Your all so sweet .. thank you all for the lovely comments ..
it's my last night here in Malta and it's with mixed feelings that I leave ..
it's been an incredible liberating holiday where I've walked around a pool area in my swimsuit ! In full view of strangers ! I've worn every single item of clothing I packed , usually I've worn the same c,others I'm comfy in ? But this time I've enjoyed seeing what's waiting for me in the wardrobe .. all bright colours and sleeveless tops and dresses .. my arms are lovely and brown so I don't mind showing them off , even the bingo wings flapping hasn't fazed me to much .. ...
I'm wearing slinky marks and Spencer's negligee ! One in white which is all straps and looks amazing with my tan
White plastic chairs that plaque restaurants and cafes made me think twice but I knew they weren't a problem although I still sit gingerly lol ..
A few food issues but nothing major and to be honest I can't wait to get home tomorrow and go shopping for all my fav healthy Band food , I've missed it .. I feel a need to do a detox ..
Food in general .. I've been disappointed I guess .. the foods which before would have seen me drooling over , have massively let me down this time .. even ice cream hasn't had me stopping at each gelato vendor to sample another yummy flavour .. I've eaten ice cream 3 times and one of those times was McDonald's lol .. the only food I really could eat a ton of is Bruschetta .. it's such a simple dish really , a starter usually .. toasted Maltese bread , sometimes rubbed with garlic , piled up with chopped fresh tomatoes , basil , onions , sometimes some cheese added and hubby likes fresh tuna mixed in his .. we sprinkle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on it and munch .. oh my gosh it's so good , the tomatoes are so sweet and fresh .. I will be making this at home !
Mozzarella is something I cannot tolerate .. I can't chew it down enough to swallow it ! The more I chewed the more it became like chewing gum ! Yuk ! Spat that out into a serviette !
Malta is changing fast , so fast I don't think they are able to keep up with themselves .. buildings are springing up everywhere .. I was on,y here 3 years ago and the difference is massive .. it's still so magical though , esp at night when all the lights are on and they reflect into the inky waters .. I swam in the Blue Lagoon , even jumping off the side of the boat ( I know ! Get me ! ) . I think I'm going to take up swimming. A few times a week when I get back .. it will help with toning, knee muscles and general well being ..
I've felt the full impact of the weight loss this holiday and it's been amazing ..
Cant wait to read through all the diaries that I've missed since I've been away !
Hugs to you all
