I forgot to take my camera, but snapped a couple of shots on my phone. Below is the castle which we walked up to. We were so lucky with the weather, whilst it was cold, the sun shone the whole weekend.
On Saturday evening we went to a Chinese Restaurant, but I have discovered a new diet aid in the form of skinny jeans. I could barely eat due to the tightness of said jeans - has to be a winner I think.
On Sunday we went up to South Queensferry and had brunch in an amazing restaurant overlooking the Forth Estuary and the bridges. A view from our table whilst we tucked into a full Scottish breakfast below. I totally recommend a little trip out here if you are ever in Edinburgh. Lovely.
After a fairly hearty breakfast we went for a long walk along the sea. I am hopeful that burnt off a few of the calories consumed.I am wearing about 40 layers here, so I look a bit Michelin Man-esque, but it was bloody freezing despite the sun.
So once again, my weekend seems to have thrown me off track. We have so much on of late, I am seriously struggling to stay in control of pointing. I know the WW diet plan is changing this month, maybe that will be the kick I need to get me back into the swing of things.
I can't make WI tomorrow as we have tickets to see Jimmy Carr so I am going to have to try another class or a Boots WI and hope that the hearty Scottish fayre I consumed at the weekend hasn't caused me too much trauma.

It's always a trade off I think - we want to be leaner as it makes us feel better - but life itself is a seies of cameos of memories and it's too damn short not to enjoy wonderful opportunities in new/other places with special people, so I think you do what you did - try and minimise the damage and work bloody hard the rest of the week to get back in front - kind of painful but eventually you get where you want to be and you've still managed to have a life too.

ReplyDeleteEdinburgh is such a fab city - I've only been a couple of times but love it soooo much. I'm sure you'll find that all the walking will have tempered the food indulgence. And I'm with you - looking forward to the new plan - I love fresh starts!
