The wine diet

Not the most auspicious start to my rigorous training schedule for Windsor Triathlon next year...

Sophie made us some glorious macaroni cheese with a rocket, red pepper and seed salad last night.  Sometimes the joy of her cooking is overwhelming - especially when I think I've been depriving yourself.  I got so excited by the cheese, the pasta, the tangy mustardy bits that I just didn't want to stop. 

So I didn't stop.

After the second helping of pasta was finished, I moved onto chocolate.    The chocolate was Green and Black's Almond chocolate, which is good on its own.  It's even better with a nice red, and we chose a wine that we'd brought back from a recent trip to Barcelona - Torres Atrium. 

Then after the first bottle I moved onto an Australian Shiraz.

Oh Dear God.  It's important to let your hair down from time to time, and the odd
reward certainly motivates me, but I think I might have overdone it this time.

 Perhaps I should add "self-control" to my training routine?
