A weekend of two halves...

This weekend was always going to be challenging....a weekend that included:

the army v navy rugby match at Twickenham...with 18 others...
a 50th birthday party and
a family barbeque!!

Let me explain, for the uninitiated, about the Army-Navy Rugby match. Really, it is about a day of drinking rudely interrupted by 80 minutes of rugby. Everyone brings a picnic and lots to drink and has a really good time regardless of the result. Which is just as well for Navy supporters ( like me) as every year we get soundly beaten by the Army, what with an ever-increasing number of rugby nationals and Fijians on the Army side (am I a bad loser???????? Ha!!) Anyway, this year we were thoroughly and embarrassingly hammered. And I'll not say any more, other than that I was very moderate in my eating and drinking and had what I wanted and remained in control. Success!!! Oh yes, and we had two QUALITY streakers :-)

Yesterday was all about my brother-in-law's BIG birthday, the (whisper) BIG-5-OH!!!!
Another day of socialising and partying, buffets (which I don't actually like so actually not a problem for me, so had a good, sober time and felt great. I decided to move my two N days to Sunday and today due to the long weekend and the family barbeque today. Although today was therefore an N day and I shouldn't feel bad about relaxing foodwise, I still overdid it and ate too much cheese and too much cake. I am a long long way from moderation. Old habits are dying very hard.

Next challenge is that I fly out to Florida for a wedding on Wednesday for a week. I'll be blogging daily as I'll appreciate guidance on how to cope on vacation!
Back soon!!!!
