What are we eating today?

[Spinoza]

Oh dear, it's like a confessional in here today.

Bless me father for I too have sinned, and on my first day! Opened wine just now to have with lovely early lamb dinner with children, as we're both back to work tomorrow and just wanted to, will split the bottle with OH, and then that's really really it for alcohol till the 21st at my work do. *draws another line in the sand*

What's my penance then?

Susie I did of course spend half the morning on the loo - stupid stupid me.

James, fab loss in one day - nice work there!

ETA - I did a run this afternoon though - 6 miles, and it was great. Should get out with the club tomorrow night too if I get home from work in time (no idea what's waiting in there for me after almost 2 weeks off!)

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh no Water, sorry to hear about the loo hun - but sometimes these things (eating lots of choc) just have to happen. Enjoy the wine!

 

[Spinoza]

No no no Susie, you're supposed to be laying a guilt-trip on me! If you're lovely like this then I'll never behave! xxx

Good on you for your walk today - how's the ankle holding up these days?

[LVLLM]

how do you cook your pork belly? do you get the slices?

 

[Jim]

I fry mine Vicky, like chops and stuff.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yes hun I get the slices, I pop them on an oven tray, cover with foil and bake for 30 mins or thereabouts, then smear with Dijon and put on a bed of lettuce or spinach (which sometimes has a squirt of mayo on it)

 

[LVLLM]

Thanks ive been frying mine too like Jim said but what a mess they make!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yes, lots of fat splatter!

 

[LVLLM]

MESSY!

What's the deal with Thorntons diabetic choc? I had a look at the back of the bag of diabetic toffee and it said 55g-ish of carbs. Is there a particular type of diabetic choc you guys munch on?

Lunch- Chicken with pepper
Dinner - not sure, probably egg omelette

S: Toasted flaked almonds

Got a reading of 'traces' on my ketostix this morning. Relieved to see i'm getting back into ketosis because it took forever last time I fell off the wagon

 

[*Michael*]

Hey J2, how did you manage over xmas? Did you stay strong?

 

[J2BLUE]

Hey J2, how did you manage over xmas? Did you stay strong?

I fought it Christmas day and caved in boxing day! I think I then had 2.5 days back on it, went mad because the sticks weren't turning and was off it until Sunday. I'm back on the straight and narrow now though

It's strange because I know I can do this now and I know i'm going to get there. Time just doesn't seem to go fast enough. That probably sounds stupid but i've been obese for about 12 years. I just want to feel what normality feels like!

Thanks for asking How did you do?
