Stubbseys Diary - back in the zone!

[Ange7367]

Morning stubbsie .....hope your feeling a bit brighter today...hate that when you get an attack of the glums for no apparent reason ....I normally put it down to hormones ...I'm at that age where mine are all over the place hormones that is lol. Gonna check out that recipe for meatzza sounds very nice x

 

[Kat1e]

Hi Stubbsey - hope you are feeling cheerier today. And that's what atkins bars are for - occasional medicinal purposes!

 

[stubbsey]

Hi girlies,

thankyou for all the encouragement i did need it yesterday, what a miserable old cow i was lol. Not been on as much this past few days just popping in and out etc, one of the reasons is i cant post on my ipad anymore something has happened and it just doesnt give me the send option its greyed out, there doesnt seem to be anything in the settings and i have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, its only happened since the last software update so that must be the reason, its blooming frustrating and i dont know who to report it to either.

had meatzza today for dinner, did my Nigella bit in the kitchen, i made a whole one and cut it into 3, was going to freeze two bits for dinners another day, but my youngest and his girlfriend wanted some then oh wanted some so its all gone.. it was very nice. i used whizzed up oopsie roll for the breadcrumbs to make it completely atkins friendly and induction friendly too. It was very very filling couldnt eat all my veggies i was stuffed. will defo make that again. it also gave me a chance to use some parsley out of the garden etc. i didnt have any mozzerella balls so just used grated which i keep in the freezer.

the london meet up sounds good and will try to make that if i can!! but steve the oh is off on a/leave so depends on when and if his money has gone in for me to spend lol..

had breakfast out in Faversham, atkins friendly restaurant there they do chefs special which is just bacon, sausage, mushroom, half tom and eggs mmmm very nice to have it cooked for me for a change!!

B 2 eggs 2 bacon 2 sausages mushrooms half a tomato
D Meatzza cauliflower broccoli runnerbeans

snack for later if i need it is one chicken thigh

Have you updated your iPad to the new operating system? There's a note just gone up saying its currently incompatible with minimins but they're working on it.

 

[Dietkitty]

I just have to hit return if my post is quite short. The send is greyed out. Do you think that's the issue? I'm running ios6 on both phone and (brand spanking new!) iPad

Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

 

[stubbsey]

yes it must be the ios6 as i have only really noticed it since i updated the software, and if they have posted the problem hopefully that will be sorted out very soon.

been watching man v food love that program, but now i am dreaming of a king twinky and i dont even know what a twinky really is looked very yummy though.

 

[moonlights]

I had a Twinkie when I went to new York. Sadly disappointing - really really synthetic taste. Love mvf though - is it wrong to quite fancy Adam?

 

[stubbsey]

no i think he is just one of many guilty pleasures on that show, maybe its the way he just celebrates food that is just so tempting, how does he not end up the size of a house?

 

[Alpaca]

Morning Stubbsey - I must watch that programme! I've seen it scheduled but never tuned in. I quite like Ina - although the smooching with the hubby on camera makes me want to vomit a little. lol xx

 

[stubbsey]

Morning all iv decided not to upgrade the software on my iphone til bug is sorted so expect some weird updates coz this text is so small i am bound to hit some wrong buttons at some point

Weight keeps fluctuating between 2lbs one day its off then its on etc so reallt sts yet again what is going on!!! Getting cross now

Going to be tougher this week oh is off all week n thats never easy on the diet

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning Tracy

Don't worry, the fluctuations happen to everyone, then you'll get a whooshie xxx

 

[stubbsey]

thanks Lady Susie
it had better be a hell of a whooshie to make up for THIS amount of frustration lol i am trying everything i can to assist it along, i bought some vitamins containing all the right stuff for atkins yesterday, i have ordered some enzymes, i even did bloomin yoga last week (still ache around shoulders where they meet the arms ugh) yet what do my scales say??? up 2 down 2 up 2 down 2... grrr

off for my brekkie now which sadly today i have to make myself, prob egg n bacon trying to keep it atkins simple for a few days if steve being off work doesn't spoil things that is..

luv luv luvs everyone

 

[Dietkitty]

I'm getting that 2lb fluctuation at the moment too. 2nd totm in 3 weeks arrived yesterday so that could be some of it. Looks like I'm going all hormonal.

 

[stubbsey]

its maddening isnt it! i have not had any monthly nasty surprises, but mine has just ended, evil curse! i was doing well until that arrived too. i have been careful to only have induction things, if i have gone over carb allowance its not been by much and my ketosis is still good, i think some of it is that weird little phenomenon that happens when you get to the bottom of a stone and just cant get through it to the next one down. why the heck that happens is beyond me!

 

[Ange7367]

Yeah I'm having the same prob with iPad having to log in through safari ....since io6 update....I have to say I can't stand oh being around in the day unless we are going away...he drives me potty and also scuppers my diet....hope you get past the scales jumping up and down its so frustrating

x

 

[stubbsey]

Evening!!!

what a gloomy day and dodged rain all day. not very nice for oh an/leave went to garden centre and to asda, ohhh the glamour!

Did well with food today tho, day one of having steve at home and no naughtiness. feel really tired as didnt get to bed til 2 and woke up at 6 ugh, but should get an early night tonight as my noisy son is staying at his girlfriends

B 2 eggs 3 bacon
L King Prawns small salad mayo
D braising steak cauliflower runner beans onion & tomato oxo gravy

 

[Ange7367]

Mmm lovely Tracy I so want to cook braising steak now that its getting colder ....minus the lovely dumplings I couldn't face the trip round asda ...so got it delivered today...bad move they didnt deliver enough smoked haddock rang them up and said they would get the rest out to me....(still waiting lol) oh and son enjoyed my smoked haddock ....was not a happy bunny I wound up with toulouise sausages and celeriac mash

Hope you get a good nights sleep...noisy teenager lol x

 

[stubbsey]

to be fair to noisy son he isn't really THAT noisy its just as this is one of those dolls house looking town houses his bedroom is above mine, and i can fall asleep in front of the tele with world war three going on and no problem getting off, once i have gone to bed if i hear the faintest noise like talking or his tv or game i am wide awake and can't get off.. what is that all about?

he is off work for three days leave so i was expecting him to have his noisy friend round for a game session especially as that friend has just lost his job and they have bought a new game between them, but thankfully he went out for a game of pool with another friend who lives near his girlfriend so staying round there, ahhh peace!

had some mussels for an evening snack, did a ketostix test just now and it was much lighter, which is odd as i kept it lean and green all day and my ketosis has been better all week when i have tested it even though i have had more experimental foods then.. body is very confusing at the mo...

night all, sleep well xxx luv luv lugs

Hi Tracy

I'm the same at the moment - when I think I should be in K I'm not and yesterday I had a reasonably (40g) carby day, complete with a LCM bread roll for B and a low carb wrap for lunch, then krispbread and cheese for an after dinner snack - and dropped 5 lbs this morning. I don't get it. More to blame the hormones for?

 

[moonlights]

Lightness/darkness on ketostix doesn't mean much at all - if it's pink then you're in k and burning fat - you don't burn more fat for having a darker stick. You're most likely to have a darker stick first thing in the morning as you're dehydrated and a lighter stick in the evening after drinking and flushing out ketones all day. Nothing to worry about!

Also weight is reflective of several days before, not (usually) just the day before, so it does happen that losses show up after days where people have eaten more than then feel they should, and gains sometimes show when they've been saintly.

It's a mad old thing this weight loss!
