Saturday Week 16

Well at least the rain has stopped, we have had 2 days of blustery bright and warm weather. This makes me feel like going out on my bike again! Fair weather leisurely riders here. We did manage a very short bike ride today to do the watering for fear of the plants dying at my parents if I did not do it!
Today has been fairly leisurely all day really, I dropped my wife off for her interview which was apparently a grueling one, just as well she had done plenty of prep beforehand. I then went to do the weeks grocery shop and she arrived home just after I had put all the shopping away!!
I then cooked the kids nice fresh 1/4lb butchers burgers on our health grill (similar to a George Foreman but loads better at cooking) the smell was lovely though the amount of fat that runs out of them is worrying!

Yesterday my wife and I ate the clear jelly I had made and we were most impressed, so much so another is setting in the fridge for the next day or 2. The whole 1 pint jelly has a total of 52 calories which I hope is not going to be a problem at next weeks weigh in! We are allowed all the ingredients in moderation, so I figure an extra 26 calories (half a jelly) every other day or so will not be too much of a problem. I also have fallen in love with the water flavourings, I have had about 3 pints of my water today made with the summer berry flavouring and its lovely!! I could not have it all the time but the odd drink is nice. Again I will moderate the amount I consume (approx 12 calories per litre) It has even helped me to drink more water today I am up to 11 pints so far (approx 5.5 litres). I have one of my meals left to consume and will probably have a tomato soup followed by a nice soak in the hot tub.
