Friends, Dogs and Mud

I didn’t manage to post a blog last night because after a busy and hectic day at work I hot-footed it to the Old Dr. Butler’s Head

to meet some dear friends I was at University with.

We enjoyed watching the end of THE match

and then headed out for dinner.

We dined at The Hawksmoor , Guildhall which serves up a lovely cocktail and a wonderful steak but is very pricey.   A fabulous night with some very dear friends who I wish I could see far more often.

This morning I wanted to pack in some nutrients so went for strawberries and blueberries,

coconut water, cottage cheese and sesame seeds.

Unfortunately the cottage cheese was a bit off so I drank half and then decided to pass on the rest as it was too cheesy.

I had a lovely day out to look forward to which involved a dog walk with Barney

and Ted, who showered us in mud several times!  Sally and Michelle came too 🙂

Wet and muddy?  Moi?

We had lunch at The Sportsman near Tadworth which is a very dog friendly pub.  Even wet ones although the landord did towel Ted down before he was allowed in.

Sally treated us to some fizz – thank you Sally 🙂

And we dined on superb burgers

and then a naughty pudding – pecan pie with butterscotch sauce.  A lovely treat after a wet and muddy walk.

After a visit to meet the newest addition to Sally’s family, hello Mac,

we went to have tea with Dad

and Ted got muddy, again!

So not a good diet day but at least we had a walk so that helped a bit.  Must do better tomorrow!

About Lose Weight and Gain Health

Hi! My name is Zoe and I live in Hastings, East Sussex, with my son Harvey and dog, Milton. I have been fighting the fat for years but this time I am serious. I want to lose weight and gain health. This blog is about how I am changing my lifestyle so I can lose weight but not by just "being on a diet" but by making small changes to our lives so that as I lose weight, I gain health. I want my family to be healthy too and never have to struggle with their weight like I have. In common with many large people, I have gained and lost weight many times over the years. This time, I want to lose it and maintain a healthy low weight. I am interested in eating food that is nutrient dense and delicious and that appeals to children and adults. I do not eat animal products so follow a vegan diet. I try to use locally produced food supplemented with what I can grow myself. I support and try to use local farmers markets and farm shops. Another objective is to add more exercise to our days. It sounds so simple when I write it down :-)
