While the kids are off school I try to take them places that will entertain them and keep them occupied. I find in the summer they can quite easily get bored.
Today we got an invitation to go for a picnic. We have been on picnics a few times before and the kids have always enjoyed them. I knew the kids would like it having other children to play with so we decided to go.
We filled the car with bikes, scooters, skateboards and anything that would entertain them. We also made ourselves a picnic.
We made up sandwiches, took sausage rolls, crisps and cake all things you would usually put in a picnic basket.
This was the first time I have had a picnic since I have changed to eating healthier. Packing up a picnic with food I could eat was not really that difficult. I managed to make myself a ham salad and I took an apple. It didn’t bother me that the kids were eating sandwiches and cake because I really enjoyed my salad.
What I did like about it is the fact I can still go out and join other people, chat have a laugh and not feel like I am missing out or being deprived.
I find most things I do socially all revolves around food. I may have changed my diet, but it’s nice to know that socially some things remain the same.
