I was doing so well..

Well, you see, i've been trying to cut out on snacking and drinking as much water as possible. For example, my last alcoholic beverage was at least three weeks ago, and even then it was just one and a complete one off. Also i was drinking copious amounts of milk, possible 5ish glasses a day.. until i found out milk has roughly 500 calories per pint!! Shocking, i know.

Anyway, i had been doing so well, practically all ive been drinking is water (and the odd hot chocomel - how could i resist?!) So basically i got into the habit of eating breakfast with Ineke and the children (accompanied by a glass of water may i just add.) Having something small for lunch and then eating dinner in the evening (ok, so i have been eating a dessert if there is one, but surely that is just included in dinner!!)

Right, so even if i do say so myself i have been doing pretty well (considering i havent been smoking during the week at all and most people replace cigerettes with food). So was doing good until yesterday, when i arrived at coconuts and gobbled a whole plate of Poffertjes (my reasoning for this was that i walked all the way there and all the way back, so of course this was allowed.) and then today i have just had the biggest craving for chocolate ever!! so i walked over the road to the shop. Bought a big bar of Dairy Milk. And sat and ate the lot. Tasted blimin good though!!! (not to mention the 2 glasses of milk..)

Doei!

Great story here about a strivesome and hard life - lot's of temptations but also sportmanship, walking to THAT shop.

Tell you something you didn't know (oh my, how could you) - I have one bite of chocklade every day. But it has to be 85% cocoa or more (well 75% if nothing else available). I don't drink milk but love fat cheese, uses tons of real butter, hardly eat red meat, lot's of fish, haven't touched wine since last year (ok, it was that celebration). No beer, no alcool, no cakes, no cross country skiing. Stop. Don't say more.
Yes, one more thing: I like your blog. It really tells something.
