I took my grandmother shopping and was given a big packet (50g) of crisps (or chips for American readers)....I was so tempted all the way home in the car and had the 'one packet won't hurt' mentality. BUT then I stopped and thought I'm feeling good, I'm sticking to it and I don't want to mess that up. SO, I shoved them in the back of the cupboard, when my friend comes over later I will pass them on to him!!

SO anyway now that's over I'm still really proud of myself. Here is today's menu

B: 4 hotdog sausages (0.4g per sausage)
L: no idea yet maybe burger with lettuce for bread

D: roasted butternut squash, steamed asparagus and broccoli with lamb chops

snack: some s/f jelly (jello) if hungry.

---------

Also, here's my recipie for egg muffins:
This makes 4 'muffins' and I use one of those rubber muffin trays - if you have a home bargains then they're something like £1.99 in there.

Ingedients:
3 eggs
2 slices of bacon (although I've started experimenting and using ham or chorizo etc)
couple of mushrooms sliced up
pinch of cheese

method:

mix the eggs together and pour in the muffin tray, add the meat, mushrooms/peppersand give a poke with a fork to make sure its all covered in egg and then sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top.
I use hardly any cheese just enough to brown and give a cheesy taste and pop in the oven (gas mark 7ish) for about 25 minutes.

When you remove them from the muffin tray place on a cooling rack so they don't get soggy.

They're perfect you can put any fillings you want....sometimes i want mushrooms other times peppers - i love them!!

I know how atkins/low carbing makes me feel so I always wonder how I manage to fall back off the wagon.

Important things I've vowed to do from today are:
Weekly Weigh ins - I'm a scale slave I find it too handy to just hop on/off the scales and this can push me either way. If i see a loss I get motivated, if I don't then I get very discouraged and upset with myself and fall into the 'whats the point' trap.

Secondly - EXERCISE! I love the buzz from exercise once I start doing it so I'm going to make special effort to do at least 1 hour each day. It'll not only be good for me but it'll be good for my little dog!!!

So todays menu!!!

B: 2 egg muffins (OH my god these are a total lifesaver!)

S: 5 cherry toms

L: 2 hamburger steaks with salad

D: beef kebabs and butternut squash chips
