I am sooooooooo disappointed. Last night I broke the cardinal rule of not weighing myself before Saturday. But the news was good...I had lost a further 2 lbs. making a grand total of 7 lbs. Unfortunately the jubilation did not last long. It was destroyed by one of the worst culinary experiences I have ever had to endure!
Eating like a pregnant bird for the past two weeks, I must say I had been looking forward very much to our Vietnamese meal out last night. It was a get-together of the parents and girls who had gone on the Vietnam/Singapore trip. We were going to be fine dining in an award winning Vietnamese restaurant - the finest in the city. Says who??? The starter made a lump of soap seem tasty. It was a spring roll with 3 prawns hiding inside it, covered in what looked like white candle wax. Yuck! it tasted bland and was completely tasteless. I could only swallow it down once I had drowned it in hot sauce. It could have been a dead rat I was eating because all I could taste was the hot sauce.
Then the entree...wait for it! It arrived looking like an omelette and when I peaked underneath the blanket of deep fried something, lurking beneath it was MORE disgusting rice noodles and three more miserable prawns. Again more hot sauce... I think I must have used up the hot sauce for all the table. I was starving so I ate it and then today to add to my misery the 2 lbs. I had worked SO hard to lose, was back to haunt me! To add insult to injury we had to pay for this amazing food!
No! I'm not a happy camper tonight. Kevin is starting me on a boot camp fitness regime tomorrow. He must have been in the army in a past life because he is taking to all this fitness thing like a duck to water. He is thrilled to be able to take out his boy toy again - the rat zapper. He gets such a thrill out of catching rats. He explained it's the hunter in him and that all men are hunters at heart. I wonder...hopefully next week will be better than this one was. Still, I have managed to keep off the 5 lbs. I lost which is good.
Shall keep you posted!
Love ya,

About Me
- Patricia Delisha
- My name is Patricia Delisha. People call me 'Delisha' because I'm a tasty cook. That's the problem - too tasty! I realized I had a problem with food when I tried to chew this plastic octopus at the Seattle Aquarium. I love squid. The powers that be were not impressed! Every year I set myself a new challenge. Last year it was to write a book on Child Astrology, a subject close to my heart. This year I want to write the follow-up book 'Dancing with the Stars' on relationships and astrology - AND - since I'm a sucker for punishment - to lose 20-30 lbs. of chub. THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL! I've set myself the challenge of losing the pounds by the time the current series of 'American Idol' ends in May. Will I do it? YOU BETCHA and if I don't well then I shall have to eat humble pie on this blog site. Come along with me for the ride and see how it goes. Maybe you could join forces. After all, there's strength in numbers - right?
