Went to a BBQ last night. I made sure I ate before I went - some lovely Uncle Ben's lemon and rosemary ( i think) rice. It is just under 400 cals and about 4 grams of fat.

When I got to the barbie, I had some salad and a little bit of bread with some tzatziki, and a little bit of cheese. I didn't eat any meat and had to turn down people's encouragement to eat some a couple of times. Overall I think I did quite well.

It was a fairly boozy affair however. I know that if I could try and cut out some of the boozing me progress would be better but it seems that 90% of all get togethers with mates involve drinking in some form or other. This is unlikely to change so I have to be good and at least opt for lower cal options and stay away from those pints!

I have just calculated my BMI. It was 28.3 when I started this and it has gone down to 27.5 now. I am in the "overweight" category - (you don't say!) - 24.9 will get me into the "normal" category. According to the calculator this will occur when I get to 149 lbs......
