Low Carb Diet (atkins)

Badger_Lady

Yes, I've certainly been craving cake since it got cold! First time I've felt the need since - oo - last winter

I think this must be a natural time of year for the body to try and store up fat to see you through the winter - to be honest, motivation is lower too, I'm wearing woolly jumpers, who cares what shape I am underneath?

Well, I've got a big motivator now - just been asked to do an art nude photoshoot in Wiltshire! So some serious toning to do in the next few weeks, and possibly a bit of extra fasting too...

ok thats my excuse for the bread,. time of year lol

it was a buffet place that i had my toffee banana thingies, is just up the road from us, far too close for comfort, acturally u can eat fairly lowcarb there.. note the word CAN tho lol

i used to always be warm but now get cold a lot but whether thats cos of losing 8stone and not having so much fat or cos of lowcarb i dont know

oooh badger u are a brave lady to do that!!

ravy am sure u will be able to find one thats fairly lowcarb just dont get one that comes with naan etc so u arent tempted

daisy u are forgiven cos u got back on the path lol

Good morning my lovlies :wave:

Stop me if this sounds in anyway familiar, but:

Yaaaay!!! It's Friday!!!!!! :j :rotfl::D

and I'll tell you what, I am absolutely cream crackered (low-carb cream crackered, obviously lol:D). For one reason or another (and none of them fun) I have been late home every night this week. It's been a real long slog getting to Friday... all I want to do right now is sleep:o. My lovely gilly is exhausted too - he's under a lot of pressure at work and has been putting in 12-hour days this week - he works so hard. And inspite of getting home late and cold and craving carby stuff, he's been so good and not wavered and stuck to the diet. Which is more than can be said for myself this week. Daisy hun I'm definitely in the naughty corner - I've had wine twice this week:o. And at the company 'town hall' meeting yesterday I caved in and had a mini apricot danish thing for breakfast:o... well it was either that, or a croissant, or a chocolate chip cookie, or a fairy cake type thing. Not exactly Atkins-friendly offerings:rolleyes: I guess I could've had nothing... but I was so hungry...:rolleyes:

It's interesting ravy what you say about feeling cold - Gilly will tell you I am almost constantly freezing these days. I actually found myself envying someone's woolly hat on the tube this morning! :rotfl: I wonder if it is sommat to do with less carbs or weightloss - altho I've not lost that much weight. Badger Lady I hope you dont get too chilly at the photoshoot:D

Re: curry - we've got a couple of Asda chicken currys in the freezer - one's a madras and I forget what the other one is - but we just look for the lowest carb ones and have them with cauli 'rice'. When I have more time i'd like to try Tink's onion bhaji recipe.

Right, if you've got this far and you're still awake, you deserve a medal!:o :rotfl:

Have a great day everyone :wave:

Much love,
Sazzy xxxxxxx

P.S. My grinder has just arrived! Woo-hoo!! :j

I've done 16hrs overtime this week. Add in the fact its a 4hr commute it's been a tough week. I was working until 1:45am yesterday and then went to bed and got up at 6am!!

I've had to drag poor saz out early and make her wait in her office or pub until I can leave since we go in my car. Feel bad for putting her through this....and it would be on a freezing week. I am very lucky to have her.

Anyway the worst of it is over and I have suceeded in what I've had to do. A nice weekend with my love lies ahead.

It's been so tempting to grab quick (high carb) food during all this. But they can take away my time and strength but they are not killing my diet grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Trouble is I haven't had the time to drink the water - you wouldn't beleve how fraught t's been at work. Also I haven't had lunch for the last 3 days.
This hasn't helped diet - in fact I am a pound up since monday and at one point was 3lb up. It will be the lack of water causing it.

Anyway, v tired so going off to chill.
Take care and take care what you eat.

Awww Gilly its so lovely that you and Sazzy are so loved up:j

Hubby works long hours like you do and finds that the more hours he works the less food he wants to eat!

Went out to a Halloween Event at the local Park last night and it was soooo flaming cold we had to bring the kids home before the fireworks went off:mad:

I was so busy yesterday I only managed to eat some tuna,cheese and cherry tomatoes at lunch.I'm going to try making fajitas tonight but using a thin egg omelette as the wrap IYWIM.Will let you know how it goes

My scales have been broken for 3 weeks so I had hoped for a massive drop in weight when I weighed myself. Sadly only 0.8kg, but at least it's in the right direction I suppose.
