After getting back from hol on Saturday morning, I have got straight back on BC. My weight is pretty much what it was this time last year and I am now a stone heavier than I was at Christmas, which is incredibly disappointing. I feel dreadful, no energy, wobbly, a mouth full of ulcers and am desperate for some good food.
Yesterday I had:
Late B: scrambled eggs and butter, two slices of bacon and mushrooms fried in butter
L: Bovril
D: chicken curry, made with chick thighs, tinned toms, shallot, garlic, spices, coconut milk, cauli rice fried in butter
I also had half a bottle of red wine we brought back from France, just to finish it off but no more
Today I'm planning:
B: as above
L: probs as above, don't tend to do lunch at weekends, as eat early with DS
D: chicken fajitas in romaine lettuce with peppers (not too many), shallots, avocado, sour cream, little bit of salsa and grated cheddar
I've done a complete plan for the week too and shopped accordingly so there should be no excuses for not sticking with it.

Low-carb bootcamp
Starting again, again, again...

Oooh, buddies 
welcome to my little thread. Happy to have anyone along for the ride, I felt a bit weird joining the ongoing BC thread when I only lasted about two days into the summer BC.
Ready I remember you and your lovely wedding photos. Don't feel cross with yourself, we've all done it. YOu know what you have to do, you know it works and it sounds like you are ready in your mind to tackle it. And you have a fab sounding holiday to spurr you on too!
Stevie my 'baby weight' baby has just started Year 1 
so you are certainly not alone on that one!
Queen this week I menu-planned every single meal and bought just what I needed. So far it's worked well and the only additional thing I've had to buy is milk for DS (I don't drink it LC or not).
I am just back from my lunchtime excercise class and pleased to say I survivied. Only just, mind, but survivied I did! Having lunch now before a fun afternoon of meetings - oh joy!
Ahhh!! I hate this app, everytime I go into something else it takes me back to the active screen. I just wrote out a huge post and it's gone 
Anyway, thanks Chester.
Lunch ended up as a cheese omelette.
Dinner was lamb steak with haloumi (sp) kebabs
My friend and I have started a wee challenge, we both go to the same pt so have given him £20 each, first to lose a stone - winner takes all.
Is it wrong that I'm considering ubercamp for a few days?
Morning!
Oh I'm so jealous of the Camembert chester! I've been craving baked Camembert this morning.
Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs with a handful of cheese mixed in and a cup of builders tea with FF milk. I need to get cream for tea and coffee but making do with FF milk for now.
Lunch will probably be chicken and avocado salad or tuna salad
Dinner I'm not sure about yet but will see what I can find on offer at the supermarket. I quite fancy this low carb hamburger stack thing one of my friends who does LCHF made and sent me a picture of. It looked delicious - was a burger then a slice of avocado, a thin slice of tomato, grilled halloumi, more avocado and another burger. Will do a big mixed salad with it. Either that or maybe some stir fried seafood with garlic, wine and cream on some sautéed spinach.... Sorry for the essay - I'm enjoying my food at the moment, can you tell 
? I always love the food on LCHF for the first couple of days before I get a bit sick of it. Just have to ride that part out though, and I know I'll love it again.
Good luck today everyone!
Happy to cheer too, but I also don't seem to respond well if I try to really restrict my diet. I imagine I would end up falling off the wagon straight into a mountain of cake and chips!
I just had homemade mushroom stroganoff and green salad and then (a bit naughty) a big bowl of raspberries with cream for pudding . I've worked out the carbs and it's 12g net (or 24g total) which isn't wonderful but could be worse. I'm aiming for between 20 & 50g per day, so maybe today will be on the higher end.
I have also just bought the ingredients for my burger stack to have this evening! Really looking forward to that.
I'm so glad it's weekend. It's felt like a bit of a long week for some reason. Hope everyone is having a happy Friday!
Argh chester, I've fucked up too 
. I did my workout dvd this morning, so didn't have time for breakfast before we went out for a family meet up. We got to the place we were having lunch and there was a very limited menu. I was ravenous by then and didn't want to make a fuss at a family thing, so ended up having a roast dinner with potatoes and Yorkshire pudding .
Tomorrow is a new day though and I'm taking the view that it's a marathon not a sprint. I want to change my W.O.E. for good, so arguably, one day isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I don't want to do it again though, so I will be making a big effort to plan like hell for these sorts of events. Stupidly assumed every restaurant has a steak and salad on offer. Not so!
On a side note, I read that alcohol makes you feel more drunk when you are low carbing, so you probably didn't stand a chance saying no to a chippy stop after a few wines! I know I wouldn't have either .
Ok, ok. I kinda fell off the wagon too.
Haven't actually eaten anything too bad corn on the cob but I had a couple of glasses of wine tonight.
In my defence, my cousin is moving to New Zealand on Tuesday so we had a wee family meal to say goodbye to him. My 9yo ds cried for ages on the way home, partly because of me I think cause he doesn't really see me cry (apart from the X Factor and stuff)
Morning all!
So after the roast dinner of shame I am actually feeling quite motivated today. Usually that blip would have resulted in me pushing the fuck it button and going off the rails for days! Trying to see the positives .
My meal plan for today is:
Breakfast: boiled eggs and a coffee with double cream
Lunch: butternut squash and herb soup with double cream
Dinner: egg-fried cauliflower rice with stir fried pork and prawns
Snacks: cheese or strawberries and cream (I have lots of cream to use)!

Scales are back where they were pre-chipgate, so pleased with that. Got scary gym class again today, but this time I know what to expect!
Today's plan:
B: eggs, butter
L: Tuna, salad, mayo
D: chicken in parma ham, asparagus, roast cauli
Got BBQ on Saturday and desperately trying to find something to wear. This is when I get cross with myself because I know I will feel rubbish when I am out and surrounded by loads of slim lovely looking people, and i know it could be me if only i could stick to this damn diet. I always feel like I never quite get it right - either too overdressed or not dressed enough. Sigh
Oh no chester, I bet you'll look fab! I always struggle with what to wear to BBQs too. I always thought they were shorts and tshirt affairs till I went to an nct bbq and everyone was in nice summer dresses. Felt a bit . I guess it depends on the weather though. The style and beauty pages are pretty good for that sort of thing if you get stuck.
Yesterday went (sort of) to plan; I didn't have anything too carby, but I ended up having a small scoop of tuna mayo, a small tomato and some cheese for lunch then had a pork chop and the soup for dinner. I didn't have time in the end to make my soup and a 'proper' dinner due to my toddler deciding not to nap again. Oh well.
Today has been another weird meal for breakfast; I had prawns fried in garlic and coconut oil with some mayonnaise and am on my second cup of tea with cream.
Lunch will be leftover soup (it was delicious - can't believe it's fairly low carb).
Dinner I think will be grilled halloumi salad and I might incorporate cauliflower into it somehow but not decided yet.
Hope everyone else has nice days .
