I'm exceedingly pleased with myself - went out yesterday for a bit of an extended session and didn't fall off the wagon. I can totally recommend the mixed grill from Wetherspoons. The meat isn't up to *that* much but makes a good low carb meal out. The menu said it came with chips/jacket potato as well but I asked for it without them which was no problem! Yay!

Thanks for that Michael. That will save me poring over the menu on Saturday.

Today so far:

Brunch (woke up late) : 1/4 chicken with skin, cup mushrooms, 1/2 cup spinach, 2 fried eggs, 2 slices gouda, 1 bratwurst, 2 tbsp mayo

Dinner: Parmasan chicken wings, 1 chicken thigh, chicken pieces, 2 tbsp mayo, cup romaine, 1/2 cup spinach, 10 olives

Snack: Mock danish (omg lush)

I also recommend the chicken breast with bacon and cheese, you can ask for it without the bbq sauce, or just have it on the side instead. (wetherspoons lol)

Well folks after a totally legal day yesterday the scales went up again this morning, am getting right fed up with this now, so much so that I caved and had some bread at lunchtime sorry folks.

 

[JoanneM]

Thats actually what I had last week Bren. Ordered it with the baked potato coz I knew that wouldnt tempt me in the slightest whereas Id pick at chips. Think the barman fancied me mind you coz he pointed out to everyone else where the coniments were but went and got me butter for my potato which I had no intention of eating anyway, lol.

I find the scales fluctuate so much when Im on Atkins that it really is pointless weighing more than once a week. I still do it mind you, lol.

 

[Quak]

I know but mine are only going one way currently so it matters not how often I weigh and how good I am - seriously annoyed with it and myself.

 

[JoanneM]

It could be down to the stress though coz you have been going through a lot recently.

 

[Quak]

I know, it is just so unfair - most people lose weight with stress........not me

 

[JoanneM]

Losing weight isnt your priority right now so theres no point beating yourself up about it. Stay legal and away from the scales for a while and they will soon be going in the other direction.

 

[Quak]

I know, I know, just everything seems to be getting the better of me - must make an effort to stop feeling so bloody sorry for myself.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh honey don't be daft, you have lots on your mental/emotional plate right now - and there will be moments where it's all a bit much - but that's what we're here for, let it all out. You are one of the kindest and most supportive people I've met here, and it's now your turn for some support xxxxx

 

[Quak]

Stop it, seriously, or I will end up blubbing

 

[JoanneM]

Sometimes you are allowed to feel sorry for yourself you know so you certainly shouldnt be feeling bad about doing so. It is ok to put yourself first now and again.

 

[rosebug]

I agree. I feel sorry for myself all the time. I think you're a wonder, Bren.

oops to compound it all the MiL bought us a chinese takeaway for dinner after we sorted our her new dvd/video machine - the only bright spot being my fortune cookie which read........................

the weekend ahead predicts enjoyment (so there - it must be true lol)

 

[ladyfelsham]

And fortune cookies are always right!

I love that scene out of the Big Chill, one of them is telling the others about a fortune cookie her friend opened which said "You'll never amount to anything."
