Today was a good day diet wise, in fact apart from being ill it was a good day all round. We started the day by running the children around to Karate and football etc. Kathleen's Karate lesson was excellent and I am really proud of her for starting at a new Dojo. This part of the day was fine, we took with us what we were allowed to eat. No problems!

We got home and spoke to the in-laws. We decided to pop round for a coffee. They had a little present for us and it was really nice of them (more about that on another post). Then it was decided we would stay for the day. I have to be honest I love my in-laws to bits, they are the nicest people and genuinely care about all of the family. Spending a day with them is quite normal and hugely enjoyable, however, it also tends to be quite food and booze filled. Now that's not a bad thing, in fact I rather enjoy it, but having just started a diet.... well you can see what I am getting at. My father-in-law (Les) is also a very hard man to say no too, if you order a drink it is always a large one, and if you at his house, its a quadrupole!

I have to be honest and say, this was not what I had planned.....

Having said that, Les has got a brand new Bravia 3D TV, and transformers Dark Side of the Moon 3D... so it was rude not to stay and watch it... the children watched it first (we only have 4 pairs of glasses) whilst Les and I played with new gift. Kerry ran home and picked up the ingredients for our planned lunch, arrived back and started cooking... all was going well. Les then suggested we went to the shop and got some snacks in for the film. Kerry and I dived into the books to see what we could have today that would not blow our points. Kerry settled on a curly wurly (6 Syns) and I on 50g Toffee Popcorn (10 Syns). Les and I shot of to the shop, now this is normally where I would fill up with junk and to be fair I was sorely tempted, Kerry would not know! However, I didn't we picked up the supplies minus the popcorn as they did not have any and headed home. Whilst the film was on I had my usual fruit, yogurt and meringue's.... yummy. 

I was impressed with Les and Ed (Mother-in-law) as neither of them offered us a drink, which to be fair I would have rationalised away the syns and fit at least 1 in if I am honest. It was quite a change for them as well, as normally they would have a drink whilst we were there... so maybe this diet is good for all of us?

It was a very enjoyable day all round and the film in 3D was excellent, although it took some getting used to! The only down side (if you can call it that) is that we did not fit in any exercise... still 1 day at a time....

Todays thought is... Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all.
