Lucy's Atkins Diary :)

[ladyfelsham]

I live vicariously through my scales! They don't answer back, they're always there when I need them and they don't say 'tut tut' when I've stalled or gained!! Just wish they would lie a bit once in a while!

LOL not like mine, which say "One at a time please"

Lucy - you can freeze the oopsie rolls

Hehehehehe!! Mine haven't moved this morning.

I've put the Flopsies in the freezer now. Jim's chicken paprikash is cooking away for later. I won't be exercising today as the hand-whisking egg whites and scrubbing the pan has left me knackered! (Yes, I definitely should have used muffin cases in the pan )

I realised this morning that today is 4 weeks since I started Atkins. It's gone so quick! I've lost 8lb, not sure how many inches but I've gone down a size and lost 2 cup sizes ! I still have some lady bumps left so never mind . Even at my fairly slow rate I can quite happily carry on like this for as long as it takes to get to goal(ish). I'm nearly happy where I am weight-wise but still officially 6lb overweight (if you go by these BMI scores) and would like to lose a little more tum.

Well done Lucy! I dream of being 6lbs to goal weight!!! Must be a wonderful feeling!

Thanks Di, I'm still just over a stone away from goal, but it does feel good to be close. I've tried so many diets and ways of "changing eating for life" but NEVER found one I thought I could stick to for good. Now I know all the great stuff I can eat I wouldn't mind never eating bread again (or at least very rarely), same with pasta. It seems there can be low-carb versions of nearly every one of my "problem" foods. And eating enough not to feel hungry is definitely a good thing x

IN FACT... I have decided that I'm going to move to OWL today !
I'm planning 35g raspberries with my 1/2 choccy MiM and cream tonight. Looking at my food diary I'll be at about 22g nc, which I sometimes get to anyway, so it's more an experiment in how raspberries affect things. I've been having nuts and sugar free peanut butter some days for a couple of weeks now and that seems ok.
Because I'm at home all day today my menu looks quite interesting, so I'm going to post it..

Brek - 2 Flopsie Ooopsie Rolls with butter, coffee with unsweetened soya milk, tsp coconut oil

No Snack

Lunch - Chicken Paprikash with sprouts (VERY delish, thanks Jim!!)

Snack - Pork scratchings

Tea - 2 x Black Farmer sausages with buttery cauliflower mash and green beans

Evening munchies - 1/2 choccy MiM with 1 tbsp double cream and 35g raspberries

Wish me luck!

Sounds great Lucy!! Good luck with OWL! Will be interesting to see what the raspberries do!

I'll eat sprouts with anything Jim! I was planning to have cauliflower mash with it instead, but had to have that with sausages for tea, didn't I?!
