Shrinki's low carb food diary

[shrinki]

Dinner - Hungarian goulash with cheesy cauliflower mash.

Mash
Boil cauliflower for 30 mins. Put in colander and use a plate to squish out water. Stir and squish again. Put on low heat and add cheddar and parmesan and stir. Stir in a splash of double cream prior to serving. This was lush. Hungarian goulash was so so...




Edited to add that I was famished tonight!!
Obviously feeling better. Managed to eat it all no problem but didn't chew meat that well so hope I don't pay for that later!

My eldest is having her 7th birthday party at home tomorrow so here's hoping for nice weather.

Feel like such a twonk...

I booked our skiing holiday yesterday and all was fine. Paid the deposit. Done.

Then this evening, I receive another offer from the hotel which caused great confusion... When I looked in to it, I have booked the wrong hotel which happens to have the same name. I just don't understand how it's happened. If I really had got the hotels confused then how come the first hotel (and correct one) got back to me today. I feel like I've been somehow conned. Hubby very peed off as have almost certainly lost our deposit :-(

Now I just feel stupid :-(

OMG that is so unfair!!! Make a complaint!! Could b worse, it could b u turn up at the wrong hotel and there's 'no room at the inn' :-/
When r u going skiing again?? I'm jealous u get a lot of holidays!!! Xxx

Morning Jane

Can you cancel? How awful !! Xx

 

[shrinki]

Hi Cai and Alpaca

I received an email from the incorrect hotel saying the room has been cancelled. They didn't mention about my deposit so I hope they will refund it.

I also received an email from the correct hotel saying that unfortunately, it's not the first time that this has happened to some guests which is why they call it 'Leading Family Hotel & Resort Alpenrose' and not just 'Aplenrose'. I feel like such an idiot but I guess the worst thing will be that I lose eur250.

We are going during the ski holiday in February Cai. The rooms get booked up very fast during the Swiss school holidays as a lot of people go skiing in Austria from here as it's much cheaper.

Hey hi - lesson learned. Hubby was not happy with me - I suppose it looks very careless.

Om the positive side, it's very sunny here which is nice for Georgia's party as I want to do an Easter egg hunt and other party games outside.

Daily weighin -1 (weight loss since Monday 4 pounds)

Hello, had a smurfy day. My eldest had a smurfs party. It was fantastic weather and everyone had fun.

I can't tell you how tempted I was to cheat today. First time since starting Atkins almost two weeks ago. I got up at 9am and worked my socks off getting ready for the party non-stop - just had time for a coffee - no food. At 1pm I made the party lunch of sandwiches etc. etc. and I almost folded BUT I didn't! Not one little carb passed my lips. When the party finished at 2.30, I heated up my leftover cauli and meat. Dinner was stuffed pepper.

Small little dieting victory today. X

Edited because of the terrible auto corrects - was hardly readable!

Well done Shrinki, it's hard enough not buying bad stuff - but a million times harder when it's right there in front of you - so a big pat on the back for resisting

Thank you x. And thank you for managing to understanding the gist of the message - bloody auto correct!

Daily WI - STS (4 pounds lost this week so far). Official week 2 WI tomorrow.

Leaving for Dubai on Thursday :-D

Morning all, am having some problems this morning - feeling a bit blocked up (sorry if TMI) so will dig the psyllium husks out. I had two coffees with cream for breakfast - didn't fancy any food.

Think I will avoid eggs today and will have a nice salad with cheddar and bacon for lunch and maybe some chicken with Philly later. Need to pop out to the petrol station (which has a small food shop) which is the only place open here on a Sunday!

bless her
Happy Sunday Jane x

Hi Kals
Here's a pic!

Ok, food update:

B - 2 x coffee with cream
L - in restaurant; salad with chicken, fried bacon and mushrooms and boiled eggs. Asked for no dressing and took my own home made one with me.
Also took some jalapeños. Was lush.

Tummy still hurting. Am going to take two psyllium husks with two large glasses with water before dinner which will be tuna and mayo with small salad.

Certainly sounds lush as well
