Enjoy your Chinese buffet Jim - yummy!

S - oopsie with corned beef and brown sauce
L - roast pork with cucumber, cherry toms and lc coleslaw
D - cheeseburger pie and cauli

E - only a quick walk as been for a corn removing tonight and toe is a bit sore and playing out with band tonight so there will be lots of dancing (or bouncing up and down on the spot more like)
W - about 3 litres plus coffees
A - 6pm and on the wine - well it is the weekend and I have a mim already made in case of post pub munchies lol

 

[Spinoza]

B - Fried egg
L - Chicken caesar salad with my friends in M+S - took the croutons off and had my own zero carb dressing with me
D - too much cheese and olives, and buckets of celery sticks with caesar dressing to dip
S - 4 brazil nuts and 1/5th of my partner's MiM
E - 8 mile run :massmoon:
W - 3L including coffees
A - 2/3 bottle of wine with my friends (hence dinner was wine-based snacks as above) totally worth it though, and so long since I let my hair down.

 

[Cinta]

Sounds a good evening WW. Bet the wine hit the spot, it doesn't take much on induction

Jim, hope you enjoyed the Chinese

 

[ladyfelsham]

Bren hope your toe mends soon - I get corns too, annoying blighters aren't they?

Saturday -

B - bacon and eggs
L - chicken and courgettes with chilli and cream cheese (thx for the idea Steve)

Enjoy your weekend peeps

Making soup.

Tub of Tesco chicken stock 0.4c
270g celery (just what I had) 2.4c
150g spring onions (you could use less, they're a big chunk of the carbs!) 4.5c
50ml single cream 1.5c
More water as you see fit
Loads of salt and pepper, and a few herbs if you fancy

Total for the whole pot 8.8c. It'll probably do me 4 big bowls. I may eat most of it for lunch - too early to say.

 

[Spinoza]

B - Fried egg
L - celery soup (see above)
D - MASSIVE ribeye steak (*drool* - I am fantasizing about meat, is this bad?) with peppercream sauce and leeks and probably a side salad with caesar dressing if I can fit it in/don't guzzle all the soup at lunchtime
S - (if necessary) 1 or 2oz cheese, couple of brazil nuts, chicken or ham slices, maybe a teeny bit of MiM if partner makes one at supper time
W - 2L fizzy every day, plus loving decaf coffee with light soya milk - you have to add cold water before the milk though, otherwise it curdles
A - gonna try a two or three vodkas and diet ginger tonight

Loving low carb!

 

[ClaireCat]

Today

Hiya DM - going great thanks - spent most of the weekend evenings on the dancefloor - energy levels have been fantastic! Good luck with the change to Atkins, hope it does the trick for you.
Which coleslaw you using - I have found the lowest one is Morrisons The Finest Coleslaw - think it is 1g per 100g - and yummy with it.
Bren xx

Yesterday - Sat 18/9 - Maint
B - half a mim with cream
L/D - roast chicken pieces with garlic mushrooms, cauli and broccoli
Supper - sausages on sticks with pickled onions, piece of pie without most of the crust, slice of quiche without most of the crust, a few rainbow drops (it was a willi wonka birthday party but did not have any chocolates or cake - how amazing is that?) I have never seen so many sweets in my life in one room so stuck firmly to the dance floor for at least 4 hours to work off the rainbow drops (all half dozen of them). The wine was better than Friday night thank goodness. Not drunk enough water today though.

Sun 19/9 - Maint
B - half a tub of ff greek yog, flaxmeal and splenda (am really loving this mixture)
L - 2 pieces of chicken from yesterdays dinner
D - Joint of pork roasting in the oven, cauli and broccoli to go with it.
S - a few atkins friendly bits and pieces here and there.

W - just over 2 litres which is better than yesterday.
E - rest day after last night, rain is not making me excited about going out for a walk with dogbert and he is not interested either as he is sprawled out in front of the fire - think he missed it during the summer lol
A - shared most of a bottle of red with the missus and now have a voddy and coke zero in hand.
