Hubby is 70 on Sun. In this house ,birthdays go on for days...... .Just started with a relatively low key,old habit barbecue for us.Sit tight -you'll be horrified .A few lamb cutlets (I had the smallest) ,a slice of duck breast ( no skin ,probably about 4ozs cooked weight) ,one Aldi Guinness sausage ( to die for !) and a small, low fat turkey patty. Oh -and a Med quinoa salad with fresh roasted veg and 2ozs of crumbled feta.
All in all -a MASSIVE cheat .
I feel like I have eaten at least a whole small sheep.
Meat protein at this level is a real shock after being largely veggie for a long time .
Delicious of course -but don't think I could do an Atkins any time soon.
Maybe my eating habits are slowly changing at last?
Chinese Dim Sum and cocktails tomorrow .Sigh .
Pulled pork on Sat & Spanish tapas on Sunday.
Not a cat in hell's chance of surviving unscathed .... but the test is getting back on the wagon.
Wish me luck !

The most important thing, I think, is that you enjoy your family celebration.ππ
With a 3 stone badge next to your name you must be doing g something right and able to get back on track when needed. I don't think you need luck, you've got it sussed.
Enjoy π
PS--glad you mentioned the Aldi sausage, I was looking and wondering earlier this week
Not sure this is the place to celebrate a sausage Janecad ! π±π±π±π± Even the duckbreast slices were Aldi -and lovely .Built-in portion control too ! Lol!
Enjoy this celebration of your husbands big day. 70 is worth celebrating and Im quite sure you'll get back on track. Life is for living to quote a cliche so enjoy.πππ
Only if you promise to knock me back on the straight and narrow afterwards ! I have all my life's ' celebrating' on my butt! Haha ! Far too good at it ! Seriously -thank you .
