[Dietkitty]

Now that's the flexibility of CC right there Have an amazing lunch, enjoy every mouthful xx

 

[Elanor]

Hope you had a lovely lunch! It sounds fabulous

 

[ladyfelsham]

Lunch was lovely - nice to have a change from Italian cuisine . Ruined it a bit though by enjoying a few glasses of frizzante when I got home

 

[Elanor]

Ooo, I have not had the pleasure of a frizzante! Sounds interesting Each day is a new day, wine isn't usually something to regret Hope today has gone smoother

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yep been pretty good today, Frizzante is sparkling white wine and it's soooo nice when it's warm weather

Hi Susie

 

[ladyfelsham]

Hey Denn how you doing? x

Menu for today all sorted -

B - huge omelette with spinach and pancetta, tea
L - courgetti with toms, banana milkshake
D - lemon chicken with salad

Yum!

 

[Elanor]

Frizzante sounds right up my street. Wine is one of my weaknesses.

Brekkie and dinner sound yummy! I may well have to do lemon chicken next week, I'm craving it!

 

[ladyfelsham]

I ended up changing things a bit and had courgetti with lemon juice and grilled chicken on top with a little pesto - lush!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Phew what a scorcher today - quite light on food so am celebrating with some ice cream - spagnola (vanilla with cherries) mmmm (187 per 100g, which seems pretty good to me!).

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all - week 1 WI and I've lost 5lbs. Really pleased with that, as there were a few cal heavy moments along the way .

Off to lunch at the Buccaniere, will probably skip the pasta starter and have a mixed grill or similar.

Have a good one!

Late - well so much for that theory LOL. Had a tomatoey pasta, then gorgeous pork with melted cheese on top oops...but am so full, no dinner needed!

 

[Lottie12]

RESULT Well done Susie. 5lb is a fab loss and eating yummy grub to boot. Really pleased for you x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks Lottie It's not bad considering there was alcohol and ice cream in the mix too!

Weather is getting warm - my house is lovely and cool downstairs but upstairs is like a furnace - I couldn't get the a/c to work properly and really suffered last night. Have just ordered two portable cooler things, the ones that you put water/ice into, they are fab and very energy efficient, whereas the a/c isn't. First one arrives Wednesday, can't wait to try it out.

Food good so far -

B - 2 eggs on light toast, tea
L - turkey breast seared in oil, on wilted spinach and with lemon mayo dressing
D - same but with pesto dressing

I know it seems like a lot of oil but the stuff is impossible to avoid here so thought I may as well incorporate it into the count. Am trying to avoid bread and pasta for now too, which helps.

Have a lovely Bank Holiday Monday, all x

 

[Elanor]

5lbs is brilliant!! especially with all the yummy things you have been having. Today's menu sounds lovely, like pretty much all of your menus I love spinach! Must eat more of it....

 

[Rachgleeson]

Hi Susie, I am back again. Haven't read through your diary yet but I am guessing you have finally made the move . Xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Hiya Rach - nice to see you back . Yep, I've moved to Italy now, been here three months and am loving it!

Fail on the diet this week, put on 2lbs, too much eating out! Today am a friend's place for a big roast dinner, so will knuckle down tomorrow .

 

[Elanor]

2lbs on isn't too bad, you are still 3lbs lighter than a couple of weeks ago

Have a lovely dinner with your friend

 

[Kat1e]

Hi Susie,
as long as we keep trying, then it will come off. Hope you had a great evening out & back to it now
I need to focus post a week of vino...

[Stackhead]

Are we knuckling down together then Susie? I'm fully knuckled today, how about you?

On a aside - have you found that your general day to day diet has changed since making the move? Have you started eating the holy grail of diets - the mediterrean diet?

 

[Rachgleeson]

Hope you enjoyed your meal with your friend.

2lb you will have that gone before you know it, and probably more to go with it.

What diet are you following? Or Are you keeping it easy and calorie counting?
