Alpaca's stream of consciousness - IS BACK ON THE WAGON!

[Kat1e]

Morning Di, dont be hard on yourself it's been quite a week with meals and parties and you are managing really well. Look how far you have come, just have a relatively legal and relaxed christmas and you'll be all set for jan. i also agree that body has some set limits - really noticed it about 100kg and at 90kg - body thought that was a stopping point!

Have a fabulous christmas and looking forward to our next meet up in jan

A Cunning Christmas Plan...

I've just had lunch at friend's ... Gammon ham beautifully cooked with sprouts, cauliflower cheese and cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon... Felt stuffed!

My plan is to just take my foot off the spartan approach to Atkins by having double cream rather than single which I have now, and re-introducing butter and pork scratchings ... Only for the next 9 days and then back to induction again...

The reason being that I might as well get some treats over this festive season and I don't want to go completely off plan - just ease up a little... So, I'll have a MiM maybe with cocoa and cream and also a sf jelly with cream during the week... I know I'll gain weight because my body just does it for any reason - but I won't feel too guilty and will have eaten lots of lovely Atkins low carb treats...

What do you all reckon?

 

[ladyfelsham]

I think that sounds like a really good plan - you get to feel like you're having treats - but also it might shake your bod out of its starvation mode (well, you never know!). I think when we eat the same way for a few months, the body just hangs on to what it has...iyswim?

Lunch sounded lovely!

mm i love gammon!! i think u may be surprised by eating a little more..espec eating more fat, less hungry and sometimes it leads to a whoosh!! merry christmas when it comes di xx

Morning!

Just had bubble an squeak - Brussels, cauliflower, garlic, ham, one cocktail sausage wrapped in bacon and a egg sploshed through it ... My friend's gave me the left overs from yesterday as they're fling off to SA tomorrow for 2 weeks ... It was very yummy and I'm stuffed!

Busy day! Just been to work to collect presents, wine, turkey etc that I've been putting safely there as I have no room at home ... Then filled car up with petrol... Then tried to collect package from sorting office ... Queue was snaking out the door - waited over half an hour!... Hideous place and then the guy said he'd returned it - after only one week!! They are a joke'

Now I'm off to Oxford St! Wish me luck! Lol

 

[ladyfelsham]

Good luck, I really hope it's not too mad!

Sorry your sorting office experience wasn't great - mine was lovely, they were playing carols, were really chipper and I even got wished a merry Christmas.

 

[Kat1e]

Morning Di, sounds like a crazy day. Bummer on the sorting office - grrrr
I hope your oxford street visit not too awful
And then it's time to relax......

Ok... Jim please cover your eyes... I'm writing this in the bath before going to the parents of my son's g/f for pre-Chrimbo supper dahlinks! Lol ... They're a bit posh and have posh wine so I shall be a bit sozzled I hope!

I've eaten two lots of bubble and squeaks today ... Is it b&s if there isn't any potatoes or onions??? Lol ... Really yummy and I feel I'm going to town on the carbs!!! Eeek!

I've got do much energy - I've been darting around like a 2 yr old today - unbelievable difference from how I was last Chrimbo when I just had no energy!

I shall do my sf jelly in the morning after the turkey, cheeses, and Chrimbo stuff comes out of the fridge ... I know I'm a sad old git but I think the high light of my dinner tomorrow will be jelly and cream lol

Will update you later when I get back home... They have a lovely cat and dog... Cat is Siamese and the dog is the same one that features at the start of the Keira Knightley version of Pride & Pred... It might be an elk hound or something like that... They are gorge ! Lol

 

[Quak]

Sounds like a lovely evening, hope you enjoy the posh wine and get a little sozzled, always a nice feeling xxx Merry Christmas Di - lots of love xxx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Have a fabulous Christmas babes.xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

I know I'm a sad old git but I think the high light of my dinner tomorrow will be jelly and cream lol

Sounds good to me, what time shall I come round? LOL

the dog is the same one that features at the start of the Keira Knightley version of Pride & Pred

Hmmmm dog...Keira Knightley...how can one tell the difference? Can't stand her myself, a good clothes horse does not an actress make, especially when it ruins an otherwise good (beloved) Austen adaptation.

Still, nothing beats the Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth series - which I have on DVD - in fact, might have to watch the diving in pond/"Mr Darcy!" episode tonight, happy days

Evening all... Just having a breather! It's been none stop! Lol hope you're all having a good time! xx

It's official!! I am in LOVE with Atkins!!!!

No weight gain today even though I ate like a rhinoceros yesterday! I couldn't even have more than a few spoons of my sf jelly!!! Whoooop!!

I was up to 45g of carbs yesterday

 

[ladyfelsham]

Great news, Di - sounds like the "outsmart my body" trick is working!

 

[Quak]

I wish I could say the same Di, but I haven't even tried to be good lol - you are so in the zone, long may it continue for you xxxx

 

[Dietkitty]

I haven't tried either. But that's been the case for months now lol.
