love atkins

I had loads of kids sadly interrupting emmerdale lol thank god youcan pause sky! I save upthe little prizes i win on 2p machines in Herne Bay and use those and buy lollies this year put in some chocolate santas n snowmen too as they were 50p a bag i wrapped the little prezzies up in red paper this year so they didnt know what they were. Still got about half the little bucket left i started off with 2 whole buckets. Little darlings
 
Well shipping trip went well, dress purchased, she has shoes that will fi with it but will still look for another pair, dress was a lot less than I thought I would gave to pay, so I don't mind......four weeks til wedding. I did ok at lunch time even though I had decided that I would break the diet today, I actually went for a salad instead anything else, parma ham, pine nuts, parmesan and salad leaves and it was delicious....still not hungry but I will gave something later if I think I need it. Maybe allowing myself to eat anything I wanted was a good thing because when I thought about it I wanted the salad!

Having major family stress at the moment, as in father and brothers and sisters; one of them does not like the way father is being looked after and is causing havoc.....all the rest of us are in agreement.....you would think majority rules but not in this case....don't know what is going to happen.
 
Sounds like a fab day - and the lunch sounds delish, what is it about pine nuts?! :)

Sorry to hear about the family stuff - mine make me want to stick my head down the loo and flush at times...hope sense rules and it gets sorted out without lots of shouting/acrimony xxx
 
Morning, thanks LF, yes hopefully it will all work out..... I love toasted pine nuts, they add a great taste to salads and when I make pesto I add loads.

I am back in the zone today.....I hope
B toasted cheese sandwich, made with flax pancakes...I think I will add some ham the next time.

L tuna, egg, mayo and salad

D beef stroganoff with cabbage and cauliflour... trying to get my greens up. Also u have not been drinking enough water recently, so I am going to up that also.

Enjoy your day
 
Evening all, well a strange day here, got up this morning intending to catch up with all the diaries.....hubby out in the motorbike for the day with some friends...so sag down about 12 and got started on the diaries, only responded to one and then got phone call from hubby, problem with the bike and he needed rescuing....he was in the middle of nowhere...when j asked what happened, thinking it was a usual problem, he says I got thrown off!!! He hit a slick of diesel and the bike went from under him...thankfully no injuries except to his pride, first ever accident. So 5 hours later and I got back home, so no catching up......I am now relaxing with some wine....trying to resist the urge for cream crackers and cheese....
 
Oof glad he's ok. Bikes in general and especially motorbikes scare me.
 
Morning all, I didn't resist crackers and cheese last night.. so back on the straight and narrow today. I have not really lost any weight in the last two months, so I think I will go back on induction again and try and figure out what might be stalling me. My calories have not changed but I have reintroduced berries, nuts and yogurt.....I think it might be dairy, so I will cut out the cheese also for a week and see how I get on. I have a wedding in 4 weeks and would ideally like to be 7 lb down....
 
Yogurt not only stalled me but made me gain. I think past a certain point you really do have to not have any cheats at all in order to see losses - that's why I have planned breaks every few months, it helps me not to give in to small daily cravings. I bet a couple of weeks strict induction will show a result for you.
 
its always a good leveller to go back to induction and reassess what you are doing and rereading the book helps lots too. glad oh is ok, my oh used to have a motorbike when we first met and we bombed around on that, the thought of it now scares me to death and so its cars all the way!!! he came off on a patch of ice round a bend once just as he picked himself up and his bike a lorry came round that bend, so close!! scary contraptions....
 
I think the accident must have stressed me more than I thought, when I am stressed I get lots of energy and go cleaning mad... I have washed all the windows already today....not a job I like!
 
Couod you pop over and do mine too please? My window cleaner stopped coming. It's probably because he always seemed to call when I had no cash on me or the kitchen was an absolute tip so I started hiding from him lol.
 
I know what you mean about the window cleaner, I used to have one, but would always have to time upstairs when he called to close curtains.....dd bedrooms were always a tip .....they are not too bad now that they are away at college.
 
So glad your OH is OK!

I'm the same, used to ride everywhere on the back of a uni bf's bike - wouldn't dream of doing it these days :)
 
Well evening all, house is tidy and hoovered......I have to admit I still enjoy going on the back of his bike, but after yesterday I don't know if I will want to do it again...it has always been our dream to head for France and go to Italy and back again on the bike over a 3 week period. We will have to see DD have never really been happy when the both of us go on the bike....they probably have more sense then us lol.

Good day food wise

B omlette with chorizo
L leftover chicken and ham with egg mayo in lettuce wraps
D chilli.....my portion taken out before I added tomato or beans. With a dollop of sour cream.

Not sure of the ratios, will work them out later.
 
Maybe a motorhome would be more the thing for travelling now? :) Although I read a brilliant book not long ago about a guy riding around Italy on an old Vespa - made me want to go out and do the same thing! :D
 
Morning all. I don't think I will suggest motor home just yet! Don't think that suggestion would go down too well at the moment but maybe later on..... that is a good idea.
Ratios were spot in yesterday. I am going to my sisters today to look after my dad.

B tuna bake, I made it with chilli cheese didn't have any jalopenas .
L lettuce wraps
D Katies chicken bake with cauliflour
I hope you all have a good day.
 
Hi sammy, glad your OH is okay - scary stuff :(

Your menu sounds lovely - must go and look up Katie's chicken bake as I'm in the mood to try some different recipes at the moment.

Hope you have a good day with your dad :) xx
