Morning peeps. Hope you're all enjoyinhg the sunshine - how come you all get to be outside? Don't you have jobs to go to? Or are you all outdoor workers (in which case how come you're always on here?).

I'm at home almost 24/7 as a carer (my eldest son has various disabilities) so I don't work. I try to drag my sorry @ss out for walks to get some exercise and break the monotony.

Oh and it's dull and miserable here btw, no sun for us.

Sarah, sounds like you're doing really well on this diet, well done. :T

Walnuts in burgers are nice though I've only had them in veggie burgers.

Unfortunately i am only part time, looking for more hours but none available atm

I could change depts maybe, but actually like the one i'm on, even though it was a struggle at first and i nearly packed it in, i persevered and am glad.

Love walnuts, especially in cakes, dont fancy them in burgers though.

I'm a mature student Or at least I will be when my OU stuff arrives!! :rotfl:

Not rubbing it in, honest, but the walk along the beach was fantastic, just the right amount of seaweed smell iykwim?! Lovely day here, not too warm & not too cold (I don't do extreme temperatures ) Loads of people about though (most of whom seemed to be eating fish & chips or icecreams :drool:), could have done with being on a deserted beach on the West coast of Scotland instead *sigh*

Bought some fish from M&S (we can actually buy it off fishing boats straight from the sea here but I never do, they still have eyes!!) anyway, got 2 packs of lemon sole & 1 pack of salmon on offer '3 packs for £10'. Got their watercress sauce to go with the salmon, more low-carb than low-gi but it's so lush I couldn't resist.

Ok, I'm just waffling now Better go & chase up this OU stuff.

Afternoon peeps - good to read all about your lives/struggles/successes!

I'm back on the road to wellness.. and back to work soon too. :j

Tonight I'm concocting a salady type thing: boiled egg, very crispy bacon, salad leaves, yellow pepper, rather old tomatoes,coleslaw and some lovely crunchy tasty radishes. Nothing too exciting but really tasty.

Fingers crossed for you all.

It's all that 'shaking my thang' exercise I do with the stereo on and the hoover in my hand. Shakira eat your heart out girl!

All that practice means I shimmy when I walk........men magnet me. :rotfl:

Didn't do my cooking, went out for a mosey round the shops instead

Bought a nice Jeff Banks linen shirt.. ok, so it's a mans one, but it is coral and i happen to like masculine clothes on women........... hmm, wonder if thats why i'm not getting any action, maybe i look like a fat bloke in make up :rotfl:

So, i may or i may not make my pasta sauce this evening (before the tomatoes go off) i have yet to do my 15mins on crosstrainer, but i did do it Mon and Tue :j

Have been quite good foodwise, did have a bite of crusty bread, but came to my senses in time, by tomorrow things should be easier.
Still got lots of soup in the freezer from last time, had one today and was lovely

Going up my nieces again tomorrow, so wont be here til the evening.

Hi everybody,

Thanks for the warm welcome, just a quick update. Had an ok weekend, went on a date at the weekend and I didn't want him to think I had food issues (besides the visible ones!) so ate normally.

This week has mostly been me eating lots of egg whites, turkey bacon for brekkie and chicken salad for tea. I'm going to try and find these shiritaki noodles though cos I'm really missing pasta. Has anyone tried them?

You could try dreamfields pasta, its lc, but does raise some folks blood sugars i believe, lowcarbmegastore sells it.
Not tried the noodles, i have bolognaise over ribboned courgette which is lovely

Sorry Chika, I couldn't find your other post - can I just ask tho why you're having egg whites and turkey bacon on a low-carb diet? - too much protein and not a lot else is rather dangerous and unhealthy. You need natural fats for energy and a 'million' other bodily processes.
