Kat1e's Diary - 7 years low carb - still learning!

[Kat1e]

Hello all my lovely friends :wavey:

Sorry i can't get round all the diaries - been trying but keep losing 3g (on the motorway heading for the tunnel....and no i'm not driving )

Had a lovely few days in wales - staying with PILs, met up with cousin and family, lunches out, drinks on the terrace in the sun, walks in the rain etc! DD being a bit of a nightmare - unhelpful, wont eat prperly etc but i have lowered my expectations and that's helping a bit. Hopefully just a phase but we have 4 weeks together solid now

So on the road to France - first stop tonight campsite in normandy. We've got about 3 weeks of camping so hopefully weather will cooperate. Just managed to cram everything in the car this morning - message to self - cant buy anything! Then end aug we get to villa eith best friends - will no doubt need civilisation by then

Food all great - generally eat low carb anyway. Tasted a few chips - not that exciting. Got some spots - even more reason to avoid not planning to indulge in croissants/bread but planning to stuff face with lovely creamy sauces plus gallons of vino

Hope all well - will try to check in with photos from a campsite wi-fi sometime
Have fun...

Hi everyone :wavey:

Just checking from campsite 6 where we finally have reasonable wi-fi. 2weeks camping and looking forward to going to visit a friend tomorrow - real beds loos nearby instead of top of the hill! Etc....

Currently sitting in cafe in shade overlooking the pool while dh and dd splash - it's rather warm here in provence...

Eating lo carb as usual as when i stray my tummy complains - plenty of steak and wine though

Hope all well and will catch up properly next week when i have power and wifi in the villa

Bye

Hi all, finally in our villa in provence with wifi. Only works in the kitchen so i wont be surfing from the pool like Lisa's last hols lol

With our good friends and their kids so lovely to have the kids playing together .... except when they're fighting ...or using my toothbrush on the pool filter Lovely spot and everyone looking forward to relax so dont think we have to pretend to do lots!

Foodwise - enjoying pate and salad for lunch and steak & veggies for dinner. Loads of vino - there is a 5litre box of rose in the fridge that cost 7.50 euros - fabulous still avoiding the bread and croissants but not will power - mainly to avoid tummy aches!

Hope all well and will dip in and out

Hi all, finally in our villa in provence

Oooh I'm so jealous, Katie! Whereabouts in Provence are you?

or using my toothbrush on the pool filter

Oh dear that's not good - but I have to admit I burst out laughing, little monkeys - but bet they thought they'd found the perfect tool for the job

 

[Dietkitty]

Sounds lovely Katie. Wish I was still posting from the poolside lol.

 

[Kat1e]

Ok - here is the obligatory poolside view - we are up in mountains north of Nice - so see vines and mountain from poolside

Just need to get some local vino to taste - already checked a few grapes and they were lovely!

[Dietkitty]

Looks lovely and glad to see you have adopted my favourite pose of feet up lol.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh wow it looks gorgeous!

I'll be fairly close to that area from Saturday, off on my coach jaunt of the French and Italian Rivieras I'll be in Monaco and Monte Carlo on Wednesday 5 September, and Menton on Friday 7 September - so yell out on my mobi if you think you're up for a day trip

Hi, your holiday sounds amazing and you seem to be doing very well dietwise, enjoy the rest of your break. I intend reading your diary from start to finish, you have the atkins lifestyle sussed.

 

[Kat1e]

Hi all
Last day at the villa and seems to have disappeared so fast! Planning to enjoy the sunshine and pool as much as possible. Then tomorrow have to start the long drive north - aiming to visit friends in paris on sunday and then back to reality monday!

Highlights today - easily put on the tight sz 14 capris bought before left so means the 6 week hols hasn't done too much damage
And enjoying my holiday hair....

Xxx

 

[Alpaca]

Morning Katie... it sounds like such a tremendous holiday - very cathartic ... love the view and the hair!! xx

 

[Kat1e]

Evening all. Back home and having a quick catch up...after 6 weeks hols and last 4 of those away feels very strange. Hoping scales not too awful as pretty well ate as i please (ie low carb) for hols but last few days tricky as hotel breakfast rather limited! Anyway feeling ok given no dance classes/zumba and wine EVERY night - oops! In fact given it's not a school night yet we are still finishing off that 5l of rose from provence.......
The real question is will i make zumba tomorrow morning or wait and ease in with gentler dance class on wed.....

Hope everyone well
Xxx

 

[Dietkitty]

Back to real life now then Katie! Enjoy the rose.

 

[Alpaca]

Lovely to have you back Katie!!! Seems ages! Enjoy the rose xx
