Week 9 - Spring Low Carb Bootcamp - our last fortnight

[BIWI]

Morning all

the Spreadsheet

I hope that the scale are kind to you this morning.

Looks like it's going to be a lovely week, weather-wise - always makes me look at the stuff in my wardrobe and wonder what will fit

... but there are still two weeks to go, so a chance to drop a few more pounds as well.

Good luck for the week ahead

I baked that bread today, and it's really good. Much better than the Tom Kerridge one - it's still a little cakey, but much less so, and a very passable alternative to bread.

But mine didn't rise as much as the picture - not quite sure why. Never mind, it was lovely. Will try toasting it tomorrow as well. Toast is something I do miss actually - with lashings of Lurpak and Marmite

Where did you get your flaxseed meal from if you don't mind me asking?

Lovely dress Hesdead

I got mine from Sainsbury's, Ignoranus This one

So we had our first barbecue of the year tonight. I love barbecues, as they're perfect for low carbers! We had halloumi, with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and coriander, then a butterflied leg of lamb, which I'd marinated overnight, in olive oil, garlic, lime, cumin, chilli, paprika, coriander and chilli. And cauliflower couscous. And a 'side' order of sausages and chicken thighs - all cooked to be eaten during the week, rather than tonight, as it was a massive amount of food

Oh, and I made an attempt at harissa (as I forgot that I didn't have any). Full fat yoghurt, chilli mayo, Sriracha chilli sauce, lime, black pepper and paprika.

Am stuffed. And have enough food for lunch every day this week!

Captain that was a-may-zing. Far better than I imagined. Thank you (p.s. don't tell BIWI I put sweetcorn on top...)

Sweetcorn?! WTAF?! Do you realise how carby that is?!

Just 1tbsp, so about 4g on the whole 2 serving pizza I think hope .

In my defence, I was very low on veg in the fridge, so had to make do with what was kicking around!

Thanks for the link to the flax BIWI, I wasn't sure what I needed to buy. Your BBQ sounds really lovely, the weather went really cold here this afternoon so no Outdoor eating for us. I've had a sneaky weigh and being the first week back I'd lost 6lb of water weight in 4 days. Today is day 6 and ive not lost any more but I suppose it took over a year to creep the stone back on so its not going to drop back off.
