Day 8

Oh my lord, whatever happened to days 6 and 7. For those of you who think they disappeared in a drunken blur - wrong. In fact you couldn't be more wronger!!

I went to the gym on Monday - I bet that has shocked some of you more than the booze free October!  Yes it had been a while, even the dog gave me funny looks. And, I went again today!  Well if I am going to be off the booze, I might as well try to be a bit more healthy don't you think.

The last couple of days have been a bit uneventful on the no-drinking front. Sunday I had a bit of a wobble though - oh it really was touch and go.  I had made a roast chicken dinner complete with yorkshire puds and there on the door of the fridge was a bottle of Sauvignon Moran - sorry Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc. I could hear it. I could smell it even though the lid was on (it was a classy screw top).  It was very tempting indeed, but a reproachful look from Kai (can they DO reproachful??) made me shut the door and stomp around the house for a bit. So I had an extra yorkshire to make up for it.

And the numbers on the doors today:

Funds raised: £570

Drinks consumed: a very dodgy cappuccino, lots of water and NIL alcohol.

Food for the day:

Breakfast: toast and a low fat cheesy triangle (surprisingly tasty)
Lunch: chicken and mushroom omelette
Dinner: Salmon steak, beetroot and a few spicy potato wedges

Exercise: Yay! I am not saying I enjoyed it but I did get very very sweaty (sorry!).  Dad, if you are reading this, look away now!  Let's face it, we all like getting sweaty.

Some friends have started hatching a plan for 1 November and it is shaping up like this;

Cocktails at the Movenpick Hotel (tres posh)
Dinner at the Polo Club

How lovely - makes all of this worthwhile I think - oh yes!

More anon
