I haven’t posted about this for a while have I. To be fair I haven’t really posted much for the last three weeks on my blog generally.
Work and life and just general stuff got in the way of writing so I put writing on hold and with that it seems I did the same with my diet. This is not to say that I blew it, I didn’t, but I did not have the same rigour I had had previously. Where I may have had a salad before I now had a salad sandwich. Where I would have had a diet coke I had a couple of Guinness and oh, there was that day when I ate all the kids pepperami’s and told each of them the other had eaten them and then berated them both for lying. Little buggers.
I did discover that I really like Guinness too though I don’t know why I never tried it before. Perhaps it’s because I prefer my drinks brightly coloured with umbrellas and Guinness seems such a manly drink to me. If you were going to get into a fight and had the choice of having a Guinness or a strawberry daquiri as back up it would be Guinness every time. Guinness probably did karate when it was younger and is a bit lively in a scrap outside of a kebab shop at 2 in the morning. Not that daquiri doesn’t have it’s place, but it’s more of a bitchy cat fight and a good hair pull.
Anyway, whilst I do love the whole 30 thing it does require you to shop and cook properly and if you let things slip and the fridge runs low it is pretty hard to stay on track. I’ve started shopping twice a week to prevent that happening and am now just about back on track.
Oh apart from yesterday when I went to this little place that sells South African stuff an ended up stuffing my face with Tomato Fritos which you cannot get over here. Actually, England has a real dearth of tomato flavoured things in general.
Let’s see how the next week goes shall we. I am still about 33 pounds down on where I started three months ago so still happy with that.
Afterwards 
Guiness is the manly drink. However, daquiries are good when you are trying to show a lady your more gentle side.

That Guiness looks like a thick coffee drink with all that foam on top. Well, 33 pounds down is still admirable and you weren’t having that pink-frosted donut. I laughed about the pepperamis and the kids … we have those here too, like beef jerkey, especially around hunting time. Sometimes you have to have something spicy that’s got a little kick to it.

Guinness looks tough but it’s just a big teddy bear. It’s a chocolate espresso frappe in disguise!!!
Also, your parenting techniques, LOL. Careful or they’ll grow up just like you…

If it comes down to it, Guinness could knock me out. On the other hand, so could a daiquiri…

Sometimes a little splurge does a soul good (as long as 1lb of food remains 1 lb glaring at the scale)
