What a week!!!
My 60th birthday, wonderful. But, if I had still weighed 250 lbs and worn size 24 clothes, I would not have enjoyed all this! I would not have enjoyed dressing up (" who does she think she is kidding trying to look good?"), I would have felt uncomfortable eating ("how can that fat woman enjoy quality food? ), I wouldn't have gone for a massage. I hated my body and did nothing which i felt drew attention to it.
What a week! DH knows me so well - everything he planned was absolutely perfect! Here's what we did, luckily we had a couple of "days off" in the middle! Lots of food but it was all "fine dining" food and so not too much and not too heavy.
Two nights in a 5* hotel with luxury spa (St. Davids Hotel in Cardiff to be near the family),
champagne in room on arrival
room filled with flowers (courtesy of son!)
two spa treatments
meal for all extended family and our "best friends" family in the hotel - magnificent food! Very haute cuisine!
Japanese meal for next day lunch, all close family .
actually on my birthday, evening meal for just the two of us in a Michelin starred restaurant - unbelievable, never had food like it before! My first Michelin experience!
2 nights in hotel in central London (near St GIles Circus/Tottenham Court Road)
Ballet at Covent Garden (Royal Opera House)
Dinner served by the ROH before the performance and then dessert in the interval in the ROH wonderful dining room
And finally, the next day, afternoon tea at the Ritz!
And then back down to earth! But only 4lbs heavier and that will go in a couple of days if i take care!
