Becky's Diary : This time next year.........................

[Dukanista]

I was just thinking the same yesterday, as I licked the quark tub clean before throwing it out... Said to myself 'you are addicted to something called quark..is that normal?''

 

[xeilidhx]

I made cream of chicken soup yesterday and hubby said 'oh thats clever how did you do it?'. chicken breast, some chooped onions, chicken stock, 0% greek yogurt and quark. He said 'is there anything with no quark in, can you imagine if you woke up and the newspaper headlines reads 'carcinogen found in quark, if you had a tub a week you are at serios risk of cancer!' Seriously! imagine though!!

Anyways I woke up thinking today is a rest day but since I have done the walk and the DVD I suppose it isn't, gotta do the butt lifts later!

Food plan for today: Day 42 PP
Breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs and toast

Lunch:
turkey burgers
cream of chicken soup
muller fat free raspberry and cranberry yogurt

Dinner:
Roast chicken breast

Fluid intake
1.5l water

Can you give more details on the soup?! X

Can you give more details on the soup?! X

Because I am a self 'crowned cook' I don't measure things when I cook and this was my first take at this so you may have to tweak this a little!
1 chicken breast, 1/2 chopped onion, fry light, 1 chicken stock cube dissolved in 1l boiling water, 2 tbsp 0% greek yogurt, 1/2 tub of quark
Fry onion in fry lite but do not let brown.
Add chopped breast and fry until sealed (care not to brown)
Pour in the stock and simmer until liquid is reduced and the chicken is cooked ( you should be able to break the chicken if you press it to the side of the pan with the cooking stick)
Let cool, then blitz until smooth. Add the yogurt and quark (you might try extra light philly, it might make it creamier!) and mix until smooth. (if you know of any 2% cream you can add it in, but I suppose thats dreaming!)
Enjoy!

PS if you store this soup be careful when you warm it, if you boil the yogurt will separate and it will look, well very unappetising!

So since I did not succeed in getting a break from exercise yesterday, I thought i would have it today. I woke up and went to make sandwiches for hubby's packed lunch then realised that there was no bread in the house. I thought I might as well walk to asda and buy it. So i ended up walking for an hour and a half to and from asda. So much for a rest day!

Maybe you've just built up muscle sweetz?

Next week will be better

 

[Eccab77]

Ok, I havent given up on the diet, but I have given up on food! All I had today was a scrambled egg,2 slices of toast and a cup of coffee. I am tempted to weigh myself everyday this week to see when I actually lose something. What scares me is if I then gain along the way....arrrghhh :sigh::cry:Honestly this is how I feel, could have done with one of your shoulders!

 

[passionflower]

Bekka well done for not giving up, this journey is so tough at times but it pays to keep your head down and carry on. Almost every single person on this diet experience stalls and rough patches when the weight just doesn't want to budge, it will come good in the end I promise, good luck.
