I really went over the top today on my diet. I went out shopping with Lulu Lowcarb. I was on trolley duty, meaning I got to tow her wheeled shopping basket around behind me. I get all the best jobs. Not that I’m complaining, the walking is good exercise. I just wish her shopping trolley wasn’t vibrant pink.! Not much street cred for a guy towing a pink trolley. Ah well the experience eventually came to an end.

We dived into a gastro pub eying up the menu I thought, Hmmmm how can I keep it low carbs? I decided the best option was a lamb shank with a pint of beer. I asked for it to be served with no potatoes, just extra veg. It went down a treat, but about 725 calories plus the pint at 260 calories.

I thought I was doing well until I noticed on the menu was a Knickerbocker glory. Now that not only stirred some memories. I could still remember the sheer enjoyment and flavours in slowly devouring one. It must have been forty years since I last had one. I sat there for about 10 minutes arguing with myself and Lulu. I was still under my calorie count for the day, but my carb intake had been severely lashed. Eventually I caved in and ordered one and another beer to wash it down.

For the day my carb and calorie count had been mortally wounded, but I had a smile from ear to ear. Once in a while doesn’t hurt.
