Yesterday ended up eating -

B. Coffee with cream n sweetner 0.5
D. Lettuce, cucumber, mayo, 2 hard boiled eggs n grated cheddar 5
S. 150g strawberries 9
S. Coffee with milk n sugar (!) (person that made it for me forgot i asked for sweetner n i didn't realise till almost finished it!) 5
T. Chicken kebab with chicken breast, cabbage n lettuce n garlic mayo 4
S. Coffee with milk 1

Blimey. Wouldn't be too bad without the tsp of sugar in coffee episode (4g carb per tsp sugar!!!)

19.5 if i'd not had that damn coffee

Real n honest total 24.5 lol..

No idea for food today, not got anything left in the fridge so need to go out. Will hopefully manage to get to the market tomorrow as i'm now on days off till monday so should be able to pick up some vegs nice n cheaply.

[Lady Marmalade]

Oof, hard luck about the sugar. That's really unfair because you'd done so well to manage 16+ hours away from your own kitchen. Hope it wasn't enough to knock you out of K...

 

[Jim]

Hi Claire, drink plenty of water and that should offset the sugar love.

 

[British_Claire_84]

It was actually quite funny later on cos after i'd found out sugar was 4g per tsp and moaned at the lass that made me brew about 4g being a lot when only having 20g a day, when i later had a chicken kebab with mayo she was gobsmacked!! She said, how on earth can you be so gutted about a tsp of sugar when you've just had all that fat!! LOL. I just laughed back at her n said ah fat's alright.. She was lost for words n said, don't explain as i won't getcha lol.. I laughed.

Not too fussed about it really, yesterday could have been so much worse. Just carrying on like normal today.

I'm intending on doing

Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes

But taking out the carrot n tomato sauce parts. Also not sure if i can be arsed to go out to the supermarket as means getting the car out so may not have the xantham by then.. It'll be slightly adjusted but sounds yummy.

There's a possibility i may be out for a drink or two with some of the pcso's from work either tonight or tomorrow too.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Aww that's a shame Laura, celeriac is yummy.. It's easy to decide when there's only me i'm cooking for but a pain the ass having to cook AND wash up! lol.. Just as many pots as there would be for more people, the only extras are the plates used.

It's my mums bday next thurs, i'm on a firearms course up at hq so can't really plan much for the day but i've offered to cook a meal for her n dad to come round on the sat night. Need to start the planning early i think so i don't come up short. May have a look at the rest of the low carb recipes on that website and then maybe add in some carbie stuff for bro, mum n dad..

 

[Jim]

This is where the confessions start.... :break_diet:

Went out n got absolutely trashed! Drank 4 large glasses of rose wine and then a double bacardi n diet coke. Not much at all for me but i was totally wrecked. Not pleasant. I staggered home once my homing beacon clicked on but fell off a kerb on the walk back! So i've twisted my ankle which is steadily going a nice shade of purple, bruised my hip, got a whacking graze on my knee which is all ooozy. I also had a bit of an accident whilst shaving me leggies, somehow managed to slice through my middle finger nail and down through the nailbed!! There was blood all over the shower and i was left looking a right wally trying to find a plaster quickly! Then i put a chocolate face mask on which was all tingly so i thought, ooo it's working. Took it off ten mins later and it'd kind of burnt my face leaving a red ring round the edge of my face and eyeholes! So all in all i've had a pretty crappy few hours. Oh n to cap it all off i spent ages talking to the big telephone (loo) when i got home finally. I have never been or felt soooo ill. Next time i have a few drinks i will for sure be having more carbs!

Managed to hobble round to mum n dads house who took pity on me and let me stay for sunday dinner. That's when the next confession comes in I had potatoes with dinner, milk in coffee and a smidgen of pudding! LOL. Yes i know, naughty. Felt as though i needed it though and i do feel much better now though i hurt pretty much EVERYWHERE!!

Today -

D. Coffee with milk 1
Roast chicken, one leg, two slices of breast 0
Gravy 3
Two potatoes 56
Brocolli 1
Cabbage 1
Asparagus 1.5
Rhubarb pie with a dribble of custard - no idea on carbs but no doubt billions!! Only about three mouthfuls though. Not that that justifies it! :sigh:

Weighed myself this morning and after talking to the big telephone last night i'd lost about 5lbs since last mondays wi. No doubt that will reduce considerably after todays debauchery! Ah well. These things happen don't they.

 

[Wrinkly]

Oh Claire, I am so sorry but I had to laugh! You don't believe in doing things by halves do you... Is thorough you middle name perchance?? I know you must feel 'orrible but I must confess you've made me feel a whole lot better!! :8855:
I will I promise, try to be more sympathetic tomorrow....

 

[British_Claire_84]

Haha, nah don't worry bout it Wrinkly. It is actually quite funny! Thankfully i don't feel too bad anymore, mums sunday dinner did me the power of good. I just hurt everywhere! Injuries as follows -

Middle finger on left hand - nail n nailbed cut n flapping about
Face sore though as gone down now
Bruised bridge of nose from headbutting the loo seat
Twisted right ankle which is getting more n more colourful
Left knee scraped to shreds n oozing
Big bruise just starting to come out on right hip
Graze to right elbow LOL. Not good!

Pleased i cheered you up though Wrinkly. I aim to please. And yes, you are dead right, i do not do things by half!! In fact that's my motto! All or nothing..

 

[Wrinkly]

Oh I'm sorry hon,' you must be sore all over, aching in every limb. I hope you have a good nights sleeps.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Yep you've got it Wrinkly Am currently laying on me sofa with me bad foot up on two cushions to elevate it. My scabby knee is sore as whenever i bend it it re-oozes. Gutted really as wanted to hit the gym tomorrow and also means no specialling till i'm mended. Am due out on duty next sunday so hopefully i'll be mended by then. Thanks for the sympathy Wrinkly

 

[Jim]

LMAO!! oh dear the perils of drinking and Atkins. :giggle:
