I love cooking so I just throw ingredients together and hope for the best a lot, I only speak about the things that work. Theres a LOT that doesn't go so well lol

I just don't want to get bored so try as many different things as I can xx

Well done that fabulous

Thanks!

1 tablespoon of Goji berries per day are allowed. They are quite bitter (and pretty bloody expensive) but I like them!

Stick with it, I'm sure you'll see some losses soon! xx

I have to leave them in natural yogurt to soften up before I eat them lol

 

[sunnyrae]

Yesterday PV day. Working from store not home so packed myself a good lunchbox to take with me

Breakfast - Boiled egg with cottage cheese and smoked salmon
Snack - seafood sticks
Lunch - sage galette with chicken and fromage frais. Mangetout and peppers with fromage frais dip.
Snack - natural yogurt
Dinner - lemon and pepper salmon with french beans and tomatoes

Haven't mentioned up until now but thought I should say that I do 30mins of wii fit everyday. I am not an exercise fan but I quite enjoy wii fit!

I am amazed that after two and a half weeks I have NO cravings for wine or junk food. I feel MUCH better within myself. Just need to keep it up

You sound very motivated Julie, which is great to see, and you have a huge advantage over many with your passion for cooking.

Goji berries are great in cinammon cake. (Presoak gojis in a tablespoon boiling water to soften. Make normal muffin/galette mixture (I usually quadruple quantities), and stir in gojis and some cinammon. Bake in cake tin. Slice into four (if quadruple) then you know where you are each day. Freezes well and tastes like fruit cake(ish!).

 

[Julie 316]

Thanks! Definitely a passion for cooking helps!!

I'm sure cakes are lovely but I'd rather savoury every time!!

PP day yesterday

Breakfast - salmon muffins (YUMMY!)
Lunch - Grilled "peri peri" chicken with cottage cheese and chives
Snack - Seafood sticks
Dinner (cold packed lunch as I went to bingo, normally I'd have scampi and chips at bingo with some wine so big temptation avoided) Chicken leftover from lunch with a fromage frais dip, natural yogurt with goji berries.

Working from store today and going to a pub quiz straight from work so have a packed a lunch box (OH says more like a small suitcase) full of Dukan goodness to last me the day and get me through the pub dinners that everyone else will eat this evening!
