Had a great night on the West Coast last night. Dinner was a bit of a challenge, got to my cousins house where I was staying and found out we were having fish and chips for dinner and instead of going off to the supermarket, I gave in and had them.

I did get up and go for a walk with my cousin this morning and it was nice to be walking with the sea on one side of me and the lush bush on the other. I have forgotten how nice the West Coast can be.

Garry and I stopped at Arthurs Pass and had a really nice lunch , a chicken filo parcel with salad which still fits with my eating plan.

It’s my birthday tomorrow so we (our two daughters and my husband )are going out for Teppen Yaki for dinner. As its the end of daylight saving I will get a sleep in and manage a walk in the morning I am sure.

I read an article today about drinking water to lose weight and I am very conscious that I still need to up the amount I drink in a day.
