Pork Tenderloin

So I went away yesterday/today as I mentioned. It wasn't specifically for valentine's day but it just so happened to fall around there abouts funnily enough. I had an awesome time and I'm prettyyy sure I even managed to keep inside my calories maybe.

Yesterday was cheat day after all so I'm not too bothered about that. But like I mentioned I hate having to deal with my stomach when I'm not at home. Breakfast was chocolate..which I know is terrible but was still within 200 calories. Dinner was two Ryvita with a slice of ham on each so easily under 100. I just didn't want to eat! I can't trust my digestive system to not be a bastard quite frankly. When we reached the hotel we went for a walk and then drinks before tea. I only had a half a cider and I was already well away having not eaten much that day. We went for tea in this amazing cafe. It was well upmarket and the service was awesome. The waitress was falling over herself to be helpful. My travel buddy is a celiac and I am trying to cut out wheat and dairy currently so going gluten free when I'm eating out is the easiest way to manage. Turned out all the dishes on the menu could be prepared gluten free as they were cooked to order. I had a pork tenderloin with black pudding on a bed of some vegetable I don't remember the name of..ignorant I know but it was my first time coming across it. 

The waitress also brought us gluten free dinner rolls and a couple of chocolates at the end of the meal, mine being a dairy free version. Absolute star. She was so helpful. My stomach did growl at me a little bit post food but I think it might have been the result of me not really eating for the day and then having a decadent meal with a half a bottle of wine. We went out post food for some more drinks, just a couple of cocktails really. I didn't need much after the wine. I'm such a lightweight these days. That is where the calories would have counted I think but again, it was cheat day and I hadn't indulged during the entire morning/afternoon so it might have evened out. 

Today was a day out along the seaside. Amazingly random sunny day too it was really unexpected. I even took my coat off for a while! We'd skipped breakfast and dinner was fish and chips...I know AGAIN. Terrible of me but at the same time, tea has been a stew so I think I'm good calorie wise. I had a piece of fruit earlier as well and that's about it. I haven't exercised today but we did do an awful lot of walking..let's just count that shall we. I'll get back onto it tomorrow. I don't often get to gallivant around the country (although I have an awful lot of that coming up shortly funnily enough) so I don't mind having the odd treat. I need to figure this belly thing out though. I don't think eating just Ryvita for the best part of the day is incredibly healthy to be honest. But it's my only solution. 

Right, I'm off to get dry and sort out my work uniform for tomorrow...boo. I have had an amazing two days but at the same time it doesn't feel like I've had any time off from work! Still, wouldn't trade it.

For now though, good boo!
