Consolidation Ellie's back cruising her way back to target

[ellie1969]

Trudy Sidd and all the others who are missing in action are all posting in a group we set up on fb to help the strugglers along. Trudy is taking baby baby steps and I think almost at the end of 7 days . I'll let them know they are missed Jo xx

I'm still batting on into week 4... Hubby wanted pancakes and maple syrup yesterday so I made up the batter and cooked a batch.... He ate one and the rest sat on the cooling rack all afternoon.... When making his sandwiches last night I looked at them, took out a Tupperware box and packed them away.... They have remained there and not one has passed my lips... I now feel the control is back even though at times It felt quite week yesterday due to feeling ill I sucked on a sugar free sweet instead of heading into the crackers and cheese etc lol

You've probably thought of this already but just wanted to post what came to mind when you mentioned about Hubby's pancakes, maybe scale back the recipes in future - I know he loves your home cooking but if you only make enough mix/batter/whatever to cater for just him, then there'll be nothing to pack away in tupperware and tempt you - I find the idea of tucking into a bag of flour with a spoon not quite so tempting as dough or fresh baked goods

They are not bothering me in the slightest.... Makes a change lol unfortunately the recipe only uses one egg so can't really divide it up

Well done Ellie, lets see if I have as much restraint tomorrow

 

[Supertonic]

It is truly dull without your posts here. I don't do FB - can't cope with the nagging American style reminding me I've not checked in recently- so the odd update here of your progress is always welcome!

Lovely to read you, Ellie x

lovely to hear from you again and to have Trudes back... the "control" is such a fabulous feeling. I have a cleaner in the city on a Thursday morning and I always leave her the biscuit barrel out by the kettle. Yesterday, I shook it and to my horror it didn't rattle much. So I had to open "the cupboard", grab a packet and fill the barrel for her... no worries (cos first thing in the morning and I never eat until about 10am anyway). Last night, returning from work late, there it was... next to the kettle. That barrel... and I knew what was in it (which is unusual as I never normally take the lid off!!). It was rushed straight to "the cupboard" where it'll remain until next Thursday! haaaa!! devil food!!

I'm into Dukan pancakes at the moment as a treat. I just typed the recipe in Silver's diary...

Hey how you getting on?
Iv not even got the books anymore! Lost them when i moved house! Im using my old diaries for ideas! And looking online. Dukan doesnt seem to be as popular as it was in 2010! I still feel motivated and the warm weather is helping me drink more water! Had my 2nd dose of covid vaccine today. Usually that sort of thing put me off track i feel sorry for myself n eat the wrong food but not today! Small victory!

Not long to go before you can have veg!

Yeah it’s going very well ,… managing to stick to just protein & the oatbran … looking forward to those veg on Saturday … I had my 2nd vaccine 2 weeks ago. Your right about it not being so popular…. Suppose there’s so many ketone drinks gimmicks etc now …. People looking for the easy fix …. I had a look at them and they are so damn expensive I’ll stick with eating lol …. Hope your doing well
