Day 21 - I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it

The above quote is from As You Like It, which I saw on Friday night in Stratford (-upon-Avon, not the one in east London) and to me it seems apposite on two levels. Firstly, I do very much like Stratford and could willingly live there and 'waste my time in it'. I could even do something useful in it, it doesn't have to be a timewaste. That would be nice - but for now, not really practicable. Hey ho. Secondly, I can relate it to this diet....having reached ketosis - again - I realise just how good it is to be here and not to be struggling. And cheating means struggling. So, I've found it really quite simple this weekend to stay 'on plan'. Which is all to the good. I even managed to go to a restaurant with Mr S and keep him company whilst he ate a (yummy looking) pizza and chocolate pudding, just ordering water/coffee etc and not giving a stuff about what the staff thought. Here's some other 'good' things from this weekend....

- Drank only water on the car journey (ok, so that did mean 3 stops on a 3 hour journey) - usually we'd pick at sweets and crisps the whole way
- Had a shake when I got there then nothing all pm
- Met the lovely Ruth and drank black tea and water and didn't mind one bit not having a big stonking cake to go with
- Sat with Mr L whilst he had a jacket spud/chicken dinner and only whinged a little bit
- Went to theatre - twice - and had no sweets
- Went to the Dirty Duck - twice - and very nearly automatically ordered my usual large glass of red but remembered and didn't
- didn't go to breakfast in the b&b at all today, and yesterday just had coffee

As You Like It and Julius Caesar in one weekend - fantastic. I've got to mention Mariah Gale who played Rosalind so very, very well (she's the understudy, and I don't know for sure but I suspect it was her first night in the role) and Sam Troughton, who was amazing as Brutus in JC....such a good actor. And we had lovely weather, and there was a river festival to waste time at, so all in all I've had a fabulous time.

Short blog post as not really much to say, other than I'm dead chuffed to have been away for the whole weekend and dealt with it well.

Weigh in tomorrow. I know what my own scales suggest, but I'm keeping my own counsel on that until after tomorrow night's WI. I'm not dreading it as much as last week, though. Will update tomorrow!
