The Temple of Temptation

Apologies for the lack of blogging, etc.  I have been running around (not in a Marathon-kind- of way, though) and came to London.  I had time to kill in the middle of the day and rather than benefit from the cultural offerings, I was on a mission.

I revisited the store that precipitated the Route to Management downfall in 2007 ie the time when you stop being abstinent and start introducing new things and living in the world of food.  I'll try to dig out the link...

And where is this temple of temptation?  None other than Whole Foods, Kensington High Street.  So, while The Chocolate Alchemist's wares were on offer in the window:

I walked straight inside and had something far more virtuous (although, quite frankly, there is much value AND virtue in eating a chocolate dog whilst supporting Guide Dogs for the Blind!).

This was my lunch before I tucked in...

And once I sat down...

I'm on the road again tomorrow so will update very soon.

Stay strong everyone and I must admit, I had completely forgotten just how much food is on offer in the capital.  I was nearly lured by Ben's Cookies at the Tube!  And that was just one of many opportunities to snack that I had to ignore!

When I finally got home, very late, I had scrambled eggs on toast for supper, which was made AFTER I had to make an emergency supermarket stop.   I walked up and down the aisles, contemplated so many things but reminded myself that I needed eggs and Diet Coke only.  So that's when I marched to the till, paid and left.  That visit could so easily have gone in the opposite direction...

I am beginning not to recognise my own behaviour at times, which I am concluding can only be a good thing.  I am also frightened of saying that out loud...as it usually precedes a massive downfall on the food front.

Weight-wise I am up but with hormones in the mix, I won't be able to get a full picture until tomorrow. I hope the scales will be kind...

I hope the scales are kind too, sounds like you deserve it.

Ben's Cookies huh? Another sugary temptation I feel compelled to try (still haven't had a red velvet cupcake but it's still on my mind). You know more about London than I do even though I live here!

Brilliant stuff Mrs. A tofu spring roll instead of a chocolate dog...now that is progress!! (Which I have to say is a sentence I never anticipated coming out with).
