Throwing new fuel on the Bootcamp Camp Fire

[BIWI]

Here is the new, shiny thread. Only three weeks or so to go until we swing into really strict mode!

Morning all (bloss here).

Having felt like HELL ON EARTh yesterday, I went to be and was asleep by 9. DCs were asleep by 6.30pm.

We all overslept this morning.

Got back from school run to find the box with the beans from the exploded bean bag had exploded again all the driveway. So me, in the torrential rain, scooping up a billion beans with a dustpan and brush. Arghh! At least i wasn't still hungover.

Didn't have time to weigh this morning which is probably no bad thing. Wanted to do run today but my back is hurting

Breakfast was 3 chicken drumsticks.

Hi Bloss/Dosh - poor old scooping up the beanbag innards! The things we have to do!

Is there a weigh in thread/link? I havent' recorded anything on a spreadsheet for a while so not sure what's happening....

Urgh, bean bag beans are the most horrible thing ever. They must be even worse in the rain. You poor thing.

Bought a battery for the scales and was amazed to find I was a pound down! Now 11 stone 2 lbs. :) After a few days of clean eating my husband has dropped 5 lbs. Just goes to show how much water retention you get when eating a lot of processed food, even if it is low carb.

On the down side I have now caught his cold and am sitting wrapped in a blanket, drinking tea and snotting everywhere. Blegh.

Son is apparently enjoying Uni. Posted on the dreaded Facebook that he can't remember much about last night but there is a shopping trolley in their hallway. I think he's going to be ok!

Golden - beans plus rain plus a bad back - you get the picture. It was total carnage. They kept sticking to the outside of the bag, the dustpan, omigod - I wish I'd taken a picture of it now.

Glad DS is ok! Oh UNI days, that takes me back.

BIWI the paleo solution doesn't really give any quantities, just says meals should be made of protein, veggies and fat but mentions that meat should be lean cuts and fat should come from olive oil. No dairy including butter!

Oh, forgot to weigh this morning. TOM arrived yesterday and was heavier than usual so felt quite drained this morning and just went back to bed after school run. Will weigh tomorrow.

Thanks BIWI will get him to just start trying it..

Had a great work out at the gym and just had lunch - Gammon and egg.
Skipped Breakfast.

nigella here is the link for the spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvRbpLOgvgpTdFNqbHVfbGdVeTBidnVhNTdVcURNdXc#gid=0

I'm going to have to do the LBD spreadsheet on my own I think, as FiddledeFat seems to have disappeared!

halfthesize - I had porridge for brekkie for a long time - i was heavier than now but I think that was more down to the nuts chocolate and wine I think he would be fine with porridge. Dh has muesli for brekkie and low carb most of the rest of the time and he has lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks.

Lunch was two chicken thighs with suede mashed with cream and butter. please tell me suede is ok.....?

Swede is indeed OK! And beautiful with butter and black pepper

it was lush.

OMG I have just realied that I have said I have had leather for my lunch. Mashed with cream and butter. What a dick. Yes BIWI - swede, not suede.

BIWI i've been having a fiddle with the spreadsheet, and think i might almost have it set up for LBD - i think you've emailed me in the past with the veg list so i can email it to you to check it's how you want it?

I did a double take at the suede for lunch!

BIWI, could you put up your list of veg carb counts please?

Struggling today for some reason. Maybe it's the weather.

So far today:
B - yoghurt and blackberries (carby, but delicious)
L - baked salmon and salad

Dinner will be roast chicken with lots of veg.

Allowed veg list, from the original thread:

Willie - that would be fab. Do you still have my e-mail address or do you want me to PM you with it?

biwi have located email address and you have mail!

Well done Willie - I'm also happy to help out with spreadsheet management if you ever need a hand.

We have a spreadsheet! We shall go to the ball!

Wonderful work by Willie there. I shall dub it the Spreadsheet of Wonderfulness this time around.

Hello campers!

I got down to 11st 4 and looked quite reasonable in my LBD at my aforementioned Very Glam Event.

I drank too much vino collapso and felt like shit for two days and am now back up to 11st 8lb

hell, it was worth it

Not much low carb stuff in the house, might have to do something creative with frozen prawn until the delivery arrives tomorrow.

I'll be back on message and off the sauce for LBDBC, promise!

Also happy to help with spreadsheet if any is needed. Do shout, I'm a bit of a geek.

BIWI I have cauliflower down as having 5g/100g - whose right your data or mine....- i hope it's you, it's quite a big difference, don't you think?

Rose Elliot has plumped for the following values

3.3g cauliflower
4g for broccoli
Leeks she has given a massive 12.4g/100g
6.2g aubergine

It's all very confusing.

And tomatoes are only 3.1g - I thought they were borderline no no.

Evening

Lunch was 3 slices if thin ham and a couple o pieces of cheese.
Dinner is: turkey breast roast with carrots, savoy cabbage and butternut squash mashed with a bit if utterly butterly... Cooking as i write yum!!

When do we start weighing in on this new spreadsheet?
