Been a little busy the last couple of days so haven’t had a chance to write. On Friday, i did an early morning spin class 45 min. Was supposed to do an evening one as well but friends decided to do a last minute dinner party at their house. Very sweet couple and the lady is pregnant. Baby is due in August/September. So, I decided I would cook. I love cooking and their kitchen is really nice. Decided to make some Thai food. Made a Thai Chicken green curry with cashew nuts with Jasmine rice to serve and a Chicken Pad Thai with yummy veggies. Also made a couple of mild Chicken Satay’s for their 6 yr old daughter, she doesn’t like anything too spicy.

The dinner was a huge success. I love it when friends are together and enjoy food. I was really nervous about cooking the dishes but the lady actually told me that I should host ladies dinner parties and she would love me to cook at them. Very sweet. I must admit, I really do get a BIG head when people compliment me about my cooking.  Oh, also had a glass of wine and about 4 tsp of dessert which was vanilla ice cream and choc brownies. Couldn’t finish it because I knew it would be a waste of all my exercising.

Then yesterday, I went to a spin class. The class was very tough. Then I decided to go and burn 600 cals on the machines. By the time I got home, I could barely walk. Soooo exhausted. But I felt really good inside that I had worked so hard. I think the whole time at the gym, I kept thinking about all the Thai food I was burning off …

We had a wine and cheese evening last night. Didn’t go too crazy on the wine, only had a glass of white and 2 glasses of water. Tasted the cheeses but didn’t go all out mad. What I was most proud of was the fact that I didnt decide to do an evening of me getting totally drunk. I was close to thinking about it though. Was feeling sad yesterday and wondered if maybe the sweet wine could ease my pain. But I learned from my last week and I stopped. Extremely seriously proud of myself.

To my credit this morning, because of not getting drunk last night, I went to do a 55 min spin class and burned 500 cals on the machines. Tired now. But, the weekend exercise and eating has been very good. Going to have a relaxing Sunday reading my Norwegian books.
