You have got to try this

Afternoon all

Well I tried the new recipe and OMG it is now my favourite lunch.  This is the original recipe http://www.lowcarbzen.com/low-carb-recipes/main-courses/spicy-low-carb-crack-slaw/

I didnt have all the ingredients so I browned some mince and onion, then added 2 tablespoons chopped toms, a squirt of tom puree. Cooked that for a bit in pan then added chilli flakes, bit of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Then I added the cabbage and grated carrot and cooked for a bit longer. Done! Cant wait to try it with bacon bits. As you can see I added cheese and had mayo with it. Lovely :D


Need to look up what to do with pumpkin seeds now, kids have got loads for me out of the pumpkins.

Eeeeeek a high low carb day

Evening

I am really enjoying my food at the moment so even though its quite high for a low carb diet, as I am not putting on weight I will continue to eat better carbs rather than the lowest.

B - fruit
l - chicken, sweetcorn, onion, omelette type thing.
t - low carb lasagne with peas and carrots

Look what I bought today. 49p each, I found the biggest :D


Am planning on using half for sunday (hubby will be pleased) and the rest for lunch for me this week. Got a recipe I want to try, will give details when I make it.

who'd have thought

Evening all

well, whilst perusing some low carb blogs the other day I saw mention of something made with protein powder. Now, baring in mind I have some but didnt get on with the shakes, this was quite exciting news. So after a bit of googling I found rolls. Egg and protein powder. Was a bit dry but ok.

Still can't upload photos :(

Today I have had fruit salad for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and piri piri pulled chicken with lots of veg and a low carb bun for tea. Am totally stuffed

Walked a fair bit today. Would like to lose those pesky pounds soon lol

Have a good one

Ah well

Evening all

Well I did lose 3lbs. I have managed to put a 2 back on. Not sure how but never mind. I am still eating fruit for breakfast and even bananas but am thinking of cutting them out just in case

Today I even had lentils.  Wonder if I will put on the other pound now lol

So I costed out my meal today. Less than £2 to feed 4 of us. Lots of veggies mixed into the bolognaise and I had green beans instead of pasta. Was lovely

I am on my phone and, quite frankly, it's doing my head in. Will try to sort out tablet now I think before I throw my phone out the window

Have a good evening

I also managed a fair bit of walking and carrying heavy bags so thats good, although I didnt think so at the time!

Eeeessssh 9lbs

Good Evening

I think the title says it all. I have put on 9lbs but in my defence I was on holiday for a week, all inclusive and the only time I moved from the sunbed was to the bar or snack bar. I tried to be good, no potatoes or bread or pasta but I did have some desserts and omg turkish pancakes, and the very sugary cocktails.

So back on track today. Stocked up on fruit, veg, salad, was weightlifting carrying it home lol and walked 10 miles today.

B - fruit salad
l - chorizo with roasted veg
t - gert big sausage roll without the roll and salad

Cant stop yawning, nite nite
