Good morning everyone, day 12 for me.
Menu for today:
B - fresh rasps/blueberries with double cream - yum yum!!
L - leftover chicken with salad
D - Chilli
[strike]Might[/strike] will sneak a couple of pork medallions in mid-morning
Pud - maybe rasps/blues with double cream again?
Snacks - salted peanuts & maybe some cubes of cheese
As it's Friday I'm going to have some red wine tonight as a treat - can't wait!!
Just wanted to say this thread is definitely keeping me going - it's great that there are people out there in the same boat as me & we are sharing our ups & downs, giving tips etc. I feel like I can definitely do this!!:D
Ps - my jeans are definitely looser, will invest in a belt next week, don't think I'm quite ready for the next size down just yet, but hopefully not too long!!
Happy days!!:rotfl:

Hellooo lovelies :hello:

Before I say anything else: Thank goodness it's friiidaaay!!!! :j

Well that was a carp week, I don't mind telling you. I should have known, when it started with having to work from home last weekend that it would be all down hill from there lol and it was:rolleyes: Anyway, just gotta get through today.

Rainbow - i started low carbing last summer. It's not exactly been a quick fix for me - started at 10 stone 8, got down to 9 stone 7 at the beginnning of December, put 4 pounds on again over xmas and still trying to get that off:rolleyes: I'm just under 5 ft.

So to everyone who's struggling with motivation at the moment - I know what that's like! Work was really stressful this week and all I wanted to do was stuff myself with carby rubbish 24/7, and although I've not done that, I've not been totally good either.... but we 've just got to try and keep going haven't we

b - flax bread, sausage
l - usual salad and meat and cheese combo
d - prob asda's pork shank ready meal with some sliced green beans

Oh shykins - I keep forgetting - we finally tracked down that "crustless quiche" in Asda - but somewhat bizarrely, Asda's idea of "crustless" means no pasty around the sides, just on the base! :rotfl: And it was quite pricey for a very small quiche - so if I were you, I really wouldnt bother xx

Sue when you off to barcelona? Lucky you:)

Have a good friday everyone :wave: Wanna look into making my own paneer at the weekend... gosh I lead such a exciting life:D :rotfl:

Much love to all,
Sazzy xxxxxxxxx

Hi all, yeah, I was wondering where Ted was too! If it wasn't for his other thread on exercise I wouldn't have discovered all this new stuff about fat/protein being good, carbs bad and I wouldn't have found you lot! Always thought Atkins/low carb was about eating loadsa artery clogging, heart attack inducing fast food, cheese, butter etc. I thought whole grains were the way to go.
It's weird cos I'm still getting used to it (it's only day 5 I s'pose), automatically still bn buying skimmed milk, for instance. I had fried breakfast today for the 1st time in years and I felt a bit sick seeing all that fat but I guess if you've breakfasted on cereal for years you can expect a bit of an "adaption phase"! Just reminded myself of all that I've read (also I will eventually get round to getting G. Taubes' book but I've heard it's a biggy and I'm not gonna have time to read anything other than work-related stuff for a while!)
Anyhow, BIG RELIEF as boyfriend not bn made redundant. Phew. Friends coming and staying overnight as I graduate tomorrow, therefore, I'm off to try Mercy's choc biscuits now! Will report back after taste test.

Well I had scrambled eggs (3 eggs!) and fried mushrooms this morning... had an excellent interview and treated myself to a small cornish pasty and some "turkey" slices on the way home (I should hear about the job by the end of the day :eek:).

Dinner tonight is going to be a meal with the lodgers at a Si Chaun (Chinese) restaurant just outside of town - they do fresh sushi amongst other things, so should be an experience...

pillypilla

Badger lady- Good luck Let us know either way......

Mercy- Different but yummy biscuits. Made banana cake full of sugar and flour for friends. Will have virtuous pilly snacks instead :A . Making a Paleo roast dinner later as tomorrow it'll be all to hell!! :j

shykins

yes badger u MUST let us know when u hear

pilly glad to hear about b/f... a lot of people think atkins is just meat and fat they are quite surprised when they hear how much veg etc we eat..... congrats on yr graduation can we ask what in?

HC.. i wouldnt worry how much veg u had we can have 1 cup and 2 of salad and i am sure u didnt overdo it,as a rule i never measure my veg/salad on induction

alias hope u like yr magic bullet as much as i do mine, clever little thing lol... are u hormonal if yr tum looks bigger?

sweet...yaay on the jeans bein looser u will soon be down a size

sue... just eat the salad tell them u cant eat white flour at the moment as u think its affecting u in some way or be brave and tell them u are lowcarbing!!... i went to barcelona year before last amazing place to walk round, beware the dunkin donuts tho lol

saz sorry u had a crappy week but TGIF so u can relax a little.. lol at the crustless quiche still having a crust i feared that may be the case, will stick with making our own it seems

well i had a good MSE morning. loads of 10p stuff in superdrug then was chatting to a health club guy and the beautician lady gave me a bag with a £5 off voucher and loads of samples in!!! not sure the costa and the T bone steak was MSE mind lol
