Just leaving the Hotel on Sunday morning. That's me in the silver jacket behind the red bike
Our Bikes outside the Bushranger Hotel, Collector
How the heck has it got to Tuesday?
Eating out again was the order of the weekend. Rode our motorbikes over 900km on the weekend and I have now proved that good choices can be made when eating out, but you have to get very savvy, there are all sorts of ditches to trip one up. You have to maintain resolve and keep goals firmly in mind at all times. I wonder if I'll get sick of having to mind what I eat and do all the time?
The other thing is to be very firm in what you ask for at food outlets. I've been bullied a few times, but no more. Make sure you get what you ordered, I have discovered it is important to be very clear about what you want when ordering and if it isn't what you asked for (especially when its offered on a menu), send it back!
Below is a summary of what I ate from varying outlets, but all pretty good choices and well within my daily food allowances, these might help others when eating out!
Breakfast Sat - YuckDonalds (Maccas) at Narellan - I chose a slice of raisin toast, but it was hard because everyone else was eating hotcakes, or egg and bacon muffins and so on. But the choice was made and I drank water.
Morning Tea: Marulan cafe- I didn't have anything except a drink of water but had to watch everyone else eat devonshire teas etc. (That was torchure, but I felt good about it later.)
Lunch - at Berry Bowling Club. The choice was very difficult as everything was served with chips chips and more chips. I asked for the hamburger with vegetables - but they didn't want to do it. In the end I had to pay an extra $3 to get my plate of vegetables, but I stood firm and that's what I got.
Dinner - at the Bushranger Hotel, Collector: Fabulous selection, so it was easy to pick well. I chose steak and vegetables and it was really nice. Looked at how much I'd eaten over the day and decided I could afford a couple of small scoops of icecream for dessert which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Breaky Sunday - Bushranger Hotel: Continental breaky served, so again it was quite easy to choose wisely. I had 2 pieces of wholemeal toast and a very small serving of sultana bran.
Morning tea - Yuckdonalds Batemans Bay: I chose to have a Mango smoothy, it was yummy and probably the worst choice of the weekend.
Lunch - Berry Bowling club: Easy choice for lunch - Beef and vegetable stir fry and it came out just right with the smallest amount of beef, so I was happy, a couple of the men weren't (as you can imagine).
We didn't stop again till we got home - the riding conditions had deteroriated drastically, we battled heavy rain and fog in a few places, the road was very slippery, but we made it home just after dark.
We were too tired to do anything in the way of cooking so I made up a pot of Pumpkin soup from dehydrated mix, it was enough.
