Three for three

WARNING WARNING ... RED FLAG ALERT 

So I passed another red flag event today, my work Christmas party where staff members from offices far and wide meet for a meal.  This time up in Hamilton at a very lovely restaurant. 

So I made a considered choice - tomato, basil and goats cheese frittata with a green salad, no chips.   And I thoroughly enjoyed it.  And then when it came time for desserts and lots of the staff were ordering these delicacies that they had on display, I settled for a skinny latte.

GO ME!

WARNING WARNING ... SECOND RED FLAG ALERT FOR THE DAY

And the day is not over.  It's Mike's birthday today so I'm cooking him a special meal tonight.  Garlic prawns, his favourite.  Lucky I don't like prawns, probably saying that is like blasphemy in a few people's opinions!!  But prawns = ick for me.  I've bought a little piece of ling fish and am having a small salad with it for dinner.

Now Mike is not a big one for birthday cake, every year he asks for birthday pav.  And it's his dream to have a whole pav to himself, yikes!!!  Not in the one sitting mind you, he's not that crazy.  But tonight his dream comes true.  I've made a small pav shell last night (no licking the beaters!!) and it's all his.  I have yoghurt and a banana in my future for dessert.

I'm really feeling strong and on top of things and IN CONTROL, it's a GREAT feeling.

And what I want the most is the girl I am becoming, and to be frank, over half way there.  I love the me I am right now, and there's no way I'm selling her short by losing control all for the sake of a bit of pav.
