To whom it may concern

Today is weigh day! But my scales still not up to reading my weight!! Think that's my first goal!! X so heading to mothers in a bit. X

Yesterday's food
B - x 2 spoons of coconut oil!
L 3 egg omelette filled with mushrooms, tomatoes, and bacon lardons felt full after 3/4 my mum was there she was insisting I finished it!! On reflection I should have refused, so now I feel angry at myself x
D- gia tomato purée on a plate with mozzarella and nuked in a micro!! Lovely but disgusting of me!! But so so nice x pizza without a base x
 
Just watched the men who made us fat!!! And now the men who made us thin!!! Both eye openers!!!! I am so glad my GP advised Atkins!! X
Feel rotten tonight, hot, cold flu like!! Headache and tired. Think I have a virus x so cwtched on the sofa, a big quilt over me, jack cwtched in also lots of water and some paracetamol!! X
 
God yes I forgot!! I lost 5lbs xxx super happy I thought I got away with the dreaded flu 2 weeks in!! Trust me to be late getting it x
 
Whoop whoop well done meg xx
 
Well done on the 5lbs meg, yes ex sounds like a douche! The Atkins flu can strike at any time. I remember getting mine around 1 month in so I wasn't prepared for it and thought I was lucky and skipped it haha..nope it got me.
 
Woohoo - 5lbs is brilliant Meg!!!!!!! :wow:

Hmm it does sound like Atkins flu, hun. Keep warm, drink lots of fluids (try chicken stock in hot water, worked a treat for me) and don't force yourself to eat if you don't feel like it.

It is horrible but it will pass in a day or two - and remember this is your body getting rid of those nasty carbs! :) xxx
 
Today was horrid, woke up feeling slightly better. Then my son comes into the bedroom his father had not picked him up for his football game!! And to my 15 year old son his football/rugby are his life.... No answer on Ex's phone so I plugged the sat nav in and drove to Swansea. 2 hours later a very apologetic text message saying he had overslept. It may have been for the best, I never take my son to football, afraid of embarrassing him due to my size, he suggested gently that I take jack to meet the other mums! (Again my hang up not his) and they where lovely x now sat in the garden friends over with more wine! I am ok drinking while I lose, but it will be the first thing I stop. I am making fajitas later, lettuce used for my wrap x
 
Glad you're feeling better hun, and enjoy the wine!

I hope you don't mind saying this but I am really starting to dislike your ex. The one thing you think he'd want to do at a time like this is to maintain a good relationship with your son - and he knows how important the game is - yet he sleeps in! Grrrr.

But looking on the bright side, you got to meet some of the other mums - and Jack went to his first footie game :D xx
 
Susie I agree! And will have words with him over it!
I loved the fajitas I did cheat and use a discovery pkt of mix. It was the lowest carb ones I could find so hoping it will be ok x I made my own guacamole and it was stunning!!! Never buying shop stuff ever again! Had cheese sour cream etc etc i did not have the tomato salsa as that was another shop bought! And to many carbs x
 
I second what Susie said!!


Home made gucamole is divine isn't it? I could it it straight from the bowl with a spoon!
 
Hi Meg, I love your idea of fajitas using lettuce wraps. I started on atkins a couple of weeks ago and am getting a bit bored of my limited diet of meat/chicken and salad for pretty much every lunch and dinner. I'll definitely be giving the fajitas a go and might even try the homemade guacamole.

They are divine I promise!! I think I picked it of susie's diary, I have used massive lettuce leaves for burgers, tuna mayo wraps and now this! They are my staple now x
 
Sound lovely meg.

You can keep the guacamole tho - me and avocados don't get along lol

it's good that we can adapt recipes like this to make them more atkins friendly.

I'm trying homemade donner kebab tonight - one of hubby's slimming world recipes I've nicked and modified. Hope it turns out well because I love kebabs and I'm just fancying one. :D
 
Let me know how it turns out and the recipe!! Sounds great! X I have noticed how much I relied on connivence foods previously. Loving cooking again x
