Hi Linda, it was good, we had my BIL and his wife to stay, Saturday we had a huge family BBQ at our place, it was a good fun weekend. Yours?

Morning all. Great weather wasnt it?

 

[Jim]

It was indeed Cheryl, back to normal cold and grey today though.

Not here... we're still basking in sunshine! x

 

[Jim]

Really? lucky you, though having said that I'm at work so it doesn't really matter.

I know and im working 3pm til 3am today:cry:. Its going to be a cold night i think. My wee stick turned purple again last night so thats made me happy. Found my new fav food......butter chicken. Its sooooo delicious. I cant find tandoori paste anywhere so used tikka and was lovely. Im taking some to work with salad tonight. Thinking rocket with celery and cuecumber. Maybe a tiny bit of tomato so it doesnt look so green

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Yep kids are out in the garden, windows are open, washing on the line! Gotta make the most of it... it'll be gone soon enough! x

 

[cherl889]

I went for a walk along the Canal after lunch as it has brightened up considerably, still a chilly wind though.

Hi All,

On day 4 of induction. I am going to post menus here so I remember what I have eaten and in case I am making any huge errors

I have the new atkins book and I am following that

Meals today are:

B: scrambled eggs, 1/2 small avocado
L: Salad, ham, 1 hb egg, 5 green olives, 30g blue cheese
D: Steak on the bbq, courgette "pasta", and salad leaves
Snacks: chupa chup, 30g cheddar, celery and salmon pate (no sugar), mug of chicken bovril for salt

Water: 1.5 litres so far, 2 mint teas

E: Just walking today, felt too tired to run today

Still having a bit of trouble getting it into my head that fat is ok having been on a low fat diet for so long!

Great board, everyone is so friendly on here!!

Steph

Chubba chup as in a lolly? Didnt think you could have those and not sure how the new atkins works but im sure your only meant to have a total of 40g of cheeses a day. Jim? Your courgette "pasta" sounds nice, how do you make that?

 

[Jim]

It's spaghetti squash Cheryl.

I just buy a squash slice it into strips and steam it love.

 

[cherl889]

Ive only had squash once and it tasted very bland and boring. Might give it another go. Courgettes like that sound yummy with a little butter on top. So the chubba chup, as in lolly? Is that allowed? AM i being dumb? Lol

 

[Jim]

If I had the faintest idea what a chubba chup was I'd tell you Cheryl.

 

[cherl889]

Im sure its a hard boiled type lolly
