Thread: OK, Hope over Experience....

Against my better judgement I have decided to start a diary. I'm not a diary sort of person so I'll probably get bored & let it go...

However I thought that if I can stick with a diary, perhaps I can stick with the plan.

So.
Today I had coffee & double cream several times between getting up & 12.30 noon.

When I had a two egg omelette with one tomato in it, cooked in butter. Plus a coffee with cream.

At 6pm, I had a lamb leg chop (chump chop) fried in butter plus some cauli & broccoli boiled then mashed in butter. Then a coffee with cream.

At 9pm, I had a hunk of cheddar with coffee & cream.

I have calculated I have about 100mls double cream per day. The coffee I drink at home is Nescafe'.

I have also had some tap water & some slimline tonic water.

Otherwise I've had a boring day waiting for a promised delivery - which never arrived!
Did some (very little) housework.

Sorry diary, my first entry is rather sour but I hate being let down.

Morning hope today is a better day for you x

Hello Everhopeful and welcome to the diary zone :-)

Hope you enjoy keeping one ... I'm a cream lover too in my coffee... It's SO indulgent!

Hope you have a good day :-)

Thank you Shellsmithcat, My you do get up early on a Saturday morning. This lazy person rose at 8.30am..
Enjoy your day.

Thank you too Alpaca, I am just about to start my second coffee with cream. I used to buy fully skimmed milk - before I saw the light - and of course used it on things like breakfast cereal too. I am no breakfast eater but ate it on the advice of WW & all the other low fat 'gurus'.

Enjoy your day.

Skimmed is just coloured water in my opinion! Ha ha :-)

Morning Everhopful! I hope today goes well for you!

I love the idea of coffee with cream...but i cant stand the taste of coffee!!

Thanks Broox, My mother made tea we could stand the spoon in so I escaped to coffee as soon as I could.

You are so right about Soya, a friend persuaded me to try it, yuck. I gave her the rest of the carton.

I have been reading some of the recipe thread & now I feel feel hungry. I have no flax seed so I think I'll cook an egg.

Morning Everhopeful

Mornin' Katie & thanks. Lol, the veggie mash is because I am a lazy & unenthusiastic cook. I'd live on ready meals if I could buy cheap low carb ones. I'm also troubled with afterthought & it was late last night when I remembered I hadn't bought salad stuff. The result is that my canned tuna salad will be salad-less today but my dinner will have cooked green veg in butter to go with the M&S chicken in garlic. The rest will be the same as yesterday.

Enjoy your day hun.

I thought I was doing OK but this evening I was hungry. For the first time in - I have no idea how many years, I boiled two eggs & mashed them up with butter. I thoroughly enjoyed them but it brought my total calories to 1812. Ho hum.

Morning Everhopeful ... I get the munchies sometimes and it's really difficult to deal with for me... Usually I can zap it by drinking water... But you seemed to crack it with the yummy eggs :-)
