On a mission
Hi guys,
well its another one of the OH steam train and beer festival weekends (regulars will spot a trend here). Last time we went in our camper van to Wales and I stuck 100% to LT. BUT this time the OH has treat me to a posh hotel Bed and Breakfast and evening meal.
OMG were my first thoughts - how could he do this to me but then I got my head round that he had good intentions and thought it would be a treat and reward for how well I have done so far. Anyway I have studied my Atkins book and this is my plan:
Breakfast: 1 fried egg, 2 pieces bacon, 2 tbspn mushrooms = 249 cals and 2.1 grams carb
Lunch: LT flapjack = 191 cals and 8 grams carb
Dinner: some kind of plain fish/chicken dish with a small side salad = approx 250 cals and 2 grams carbs.
And of course loads and loads of water!!
This should total approx 700 cals but only 12 grams carbs which is more cals than LT but significantly less carbs.
There is also a pool so planning a couple of swims and a nice bit of relaxation
Really hope this works out. My main worry is that once I eat something I won't be able to stop and the greedy food monster will take control of me but my will is strong (as I write this anyway) and really looking forward to a nice break away. wish me luck xx
