I am back at work next week, so I will be able to get back into my 'CD routine'. But until then, I'm at home and will be getting back into ketosis. Meaning, I should be on top form by Monday once the ketosis fairy works her magic! Going to be making my first shake of the day in about half an hour. And glugging away at water while lounging on the sofa watching a Disney film (yes, yes I am a child at heart! ) Then I'll be back to post again, before embarking on wii fitness coach this afternoon ![]() Here's hoping I can see this through to the end. However, setting this aside I had 1 slight problem...My HB Birthday meal. It's currently being arranging by MI for beginning Dec. Luckily for me, we are having a posh "lunch" rather than the usual very fattening fine dining! So I'm opting to skip dessert and have a chicken ceasar salad (which I have seen they serve on the menu) For starters, it's between soup of the day (skip bread roll that comes with it) or smoked salmon (best looking 'healthy' options) Not sure at the moment what to do. What would be best? ![]() Hugs x x x

I am re-starting CD in May 2011 in the hope to loose the 4 stone gained in pregnancy plus an extra 2 stone to reach my ultimate target of 11 stone. My targets for 2011 - 1. Loose 1 stone - Done! 14/05/11 2. Loose 2 stone 3. Get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (13 stone) 4. Begin the journey to goal! ![]() |

I re-started yesterday to try and shift some weight for Christmas. With regard to the meal I'm not sure which one would be better. Probably Salmon or like you say if you skip the bread roll the soup may be ok. |

We are in it to win it this time, so there will be no more slacking... will there ... from either of us ??? I would go with the Smoked Salmon - it's protein.. good for the old Ketosis fairy but then again the normal policy is to stay on the White & Green diet - ie white flesh and green vegs Do you have to have a starter ? I've just arranged my works do for 18th December and it's to a Curry House !!! WTF - how do I get out of that one then ?? Hope you are having a good day and enjoy your film mate T x |

Best of luck - you sound really positive. Re the meal - chicken caesar salad is ok but ask them to leave out the croutons and serve the dressing on the side so you can just have a little of it. (You never need all the dressing they often pile on!) And I'd definitely have salmon to start, much 'purer' protein, you dont' know whats in the soup but likely to be high fat (butter, cream) and also often thickened with potato or flour. |

I often have a chicken ceasar salad when i'm out... depends on what soup is being served on the day - could be cream of something of other which is not good. Salmon is a lovely choice. (And think of it as a treat - enjoy - then move on! lol.) I am so looking forward to Christmas!! Bring it on!! lol Lx |
