L- salmon with tuna & smoked mackeral pate, raspberry mousse
D- chicken breast & cottage cheese
S- muffin & ff greek yohurt

 

[trudyc]

Thought it may contain quark - will try that tomorrow first off without the tuna and then see!!! Tuna not my favourite! Sounds like you had another productive day,we need to get our fields topped but our chap soooo busy doing loads of other jobs atm so we will see! Our one hay field looking good so I think it will be okay but some of the others in a bit of a mess!! We don't need much hay ourselves this year so will sell it locally I think - not used that much from last year yet and the barn looking pretty full!! Nearly finished the rubbish shavings that we have - can't wait to order the new batch!!! Looks like you are right back on track Ellie, can't wait to see what the scales say on Sat. x

im banging my head agaisnt a wall this morning grrrr..... started moving over my website to the new server as the old one is shutting down shortly.... spent hours moving the content of 2 pages over and it blooming crashed and lost everything. one of thos jobs you wished you had never started... or maybe should have started ages ago when they first informed me lol bugger it im off outside lol

 

[sididd]

Yeah get yourself outside its lovely hear lol I must be doing one of the most boaring jobs ever, weeding between the block paving on the patio......it will never be funished; -)

 

[ellie1969]

i did that at the start of the week lol.... looks great now its done

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Isle of Lewis = Horrible weather. Really cold wind. I should be packing belongings to take to glasgow but now the laptop is back I'm going to drink coffee and read minimins instead .

 

[ellie1969]

sounds like a plan to me CD

 

[trudyc]

How flippin annoying when you did all that work!!! Hope you got outside and had a lovely day otherwise!!! How was it food wise - all good I hope!!! WI tomorrow - hope your good week is rewarded! Any good plans for the weekend??? I have soooo much to do and really haven't started any jobs yet!!! LOL! Gonna be rushed off my feet next week - oh well may have a great weight loss to show for it after all the running around! Just hope I can stay strong and not eat all the naughty food that I gonna be preparing for everyone else. Normally we have biscuits on offer all day for our guests but I said we are not doing that this year - mainly cos lots of them have children and they are always dipping in but really it just stops me dipping in when I am exhausted and feel the need for a boost - never manage to resist them and it annoys me sooooo much - just tea, coffee and juice!!! Now I just have to avoid the fresh baked bread every day, the cheese and biscuits, the mulled cider, the choccy eggs, the potato salad etc, etc, etc!!! HATE doing the catering when I can't eat most of it!!! But I can do it - have resisted soooooo much since starting Dukan this should be another doodle - only possible downfall will be due to being exhausted as we start at five to get the horses worked before the Clinic begins each day - just did the show entries for Easter Monday - setting us up for lots of work - three horses driving, five riding so eight to get into the ring in the space of four hours - no problem -LOLOLOL! Must be mad!! x

 

[ellie1969]

friday PP
B- 2 passion fruit muffins & passion fruit quark topping
L- 2 egg omelette & the remaining tuna & smoke mackeral pate

[sididd]

[CHRISR]

[ellie1969]

im not worrying about it as i dont feel fatter LOL it will come back off next week ... either that or ill keep going up lol

 

[ellie1969]

well I was right... TOTM snuck up on me early and started today...wasnt due till wednesday. will hop on the scales tommorrow or monday & see what they say had a good food day again and pulled out one of my freezer surprises for lunch which turned out to be bolognese yum yum. been and done the shopping for the week and was going to make yoghurt this afternoon but didnt have quite enough time so will put it on in the morning. Made a yummy venison sausage casserole for dinner..... havent let the gain get me down this time... im staying on track as i want to get at least within 3lbs of my target by the date dr dukan gave me... would have been there if i had stuck to it lol

saturday PV
B- 2 cinnamon Goji berry muffins, vanilla quark icing
L- bolognese , ff greek yoghurt rhubarb & cinnamon
D- venison sausage casserole (3 sausages, onion, mushrooms gravy from stock it was cooked in) swede & carrot mash

[trudyc]

Ahhhh it will disappear in no time Ellie - TOTM will be the reason as you have had a good week........... Just some water weight. Keep strong (you sound like you have it sorted! ) and continue eating lovely Dukan food . Hope the neds all good..... Any lovely plans for the weekend? x

 

[ellie1969]

got a fencer coming in to quote tommorrow but apart from that no plans. Hubby brought the horses in this morning while i was getting showered and didnt bother with the chain on the wee one and said she was fine with just the rope ..... might bit her tommorrow so i can have a play with her later in the week to see if i can get trotting in hand as at the moment shes kinda getting dragged behind us LOL... one extreme to the other haha

was hoping the forums would be busier to keep me away from the fridge hmmmmmm might go back to the website and do anouther couple of pages

 

[ellie1969]

back down a lbs this morning so TOTM was to blame i think....must drink more water but its went so cold again and due heavy snow tommorrow & tuesday here wish the weather would make its mind up... sunburn in march then frostbite in april ..... fencer due in an hour... hubby gonna do a bit of the fence painting.... im gonna finish the housework.. kitchen, utility room bathroom & porch to do today

 

[trudyc]

Ohhhh an exciting day!!! Will be great to get more fencing done. Glad the scales are shifting in the right direction - TOTM defo the culprit - I am feeling fatter this morning too and really grumpy - everyone better watch out!!! Hoping a large coffee will sort me out!! My back is playing up again - physio said it is the shift in my balance since losing weight which makes sense - will have to book an appointment if it doesn't get better in a day or so as have a pretty busy weekend coming up!! Hope the sun is out up there, it is lovely down here this morning but the frost on the car was pretty dense so cold too!! Have a good one Ellie - turn the music up loud and get moving and grooving! LOL!

 

[ellie1969]

have done the kitchen and thats it LOL... pot of soup on the rayburn bubbling away for hubbys lunches and he wanted a batch of scones made... just got them in the oven and he sodded off biking ... so now they are cooling and the smells wafting round the kitchen grrrr.... i will stay strong lol. TOTM is really making me feel low today... the pain in my bad leg is unreal and its so swollen been trying to keep busy and have been filling in the stud/show diary... cant remember what day the blacksmith said this week... that will teach me to mark it in right away lol.... i thought he said wednesday the 3rd... but tuesdays the 3rd....oh well ....will go out tomorrow to do the post and see if the nearest asda has tofu... doubt it as its teeny. will aslo go to B&Q and get some veg seeds etc unless im snowed in of course lol

 

[trudyc]

Hope your not snowed in!!! Well if your leg is all swollen that won't be helping the scales either! Hope you feel better. I am still a bit grumpy and liable to bite someones head off if they look at me the wrong way!!! Should be happy, happy as day off tomorrow AND the sun is shining! Don't think I will waste two packs of tofu on the cake again - much prefer the tofu creme but you do live and learn and it might be someone elses cup of tea. Ran out of muller light vanilla yesterday and couldn't get another one from the local shop which was the only stop I could make as had a horse in the box so made my muffins with strawberry muller light as no natural yoghurt to be had other than full fat - do we think this is a crime in terms of dukan??? ARGHHHHHHHH! Hope not as WI tomorrow!
