Jonsgirl's Atkins daily blah blah

Thanks for the lovely post Lisa-Ann i really love my job so its a bonus to be appreciated too - i definitely didnt feel that way in my last job and it makes a huge difference.

No firm ideas on a celebration yet as my natural inclination would always be to feast on loads of naughty stuff - not an option now! but it's hard to break that mindset and think of something suitable.

Haha my husband is not allowed within 500 yards of the shop unless I am with him - he cant be trusted! I go to tesco's now -I used to love going to morrisons but they sell too much lovely stuff that was too tempting to resist. Our shopping bill is always massive because hubby does slimming world so he gets all the fat free fromage frais and stuff (pots of misery I call them lol) and I get all the lovely cream and Philly etc. so we're cooking two different meals every night but its worth it. Xx
 
Hi Susie,

cauli egg fried rice recipe is:

heat a little butter or oil in a wok or frying pan ( just enough to stop it sticking, if you use too much it turns into cauli soup lol)

grate the cauli and put in the pan, let it cook, stirring often, until I starts to go brown.

Stir in a little soy sauce.

make a well in the centre and drop in an egg. Break the yolk and leave until the egg starts to solidify then stir through the rice. Leave on heat, stirring regularly, for a minute or two, until all the egg is cooked through.

And that's it. Sometimes I add some cooked meat or little prawns at the end so it becomes special fried rice which I can eat on its own and it's yummy xx
 
Yum, sounds lovely. I love this forum for stealing everyone's clever recipes! I'm alright at cooking if I'm following a recipe but I'm not very inventive.
 
Another pound down today so that's a loss every week for the past four weeks.

oh and you know those skinny jeans I was so happy about getting into last week?? I put them on today, went to fasten them and realised they were already fastened!

Not much planned today - probably go into town as I need to go to holland and Barrett for more flax and i want a mooch in Lakeland for some baking supplies - I make cakes in my spare time -maybe not an excellent hobby for a low carber but I don't eat them I only make and and decorate them lol.

I'm having chicken baked in mayo for my tea and I'm looking forward to it so much I'm fantasising about it already lol.

have a good day ladies xx
 
I was in aldi yesterday, noticed golden linseed milled for £1.99!!!!!!! Picked up a pkt, not used yet, but it's soooooo much cheaper than holland and Barrett! Never seen there before, so thinking its a new line they have added x
 
Lol at fastened skinny jeans - go girl:D

Whereabouts in Aldi was it meg? I need to get some because I just paid £5 in holland and Barrett - grrrrrrr xx
 
It was next to the cereals, there was a few different ones. Some with berries in etc etc. so much cheaper than H&B, and 0.7 carbs not 0.5 but I am going to stick to it!! The price difference is insane. X
 
Haha for the price difference I will live with the extra 0.2g of carbs.

we have a new Aldi opening just down the road - well about 15 miles away actually but that's the best you can hope for when you live in a very small town. It opens in 10 days and I will be first in the queue xx
 
Doh I just went to aldi earlier today. Wish I'd read your post first! I need to get my hands on some golden flax to see if it makes my mims more appetising. Looks like I'll be trekking back there tomorrow. Have to psych myself up to avoid the goodies aisle they force you to walk down first tho!
 
I know!! How come all the veg and meat is at the back!! And it's with the cereals so just luck I noticed!! Also the alcohol is on the way out isle, I always get tempted there!! A bottle of Prosecco!!!!! Found its self in my trolley x
 
Yes alcohol has a nasty habit of doing that! LoL.

i just found low carb megastore online - so much stuff on there I want - this could be expensive!!!! Xx
 
Well not done much today other than a bit of decorating - it's taking sooooo long because we have so much stuff and nowhere to put it so we can't clear the room. That means we can only decorate one wall at a time and then have to move everything around - grrrr!

I'm having a hungry day today just wanting to graze all day but trying to resist so menu has been:

brunch: toasted mim cut into four and filled with bacon and egg. Black coffee with one sweetner. Glass of soya milk.
dinner: homemade kofte kebabs, salad, egg wraps, celeriac chips. Sf jelly and cream.
snacks: five sugar free sweets.
