One month in

One month in.

How have I gone?

January is usually an easy one.  A lack of celebrations and parties.  Everyone is still trying to stick to their new years resolutions.  Dry Jan becomes damp Jan. And soon we are in Feb.

I've not found it hard.  There hasn't been too much on. Just a couple of birthday parties-one ending with banoffee pie - a true test of one of my favourites.

I walked away feeling a sense of achievement.  There was loads of left overs which I knew only meant one thing - If I'd of been eating it, I would have finished the lot.  So there's the positive which is linked to one of my big reasons for this - I am an all or nothing person.  To say no wasn't hard....but to have had one piece would not have been an option.

Anzac day celebrations at school? Luckily not a fan of Anzac biscuits or lamingtons - but in the past I would have eaten them all anyway just because. Steak and cheese pie on the other hand.....

The ease of it has also perhaps been helped by the fact that I had a sneaky weekend away in Hoi An where I fully enjoyed the sugar laden street food.... banana crepes, mango mochi (funnily enough, no mango, just full of peanut and sugar. Heaven), and of course Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. 

This weekend is my first brunch of the year.... lets see how I go with resisting a molten chocolate cake after the prosecco has been flowing in full force.
