Morning campers
Here is the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness
This week sees the start of Ubercamp. This is entirely optional, by the way!
The idea is that we have three very strict days, keeping our carbs under 20g each day and consuming no dairy.
If you want to take part, I have put together three days' worth of meals as a guide - one which includes eggs and one which is an egg-free plan for those of you who don't like eggs. I'll also do one today which is purely fish-based.
As well as the meal plans, I've also written shopping lists and some recipes, where necessary, and the lovely Willie has put these on the spreadsheet - just look at the tabs at the bottom.

I STS this week - complete surprise after the amount of pain killers and sitting very still. Also, out for dinner on Friday I had wine (and a tiny slice of bread).
Conversation with DH this morning
Me: Back to Bootcamp.
DH: Boo.
Me: Didn't you like your creamy scrambled eggs this morning?
DH: Yes, but they didn't feel very 'Bootcamp-y"
Me: Hmm...this is all about fun and health and giving our bodies lovely things. Bootcamp sounds a bit hard... Bootcamp is now Spa Day or Treat Day in our house.
DH: Woohoo! Treat Day!
(yes, we do actually talk like this, but not in front of other people 
)
Today will be mustard chicken from previous thread - very excited and will go out and buy swede or celeriac specially.

Lavender I love these little marital insights
sybil could you take in a pack of cooked meat, maybe sliced roast chicken or beef?
Ubercamp day one done. All the weird feeling has passed so I think I did have a mini-carb-flu.
weighed this morning, 1lb off. Getting there!

I'm off to Lidl today
. I don't have any locally but collecting DD from MILs house and there's one on the way. What should I get? Full fat yoghurt, obviously (we have all the major supermarkets here but none of them stock ff Greek yoghurt!). Anything else worth getting from Lidl?

I have been to Lidl this morning
Lidl's cream and cream cheese and butter are all much cheaper than elsewhere and nice.
I love love love their smoked trout fillets, and smoked mackerel.
And this week they have broccoli and cauliflower on offer, 69p each, and strawberries also 69p if you are bootcamp light or have DC who like them.
Eggs 99p for 6 medium free rangers.
Free range whole chickens also good value.
Baby spinach is cheaper than the big supermarkets too.
Tbh most things are cheaper and I get most stuff from Lidl these days. Enjoy!

Right, I'm back from my Lidl trip. The traffic was really slow, lots of roadworks, so my time there was very limited. Had to be at MIL's on time, you know. Also couldn't get signal on my phone, so couldn't check the recommendations here like I planned to do
.
Anyway, managed to grab 1l tub of yoghurt, lots of salami and celeriac. Not happy that I didn't see the pork scratchings..
Have made my Lidl shopping list now, thanks everyone for the suggestions!
I might need to visit MIL more often now

Ewan
I'm now looking forward to a visit to Lidl on Saturday. More excited than looking forward. Just realised I was excited in previous message. It's quite a nice feeling.

Pork scratching multipacks you say?? I shall be taking a wander to Lidl again tomorrow I feel. Obviously purely because we need washing up liquid...
Sounds lovely Ilisten I might try that.
DD is doing my HEAD in this evening, and is now being bathed by DH. Normally I would be here now devouring flapjack/chocolate until I felt less tense, so the fact that I have only fallen off the wagon as far as an apple and 2 strawberries in yogurt this evening is an achievement for me.
Btw guys I tried basil and parmesan in my scrambled eggs this morning. Whilst edible, I can't say it's worth bothering with again!
L: Small slice cold pork, slice of cheese, part fillet smoked trout, spinach, cucumber, radish, broccoli stalk and avocado
D: Stirfried pork, beansprouts, broccoli, mushrooms and egg fried cauli rice.
