** Claire's low carb blah blah chit chat gabbing **

[Alpaca]

Morning Claire... sorry to read that you're suffering tiredness all the time ... have you thought of looking at supplements? I am taking vit B each day and a good multi vit and vit D3... in fact I rattle when I move! lol

But, they have helped my energy levels big time!

Hey sweetie.

I take b6 n a good multivitamin with pre n pro biotics.

I think I've not been eating enough n regularly enough. Probably not enough water too. I think that'll have to be my mantra this week. Gonna aim for a min of two meals a day n more fluids. Got a strawberry protein shake from h+b yesterday so if I'm not that hungry or don't have time etc at least I can have something. I think it's possible that cos I've not been eating regularly enough when I do eat my body is storing it.

B. coffee n cream
D. Three small eggs scrambled properly in a saucepan with a good dollop of butter, two rashers bacon. Tea n soy.

Might try a protein shake.

Afternoon hun - I think that's a spot on comment about you maybe not eating enough - I noticed you had virtually nothing for dinner yesterday!

What about trying smaller sized regular meals and seeing if that suits you?

 

[British_Claire_84]

Hmm maybe you've hit on something there suze. Perhaps I should come out in sympathy for my grandma n do a little n often tactic. It's no excuse I know but such a pain going from different shift times to rest days etc. But I've never done the graze approach. So do u think I should try 1. Eat more overall, 2. Eat less but more often, 3. Up my water. Sounds like a sensible approach I reckon.

Kitty's still not getting outta bed lol

 

[ladyfelsham]

Ahhhh she looks very comfortable

Orbs is doing the same...

 

[British_Claire_84]

Piccies please!!

She's watching the polar bears on tele lol. N now pouncing on the red flowers on the duvet cover lol.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Nice duvet, by the way

 

[British_Claire_84]

Aww Orby is gorgeous, even if she is a naughty Orby today. Lol. Ta for piccies. I wanna stroke her

Duvet is a cheapy asda special lol. Quite chuffed how it vaguely matches the wallpaper behind the bed considering it was cheap.

Just having a strawberry protein shake - 1.8g carbs for two spoons in water. Not too bad. Maybe having these now n again will help with the new spreading things out regime. Also got another brew with soy.

Gonna have a look at an old cross-stitch this afternoon.

Claire, what shakes do you use. Mr E gets 'peckish' during the day for something sweet and I wondered whether the shakes that are fruity/chocolately would help him?

 

[British_Claire_84]

I got this one hun

Mixed with water it's 1.8g carbs. I'm sure some of the others use a lower version but dunno which it is.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Oven warming up for three small chicken drummers I'll roast for tea with celeriac mashed with butter, sprouts n broccoli with a lil gravy.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Scrap the chicken - nuked it on defrost in the micro for too long. So chucked it n put some pollock in the oven wrapped in tinfoil n drizzled with olly oil n herbs.

Anyone know a cheese sauce recipe??

 

[esellek]

have you got any cream that you can warm and add some cheese to it? No idea if it will work, just off the top of my head!

 

[British_Claire_84]

I've got a couple spoons cream left yep. Wondering if I can add grated cheddar, blob of mayo n stuff to it??

 

[esellek]

might work, don't come and hit me if it doesn't lol

 

[British_Claire_84]

Lol, more than my job's worth Hun
