Hi Amanda and welcome to this crazy board

I am almost 2 weeks in now and have rediscovered all sorts of interesting vegetables in a bid to make sure I eat enough - suggest you just take the induction list shopping sometime

Hi Amanda - welcome aboard!
My favourite green:
Cabbage smothered in butter and freshly ground black pepper! nom nom nom!

Day 2

Breakfast ~ CD shake

Lunch ~ 2 babybels and some chicken with mayo

Dinner ~ made cottage pie (mince, onion, oxo cube and mashed boiled cauliflower with sprinkling of cheese ontop)

1 litre of coke zero and 2 pints of water (I really struggle with drinking plain water but am working on improving!!)

Was today ok?

 

[ladyfelsham]

Especially if he gets his stick out.

Is an Oxo cube legal? No idea how many carbs in that - everything else looks good - a wee bit more veg and you'll be laughing. And cabbage must always be parboiled, shredded, then fried in butter with bacon lardons and black pepper. Or done with a leek and cream sauce. I could literally eat those with every meal.

 

[LVLLM]

pmsl which stick

 

[Spinoza]

Why his veg stick of course Vicky!

 

[ladyfelsham]

I just snorted my gin at you too pmsl

 

[Spinoza]

Ooooooo - you're drinking when I can't! Naughty naughty Susie!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Hehe - just carb free gin and diet tonic with a dash of lime - glug glug glug...

Why can't you drink?

 

[Spinoza]

Work tomorrow. I never drink on a work night - not worth it! Enjoy your lovely gin Suze - I'll be back on a drop of the hard stuff myself next weekend! Two weeks of strict-ish Atkins has sorted my Xmas gain. I soooooo love Atkins.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Ah yes, that work thing - what a hassle (lol jk you know my thoughts on the subject).

Strangely the gin is making me sneeze (better not be developing an allergy ) and making me go to the loo - a lot!

 

[Spinoza]

Just pees? (Had to ask as Vicky isn't here at this time of night)

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yes Mum just pees - Number 2's are definitely Vicky's territory

 

[Jim]
