Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[ladyfelsham]

Afternoon ladies, been a busy morning, with friends dropping by and Mr Tesco delivering lots of low carb goodies!

Just cooked some pork belly strips and they smell gorgeous, can't wait to tuck in!

After lots of water yesterday, I was curious to see what the scales said, so broke our once a week rule - and I'm 3lbs down from yesterday morning! So my gain is not as big as I first thought. Will leave the figures as they are though, and hopefully that will mean a nice result next Saturday

B - just tea
L - pork belly and mayo
D - sossies and broccoli bake

Morning Susie

Well done on sneaky weigh in- but naughty naughty for not staying off the scales!

Pork belly sounds fab - you're making me hungry lol. Think DH is planning to try making us chinese crispy duck tonight instead of takeaway - will report back! You know i love the fact that the atkins board is often about yummy food and swapping recipes - that's what makes it so great

Have a good sunday
Xx

 

[roosnanny]

hello there,
i wonder if you wouldn't mind sharing the contents ect of said sozzies and broc bake.

 

[Dietkitty]

Well done. It's obviously water weight.
Gutted as trevs cousin has been posting on FB about being in the departure lounge on the way to spend a week with his dad in Spain.
It's my Spanish hideaway!!! And we didn't get to go this year
Plus I'm cold and had to resort to my onesie last night. Oh well. Smirnoff is my friend xx

 

[CornishTT]

Glad to see only minimal gain considering a whole pizza! Must be because you eat so C&G most days! Look forward to your menus this week x

It's brilliant isn't it! I've picked up so many ideas - especially from you, hun

Hiya Lainey love xxx The sossies are Debbie and Andrew harrogate sossies and the broccoli bake is steamed broccoli and spinach in an oven dish, spoon over a tub of softened cream cheese, sprinkle with cheese, then bake for 25 mins or so. Yum!

It's my Spanish hideaway!!! And we didn't get to go this year

NOOOOO! How come you didn't go this year? Enjoy the smirnoff, it is getting autumnal out there!

Thanks hun, hopefully that's the reason

Am loving having a decaff coffee with gingerbread flavoured Da Vinci and alpro soya cream mmmmm Just the thing for a cold night - if you don't have vodka

I saw Smirnoff in sainsburys last week with bits of gold stuff in!! Was going to get it but noticed it was flavoured with caramel!! So pretty sure that would have carbs in it dam!! It looked so pretty! I a sucker for a gimmick x

Omg! That voddie sounds good!!!

 

[meg38]

Just checked mpf and kissed caramel vodka Smirnoff is no carbs!!!!! I think I may get a bottle just to check it out!! If nothing else it looks very pretty with floating gold bits! X

 

[Jonsgirl80]

I've seen that in tesco's and it looks so pretty - shame I hate vodka :-( xx

 

[kellmo]

The gold bits are cinnamon flavour apparently, looks DELICIOUS! I could drink it each and every weekend but it's the beer munchies that'd send me hurtling back into size 20!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

I feel physically well and like I've finally caught up on sleep, for the first time in about two weeks! I had a nap yesterday, and still got eight hours last night, so am a much happier chick today, despite it being cold-ish and grey

B -3 Debbie sossies and 100g coleslaw (delivered by mistake) - and two soya lattes!
L - chicken salad with mandarin oil and mayo dressing
D - chicken breast wrapped in bacon and cheese, and leftover broccoli bake
S - might have another gingerbread decaff coffee

Have a good day, all

 

[Dietkitty]

Several reasons we didn't go to Spain....... new boiler, Trev had to have a new car, holiday dates meant it would have cost £600 just for the flights etc. So we went to Bournemouth and Bren's instead

 

[coffeelover]

I love Debbie's sossies! Your menu looks great Susie. I ordered mandarin oil online don't know if it's the same brand. I placed an order for spaghetti squash online sheesh neither my Waitrose or Wholefoods seems to have them this year. Maybe it's too early or too late, but they had them online. I love them and a good low carb substitute for pasta.

Even better love cinnamon x may get as my treat when I see a 1 instead of a 2 as my first figure on my weight!! X

 

[meg38]

How do you make gingerbread lattes susie x will miss my Christmas lattes when put shopping!!! Mind my purse will love no more Starbucks x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oooh where did you get the squash online, Val?

How do you make gingerbread lattes

Decaff coffee, hot water, alpro soya cream and a slosh of gingerbread Da Vinci s/f syrup (from Low Carb Megastore)

 

[Jonsgirl80]

I really need to investigate low carb megastore - I need some of that syrup! X

 

[ladyfelsham]

I went a bit mad at one point and ordered a load - so I've got egg nog (lush!), orange, caramel, gingerbread, peanut butter (mmm) and raspberry

They are ££ but last for ages.

 

[ladyfelsham]
