Morning All!

Not been about as had two very busy days.

sweets - good to see that meal plan, it really makes a difference to sticking with it, good luck honey!

Can't remember all what I ate over the weekend, (lots of bacon and eggs / cream cheese and salad) but know the only bad things had alcohol in them.

Yesterday
keto cocktail and supplements
B - boiled egg, cheese
snack - sml pork scratchins
L - tukey thigh in butter and herbs, salad
D - rest of turkey and asparagus in butter
some sliced ham later

Will probably have similar today. Will post tomorrow.

Manky weather here, not opening the blinds over my desk today

Have a good one!

Oh, yes. The good thing about having eclectic taste in men is that there's generally less competition

My new avvy is rather like me scrubbed up on a good day

Weather manky here too..

Feel like going for a bit of a jaunt but really need to be painting.
Cant ever get motivated these days.

Got dirty washing everywhere cos when their mates are coming over, they throw all the collected dirty clothes onto the laundry bin (please note.. onto, not into )
so got that to see to as well. Ho hum.. Good job i didnt get the full time position.

Good morning all :hello:

I managed to get through my first day back low-carbing without a blip!! Phew!! :rolleyes:

Now, bearing in mind I was hungry this morning, this is my menu for today

B - pork escalope, 3 pork chipolata sausages, 1 fried egg
L - Salmon salad (as yesterday)
D - Fajita chicken

Will also be having some strawberries & cream after dinner

mazzers, is that Wally?? I wondered where he was!! :rotfl:

The only reason I'm having the Patak's curry is that there's half a jar in the fridge & it needs using up, trying to include a bit of MSE in my low-carb lifestyle Will look at doing the butter chicken next time though as I do love a curry!!

Badger, I noticed Mr. T had some Quorn pieces on offer yesterday, think they had other Quorn stuff cheaper as well.

Mercy, thanks for your 'good luck' - I think I may need it but hopefully my meal planning will see me through!!

Btw, what's tukey thigh?! That's a new one on me!! :rotfl:

And at the risk of alias jumping in before me, where are you this morning??

Have a good day everyone. Twas grey looking outside earlier but the sun has come out so I'm off to put some washing in. :wave:

Sweet, tesco do a value turkey thigh for about £1.30, i started buying them for the cat when she was ill, they look a bit mingin in the wrapper but there's loads of meat on them.
My youngest allways had his beady eye on it when it came out of the oven:rotfl:

BTW, didnt realise it was Wally, was just looking for someone showing their fist :rotfl:

If (or should that be when?) I get back to my old shape (32-24-34) would I then be a 6 rather than the 10 I was?

Yep! I have had some ebay disasters because of the changing sizes. In my head my "proper" natural skinny size is size 12 - I never really managed to get down into size 10s (well not trousers anyway!). It's bizarre to say that I am size 8, which I am in modern Fat Face, rather than a 12 and it actually feels a bit like cheating as I know that I am back to where I was in my early twenties but still not as slim as I was as a teenager.

The size I need is totally different depending on which brand and how new the clothes are, although there does seem to be some variation even within one shop depending on whether the style is baggy/body hugging. I have some old size 14s from the loft which fit the same as some new (ebay new!) 8/10s. I have also noticed that regular length trousers are now much longer than regular used to be.

I spotted the size anomaly when my trousers of truth fitted me perfectly and I know when i bought them in 1992/3 they were size 13s (levi 31 waist) but when i went shopping for new jeans in matalan i bought one pair in size 10 and one in size 8. (I didn't even consider picking up the size 8s to take to the dressing room and i was nervous about taking size 10s as well as 12s to try on in case it jinxed it....). I know the jeans are more snugly fitting than i wore back then (mid life crisis? making the most of the chance to wear them tighter? more confidence?) but even so....... I didn't say anything at the time as someone was just celebrating buying size 14 trousers and I didn't want to spoil their joy!

nb Levis haven't changed their sizing (as they are 30x30 etc) but the number does seem to be the actual waistband measurement, not the natural waist measurement. (so a low rise 30 is much smaller than a high rise 30 if you see what i mean)
