Happy Birthday Gaye - hope you're having a great time.:j

Well first day of being back on the low carb wagon was OK, craved peanuts about 9pm last night but didn't give in. Also went for a run/walk on the treadmill whilst watching Corrie last night so felt very proud of myself.

Today,
B - fried egg and tomatoes
L - soya mince bolognaisey type thing plus large green salad with mayo
D - hmmm poss spicey chicken wings plus salad or cheesey leeks
Got some nice cottage cheese with cheddar for snacks with celery sticks if I get evening munchies....which I always do:rotfl:

The boyfriend bought wine. It's pink fizz, and it's lovely. :beer: hic!
I'm so pleased you meant mango, focus. I did wonder for a moment!

Tomorrow's menu plan:

B - sliced beef rolled up with philly cheese
L - tuna salad
D - chicken cacciatore

Hello!

Been v good again except for some nutty dark choc last night.

knowsley - you don't need to worry about taking flax oil, it'd not the best source of omega 3 but it's not actually bad at all. Here's a few lists of omega 3 : omega 6 ratios in different foods.

This one gives info on research

avstar and skintscotslass - it's amazing how much easier it is in the 3 months after 40 than the 3 months before :rotfl: Trust me on this, I did it last July

marrow - only you and yours can name your cat, only you know him I like Greebo, but mine are called Newton and Sherlock. Mate called hers Fatboy Knew one called Monkey. Guy at work called his Scruff. Personally, I choose names I don't mind calling when I want em in :rotfl:

focus - SOOOO glad that was mango

Can only be here a short while as Flight of the Conchords is on at 10.30 and wana shower first

Will try harder to get on comp!

Big love

You can, from lowcarbmegastore.com, they are rather thin, and not very syrupy, but are good for flavouring things and i think are meant for sweetening/ flavouring coffee.
I got lime, cherry and caramel, the cherry is gorgeous, the caramel and lime are not as nice, i have read that the egg nog is nice too.

If you are ordering you may as well get some dreamfields pasta as its like real pasta and the p&p will be the same, also you could get the gluten flour and give my bread recipe a go

p.s. sorry for frittering your money away

I knew I should have looked at the wine when I was in there today!! Was trying to keep to budget so thought I'd wait until Friday (I knew I'd drink it before the weekend if I bought some today )

Having said that, you have just reminded me that I do still have some of the M&S offer wine in the cupboard, might just go & sneak a glass before bed ........
