What are we eating today?

[Spinoza]

Linzi! How could you! (Well I know how - they're everywhere, sexy little blighters)!!! How many carbs in a rose? Coming over all Shakespearian here...

Joop - that's a definite naughty giggle there missy! Is that the sound of a cork popping I just heard? Is this a pre-London treat?

I (completely arbitrarily) count all wine as 10 carbs per bottle. That may or may not be what's actually in a bottle, but there are such wildly varying 'expert' opinions on the net, and it's a nice round figure. Thanks for bigging me up as the expert Suse - all puffed up now! xxx

I know I've just told Paul if he wants to keep all the tutt in the house he needs to hide them away as I wanted to throw them out... so no more little sneaky bits as I can't be trusted!!

Strict induction tomorrow & I need to remember how much easier it is to eat my way into ketosis!

 

[Spinoza]

I'll be with you then Linzi, just having a last few treats (yet I can shout at you for eating chocolate???) AND some wine later (ditto), before the nose is back to the grindstone tomorrow.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Ha ha... its always easier to shout at someone else, takes the pressure off ourselves then! I'm annoyed at myself but can't change it! Have got some more Crabbies ham cooking away so I can live off that until my cravings disappear!

[Spinoza]

Oh dear, it's like a confessional in here today.

Bless me father for I too have sinned, and on my first day! Opened wine just now to have with lovely early lamb dinner with children, as we're both back to work tomorrow and just wanted to, will split the bottle with OH, and then that's really really it for alcohol till the 21st at my work do. *draws another line in the sand*

What's my penance then?

Susie I did of course spend half the morning on the loo - stupid stupid me.

James, fab loss in one day - nice work there!

ETA - I did a run this afternoon though - 6 miles, and it was great. Should get out with the club tomorrow night too if I get home from work in time (no idea what's waiting in there for me after almost 2 weeks off!)

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh no Water, sorry to hear about the loo hun - but sometimes these things (eating lots of choc) just have to happen. Enjoy the wine!

 

[Spinoza]

No no no Susie, you're supposed to be laying a guilt-trip on me! If you're lovely like this then I'll never behave! xxx

Good on you for your walk today - how's the ankle holding up these days?

 

[ladyfelsham]

The ankle is getting much better thx hun, a bit sore after today, but that's to be expected as it's the first exercise I've been able to do for nearly two months
