Dalyan – 15th March

It would probably come as no surprise to any of you that I found myself in somewhat of a fragile state on Wednesday 15th March. I was so glad that I’d said no to the Köyceğiz boat trip with Mark, Kate, Daisy, Phoebe and others today as I would not have made it. I was still lolling about in my dressing gown on the sofa at mid-day!
I’d barely got my act together by the time I needed to go to Fat Club. Today we were doing another tasting session where we all had to take something to eat that was syn free. I stupidly decided to make a red and green pepper tortilla without thinking about transporting it there. I ended up being late and having to take it on the chopping board with foil over it. I was so hungover as I stepped on the scales, fully expecting to have put weight on this week. I was surprised to see I had lost 0.4kg (again), I would have to be careful I didn’t put it on next week, though. The taster session was marvellous and, as there wasn’t many of us there, it was just the right amount of food to try. The other ladies’ contributions were fab and I enjoyed all of the dishes, which is rare for me as I’m so fussy with food. There were juicy strawberries, a delicious vegetarian ‘meatloaf’, moreish savoury biscuits, and crunchy crudites with scrumptious hummus. I loved all of it and was happy to get the recipes to try them myself another day. I didn’t have the big bottle of water this time as I was too busy scoffing the healthy treats down but 2 soda waters cost me 50 lira (£2.13), so I won’t be doing that again!
I took it easy for the rest of the day and at dinner time I just had a vegetable pasta dish. I then got peckish and ate 3 ginger nut biscuits not realising they were 4 syns each! I’d had an alcohol and meat free day with exercise too so it was a good day overall. This weekend would be tricky, though, as I was planning on being away for a few days.
