Helloooo...

Yep started to keep a diary last week thought it would keep me motivated....

Whenever I do exercise I tend to put on weight....although once I stop it drops off me very odd.....I do need to go to the gym joined last month and only used it for two weeks regularly ....I need to sort it and go back next week maybe tomorrow if Incan get my backside in gear...lol

I work in the afternoons...so that was a bit of an excuse...tried celeriac chips last night and loved them.....I'm still loving Atkins the more I look round the more recipes I'm finding ....just made roast dinner made low carb stuffing and it was fab and also found recipe for ketchup tried it out on hubby he said it was better than Heinz. You are doing so well...so happy for you....

I went out Friday also lots and lots to drink vodka and champagne but stuck to plan food wise .....I was starving as the waiter was not forthcoming with the side orders of veg....terrible hangover yesterday but feeling much better today although still a bit tired lol....I find Atkins so easy to stick to ESP at weekends...u was so good to have only 1 Vodka ....and the scales are reflecting your determination....how old are your kids ?

I started taking a vitamin supplement today....drinking loads of water also.....I find that in so much more thirsty ....

Keep up the good work

Well I did the chicken garlic and mayo on thenrecioenread it was yummy and hubby and boys loved it....my middle one is hooked on mims lol....although I don't have them....I wanna try the cheese burger pie....to be honest I been so busy eating steak bacon and omelettes that I haven't tried loads but found a recipe for sticky coconut chicken that's sounds really nice ....I still got a mound of turkey left from Sunday so infancy making a turkey and spinach curry ....not sure if I got the ingredients in but fancy that tomorrow.....i adore celeriac chips ....but it's difficult to find....not in my local asda anyway....perhaps tesco or sainsburys .....hard to cut though lol

I have a Atkins bar that keeps screaming at me in the fridge .....but apparently they are full of nasties so trying to resist and on looking at the lab,e they are actually higher in carbs than what they say on the label,,,,

[honeytemple88]

good morning and were on day 12 of atkins yesterday wasnt a usual day for food stuck to atkins but felt instead of having 3 meals i was picken and had loads of little meals , i had 4 slices bacon for breakfast then had a packet of pork scratching and a peperoni while kids had mcdonalds got hom ham slice of ham with little salad and boiled egg and mayo , and later on in the everning i tryed doing a marange with splenda but came out more like a pancake anyway ate that with whipped cream and strawberries was nice bit eggy on some parts but lovely for my sweet tooth , but did do some exercise and some toning in the evening so today feeling alot beter.

my bateries have run out on my scales so im thinking about setting myself a little target of going a whole month yes 4weeks before buying batteries and weighting in i have a problem with weighting in everytime i see the scales and i no wid atkins the weight is going to slow down dramaticly so.... yes i will try 28 days with no weigh in i will still be taking measurements but no scale hoping for me until wed 5th sep x

ps just had my breakfast of asparagus with bacon never had asparagus before but was lush x

 

[honeytemple88]

well todays food consided of asparagus raped in bacon for breakfast i had roast chicken leg and 2 celeric roasted like potatos , dinner i had some minted lamb and mushrooms i havent had much veg today so will def going shopping and upping that tomorrow , my days going well defently over the tiredness and headaches from 7pm what a great feeling but went to the toilet earlyer and surprice surprice my totm has arrived again it only been bout 2 weeks since my last 1 , but putting this down to the low carbs and hoping my body will adjust and won't be happening every 2weeks , but now im defently happy batteries have gone in my scales as i normaly gain 7-9lb around time of the month so don't want anythink demotivating me from this great eatting plan i dont mind little losses or sts but gains i may cry lol

 

[Ange7367]

Evening .....sounds like u had a bit of a mare yesterday....with eating...it's difficult sometimes to concentrate on eating proper meals well still feeling great...swear I wasn't eating enough before and I was pretty grumpy at times....but feeling great now....just been looking at tgi's menu my youngest is gonna take me out for something to eat thurs he fancies tgi's but looking at it ...it looks a bit of a nightmare so gonna twist his arm and go harvester and then we gonna go and see ted looking forward to it...we don't get as much time now he is older to spend quality time together ....different when their younger there around all the time lol....

Dunno where the time went today got to sainsburys and got ingredients for turkey and spinach curry and also managed to get some celeriac ....not tried the mash yet....didn't know you could mash it...gonna try that to orris with the cheeseburger pie can't wait.

Had brocolli and Stilton soup and was really nice and then had the curry tonight but no rice used up almost all of the turkey I bought at the weekend ....getting sick of turkey now lol....

Well it looks like thurs and Friday is gonna be a bit tricky eating wise as got funeral now Friday ....will be good even if I starve lol...no I will have a good brekkie before funeral that should keep me going off the rails.

Well done u for the exercise I'm going tomorrow...got personal training session I got two free when I joined my god the boy works me hard ....sort of dreading it but he keeps me going....but wont have any more just try and keep up with 3 gyms sessions a week.

sounds like a good plan not weighing for a month was thinking the same....I don't want to get down about Atkins ....so if I don't weigh myself it will keep me positive...so u got a deal no weighing until 5th September ....I still feel slimmer defnately lost 1.5 off my waist ....so happy with that.....

I will try and find that chicken recipe think your kids will like it too.
