Afternoon Nikki

I think I might have to "borrow" your iced latte idea... now its hot Im not getting through my 250ml semi skimmed -so I may have to "splash out" 1 syn on 2tsp camp coffee mmmmmmm -my dad used to make me these when I was a kid -i know I could use other coffee for free but I have camp in too so I may as well use that (I prefer it too)
Not long until your holiday now ... oohhh I bet you are ready -and I bet you will lose those lbs you want in plenty of time
Hope you have a great day -keep up the good work

 

[Eternalflame]

Capricorn, thanks honey..Iced latte is just lovely in this weather and a great way of using your HEA's and filling too . Yes, can't wait for the hols and will defo be body brushing now I've got my pampering creams and brush from Avon, can only get better, lol. xx

 

[rosiepeace]

sounds all good eternal hun - the avon stuff is usually good I did look at it in the last magazine I had but figured since I'm not going to be getting away on holiday it's not important at the moment.

I may try the iced latte at some point too - although it's not so warm here today, so i've just been having coffee's.

Am sure that if you keep going the way you are you will have a great weight loss next week.

 

[Eternalflame]

Thanks Rosie.

Im doing some work from home today and the iced latte went down well, around 12 as started to gt hungry, so just takes the edge off, lol. I put some coconut essence in with the ice too and that was really nice. Might try the chco flavour later to make an iced mocca.

The avon creams, been meaning to get those for a while, but now as the hols are getting closer, decided to get them, will start with those tonight and let you know in a few weeks how they are going.

Hows things going with you? Will pop over to your diary in a bit. xx

 

[Nikkiruth]

Oooooh How do you make Iced lattie, sounds lush, also been reading some of your threads, can you tell me what CD means, as I don't get it.
Your menu's look fab gives me ideas like to vary my days other wise i will get bored!!
Well done on your lose this week.

 

[Eternalflame]

Thanks for popping in Nikki

Iced Latte is made with 350ml skimmed milk (HEA), 1.5 tsp coffee granules, 1.5 tsp sweetner and a handful of ice. Blend all together and Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt..:8855:. It really is nice and filling too.

CD is Cambridge Diet, basically shakes and bars diet, it works out 450 cals a day diet and its really hard. But once you get passed the first 4 days of it, your body starts to go into Ketosis, which is fat burning mode and you loose quickly the first week, some ppl 10-14lb in their first week. I lost 8-10lb when I first do it. But its a temp diet as it's not good to do it long term re health wise. I have about a week and a half of the shakes left and will use them in emergency's lol. Might need to do that 2 weeks before my hols.

I try to varie foods, recipes as I get bored and have now found the plan that works best for me.. which is 4 days Red and 2 days EE after WI, making the day before WI always a Red Day. Quicker losses.

How are you doing? xx

Hi Kez

Thanks hun, trying my best so don't need to use my shakes, but.. it might be the case 2 weeks before I go. Only 35 days to go! And really need to loose a further stone by then.. so we shall see, but have them stocked at the ready just in case.

You are doing really well too on CD, you' ve lost a lot so far in the last week and a bit xx

Hi T.

Pretty much the same here too, good drying weather me thinks

 

[Madferret]

Sounds like a plan - should have put a load in this morning before leaving for work, but the boys were playing up again so didn't get round to it

 

[rosiepeace]

Hiya hun

Hope you have a good weekend. Looks like things are going well so far - the menu looks great. Rest up on the leg injury - you don't want to aggrevate it so much that you can't do much with it so don't worry too much about your steps for this week.

Hope you have a good weekend hun.
