Was up in Sunderland playing Table Tennis in the Veterans Northern Masters and enjoyed the weekend away although my results weren't great. Had some good games (and wins) and to be fair didn't get the best of draws but did come away a litle dissapointed.
Some of my matches were quite physical and very good exercise but probably cancelled the benefit out with a couple of excellent meals at the Pub attached to the hotel.
It was a Old Orleans Pub and they specialised on Cajun type meals, the food was suerband they didn't skimp on quantity either.

Paula came with me so it was nice although she is still suffering with sciatica, wish I could do more to make her feel better.
A for the table tennis must mention one of my training partners Jane did great winning the Ladies event including a win over the England number one in the last 8.
Talking abut training off in the morning and also tuesday night so the exercise level will be good.
So its now back on the wagon and concentrating on weight loss (no bread or potato this week)

No bread or potato! How's that working for you? Can you eat wraps?
Nope just do without, cut them out of meals, basically eat everything else I would but not replace them with anything.
Its only for one week then next week I'll drop something else out.
Yay, Mick! Bread and potatoes don't have anything nutritionally that we can't get lots of other places and they really just inflate calorie-counts and make our body chemistry more acidic (because they turn into sugar so fast when we digest them). I eat nothing that contains any wheat flour (wraps, tortillas, pasta, crackers, noodles, etc.).
