Oh dear.
You know how my modus operandi is slogging away at the diet and seeing
little result or no result? I went
off-piste last weekend. As in
spectacularly off-piste: Reader, I went berserk. I knew I was going out for dinner on Friday –
a deal for three courses and a glass of champagne – and I knew that we were
going to meet for a couple of cocktails first in our favourite bar (this was
inevitable given that by some twist of happy fate, both places were in the same
hotel). But.
- · 4 cocktails
- · Glass champagne
- · Flight of champagne (three small glasses)
- · Shared a bottle of wine with P (I definitely had well under half)
Eek! I
don’t drink a lot – mainly because of being calorific – so this is a LOT of
booze for me. P went on to have dessert
wine and a large whisky – and he’d had two gins before I got there. Suffice it to say though that when I got up
on Saturday I am pretty sure I was still drunk.
This – combined with a dress rehearsal and performance that day (choir)
– led to random and reckless eating on Saturday. And you know that I beaver away and get a
fractional loss? SO doesn’t work the
other way around: I put on 4lbs.
Overall – WI was today – I’m 2lbs up. And I looked back across my stats and I can
see that I’ve been in this stone bracket for a year. I cannot believe I’ve been slogging all this
time and have only got to x.4 – currently I’m x.7. I had really wanted to be down in the next
stone bracket by now. Hell, by months
ago. Still, I’m not allowing it to
de-rail me into another weekend like last weekend. You may start talking about stable doors and
bolting horses. You may even be
right. But given that I can do that much
damage in two days, if I went free-style, it’s possibly for the best.

I saw the pictures on Instagram and those cocktails looked beautiful. And I still don't think that the consumption was commensurate with the gain. I admire you terribly for being so positive in terms of getting back to it - you work so hard and your metabolism is just plain mean.
Any particular cocktail recommendations? I tried a Porn Star martini recently and although I loathe the name, the combination of passion fruit and vanilla vodka was a beautiful thing.
