Bonjour cherie! Oh how I wish I was coming with you, my holiday seems like ages ago now
Have a wonderful time (although it sounds as if you will need to take some marmite with you, got a taste for it at the moment? lol) and in the meantime I'll start a London get together thread.

Evening lovely lovely folk ... I'm in the bath and have packed ... Another day from hell - 3 redundancies and a re-structure
Anyway now have 4 days off ... Eurostar train in the morning at 7... Then change at Paris for train to Angouleme ...
Had an amazing breakfast this morning - grilled bacon and 2 poached eggs and soya milk latte - so yummy!!
Still been losing the blubber I recently put on but still not back yet but not too fussed - I'm finding focus on the days I'm not away and that's fine ... Next week I don't plan on going anywhere so it will be easier xx

I love poached eggs - I have some tea bag things you can poach them in and still can't really do them well so mainly rely on others cooking them for me.
Eeee off to France you lucky duck. Have a safe and wonderful trip xxx

Just managed to get the wifi to work in the middle of nowhere in the Dordogne - stunning place, fabulous weather - 25 degrees today.
Eat like a water buffalo (not sure if that's the correct analogy but it'll do) ... but, that's fine cos will be clean and green from Tuesday when I'm back in London.
I started to read the early Atkins book again last week - it is SO different from the new one and seems to suit me better - I need a tough plan to follow otherwise I end up like an amoeba and just flop around the place and the early book is much tougher - hardly any veg in the first couple of weeks - mostly salad but plenty of protein, eggs and 4oz of cheese a day - not as much cream as I thought at only 3 teaspoons. That's roughly what I followed last week for 3 days before I left for France and I lost 8lbs. I'm likely to put it all back on this weekend - lots of croissants and pinot charente - a local aperitif mid way between a sweet sherry and wine - really delicious - like drinking alcoholic ribena!! lol
Anyway, will go straight back onto induction and I feel very relaxed about it. Am walking a lot which is excellent and the stunning countryside makes it such a pleasure!!!
Hope everyone has been good? xx

Sounds fabulous sweetie - sip to your heart's content
The walks sounds great too - why does a walk in the French countryside sound so much better than a stroll through a London park....

I'm with you, I like a plan where I know exactly what I'm allowed and what I'm not - even when I'm not eating at induction. I can hear how motivated you are to get back to it and reading the book can only help strengthen resolve.
(if I went to France I would leap off plan and eat every croissant in existence so I am very glad you don't feel bad about that! I would eat like an entire herd of water buffalo and their mums. Still jealous!)
