Walking in Dalkeith

Today was mild and pleasant - not at all like a late October day! I went for my usual walk - who would have thought I could walk a mile a day? Voluntarily? I'm really glad to be doing it. I do a quick turn around the streets near my office, ending up in a park. It's nice to see the children playing there on fine days and just as nice to have the place to myself when it's dull or windy.
I've been doing this for several weeks now, but on my return today I decided to continue through the centre of Dalkeith and have a peek in a couple of shops. Big mistake. The centre of Dalkeith is full of bakeries and cafes, and the all pervading smell of pastries and fried food nearly broke my resolve! It would have been so nice to just pop into Greggs for a chicken bake, or even a sausage roll! Fortunately it passed, and I left the shops smartish and returned to my office where I thoroughly enjoyed my beans and rice.

Back on Track

Well hopefully that's me back on track now. I did have a bit of a hiccup last Friday when I had a Greggs Chicken Bake along with my lunch, then in for a penny, I had a chinese meal for my dinner Kung Po Chicken and Fried Rice! Crisps on Saturday and I don't know what I ate on Sunday! I obviously managed to pull it back though because I managed to lose 2.5lb over the week. I hope there hasn't been some kind of delayed reaction... I am trying to be good this week.
