have bought a whole load of fruit to juice this morning when doing our weekly shop...
As you can tell by the blog title my first concoction was an apple, some grapes and a plum and it was really nice, James liked the taste of it too (although what he actually said was "its really sweet").
I'll have to see if the fruit juice goodness works its magic ;o).
The juicer was pretty easy to use as the apple fitted down the chute, I cut the plum in half to remove the stone (as I didn't want to ruin the machine's motor on its first use ;o)) and I removed the grapes from their stalk.
As ever the clearing up is never as much fun as the "making" itself, luckily my resident "responsible adult" was on hand to wash up the bits (as I was annoying him with how I was wiping the pulp off). I think next time I will take up James' offer to do the juicing for me ;o).
I've had a naughty couple of days again...
...yesterday not only did I have a massive garlic bread (according to the pack a portion size is only a quarter of the garlic bread!), I also had a cappuccino cheesecake slice (which was extremely nice) I have the other slice to eat tonight and am not willing to share it ;o).
Oh last Sunday I also had a tiramisu dessert and the two baklava I bought.
When I weighed myself this morning (not surprisingly) I have put on two pounds!
This week I am trying a vegetarian option for my dinner one night, thanks Another Number for the recipe idea ;o)
this is what I have bought
I think I have to go now as the fruit juice seems to be working ;o) Sorry for the toilet humour ;o)

Finally cracked it...
I havent set up the juicer yet, so I cant tell you what flavour concoctions I have tried.
Yesterday saw me go upto London yesterday for some shopping...
I wanted to buy a new coat as the one I bought two years ago was (or rather is) way to big.
I have been looking around Chelmsford and Romford for a coat but havent seen one I like, I looked online and saw a rather nice coat in Marks & Spencers, plus I had a five times points voucher which expires today ;o) for my credit card.
So after doing some pre Sunday food shopping it was off to Marble Arch for some retail therapy. Not only did I get my coat but I also bought James a little present too. He has been after a cheap Nurses watch type thing, and whilst shopping I saw a watch keyring which I thought would be ideal and was only £12.00 ;o).
I didnt realise that M&S was next door to Selfridges so I went in there to have a looksie around their foodhalls (certainly cant afford anything else in there ;o)).
I love peanut butter and saw a four pack of Hershey Reeses Chocolate Candy Coated Cookies (they look exactly like Oreo cookies but with peanut butter filling instead).
I then hopped onto the tube to Harrods, I just went around their famous foodhalls and got us two pieces of baklava each one pistachio and one cashew. I didnt go to the Christmas shop because I was getting tired and its more fun looking around there with James ;o).
I then went to Fortum & Mason because they sell the most delicous biscuits.
It was then time to come home as I was shopped out and tired. Just as the train was pulling tinto Bank Station the driver anounced that Liverpool Street Station was shut. Luckily I knew the directions to walk between the two stations (its amazing how quiet the city is when nowheres open).
I weighed myself today and was well pleased as I have lost another pound and have finally hit the five stone mark.
This week its back to bolognese (I havent really bought anything different to what I normaly do).
Sees ya next week.
