Morning all. Becstar all looks fine assuming the dressing was low in sugar.

B - full fat Greek yoghurt. Still a pound up. Am eating a lot, but don't think I am in Ketostis which is weird. Everything I am eating is very low carb and I am not drinking. Shock

Back to the gym today even though I hurt from Wednesday.

Lucy have you tried the Shred? it's 29 mins a day but pretty intense and i definitely saw results with it :)
headache just kicking in here... Feel like I'm hungover but without the booze- but 3lb down ( the one i gained yesterday took another two with it') Yay ketosis may be starting.
Off to drink a gallon of water and snarf some scrambled eggs and bacon.

Morning chaps.

I'm not starting bootcamp proper until Monday. I'm still wobbling along with my slightly lapsed version for a few more days. My Super LC Online Shop is booked and I'll do a big fridge clear out tomorrow. Gawd knows what I'll find..

Two poorly children here today so I'm at home climbing the walls so am around to generally burble on and answer questions if I can (I'm not an expert but an enthusiastic LC info-gatherer; specialist area budget low-carb grub Grin )

Report
MrsHerculePoirot · 04/01/2013 09:08

Becstar it looks like good choices, although be careful with some salad dressings. I always ask for my dressing on the side when out as I can then assess if it is sugary or made with balsamic and use as much little as necessary. I have never had a restaurant have a problem with that!

Just a reminder for those who are vegetarian that you CAN eat nuts on Bootcamp and there is a slightly different set of rules

lucy I second the 30 day Shred dvd, did some last year and you could really feel the difference. You need to buy some weights though, I got some from argos half price. Planning to start next week when kids back at school.

froufroulala · 04/01/2013 09:46

Starting day 3 here. Have lost 3lbs so far but realise this will be water. Energy levels seem better too. Have a good day everyone.

LucyVFood · 04/01/2013 09:56

PrettyPirate, which weights did you use? There are some Davina ones in Argos for a tenner, would those do?

Report
PrettyPirate · 04/01/2013 10:04

These are the ones! Started with lighter ones but after a week I found them too light and used the medium ones.

OMG Thank you BIWI I am having less sugar cravings after meals, and can't believe food tastes so sweet... Thx for your encouragement, it really gave me a good kick up the arse to get going with this.

I have last 3lb already, i am quite frankly astonished and a little pleased with myself, still v much learning as I go but discovering the delights of cream in coffee as I go!!

Thirsty al the time, no headache yet but no massive energy slump either.

Had a slip up and absent mindedly scarfed a couple of squares of ds2 choc... Horrendous stomach cramps but I'm actually quite glad as I won't be reaching for that again Grin

Morning all losers!

I'm starting to feel a bit jittery as it's day 3 of Bootcamp/ phase 1 and and I feel perfectly normal Hmm

Last time, by day 3 I was on my knees Shock although I did give up caffeine as well so perhaps that's what it was. Anyway, I know I'm not eating or drinking anything I shouldn't be so...

Can't help thinking a nice carb withdrawal headache or two would be comforting though

Morning all

Felt much better yesterday, so thankfully no lurgy. A headache last night, but that was probably down to tiredness.

Bratwurst & egg for breakfast again. Will be having an omlette with Leftover pork for dinner, not sure about lunch yet but I'llrustle something up.

Tomorrow I'll be on a train from 10.30 till 4.30. Any suggestions for cheap snacky bits? A couple of boiled eggs? Any other suggestions welcomed Smile

GreenyEyes · 04/01/2013 10:38

Cheap snacky bits -

Sticks of cheese, slices of ham/ chicken? Cocktail sausages?

But heavy on the processed side but I'm thinking non-soggy Grin

GreenyEyes RE cheaper snacks, I quite like to make up a crustless quiche / fritatta type effort and cut it into finger-sized strips for daytime snackage. Tis budget-friendly because you can bung lots of fridge remnants into it. this is quite a good recipe and easily adaptable. Good for lunchboxes too.
