What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Goonergal]

Evening all. Sooo much to catch up on.

@Chook stupendous effort on the fasting. Full of admiration. I’ll head over to the fasting section to take a look at your post.

@zauberflote my pom poms are ready to lead your cheering squad

@shelley262 great stuff at the gym

@Rachox hope you’re managing the stairs

Another hungry day today. Was ravenous by lunchtime. Dragged a couple of colleagues to the local cafe for 2 fried eggs and 3 rashers bacon. Dinner was chicken wings marinated in butter, lime juice and zest and pink Himalayan salt. Drizzled them with Hotel Chocolat cocoa and chilli finishing oil. Dessert was almond butter mixed with extra thick Jersey cream and 1 Hotel Chocolat 100% baton.

Gym induction was just a personal trainer demonstrating machines and checking my posture and how did the exercise on the machines think I will ache later!

Well done on the gym induction, did you use the pool and sauna afterwards?

 

[DJC3]

So we have a gym doe, fabulous faster and a flautist who flouts the notion of eschewing chocolate - not to mention snoring spouses. It is all go on this forum. Hope you all had good days and didn't feel the need to resign from anything.
Lots of tea and water for me today until 14.00 hrs. Cheese sandwich in Dr Almond black bread and cold, pigeon size, chicken . Beef and pork mince with tomatoes, mushrooms and swede and celeriac cubes hand cut by yours truly. Some stock and water and finally thickened with coconut cream.
Highlights today: No more joints seized up and recently freed ones about 90%; stacked 2 wheelbarrows of logs; not hungry. I await seized up joints in a couple of days.
Edited to add cleaning my green bin was also a highlight - just to show how we have fun in the fens.

I’m glad your joints are easing up at last.

 

[Rachox]

@Rachox how are you managing those stairs?

@Rachox hope you’re managing the stairs

The short answer is slowly! The longer answer is ABC on the way up, Able foot, Bad foot then Crutch, then reverse on the way down CBA! Simples when you know how!

Edit to add. The hand that isn’t operating the crutch is firmly gripping the bannister!

Of course my main motivation to get there this am was the fun bits! Had 10 mins in jacuzzi highlight of my day

Ooh yes, hadn’t noticed you are both sporting the T shirt!

Haha good, probably helped your aching muscles too.

Thanks. Knee is very rare and takes a while to fully free. Just need to avoid red meat, cheese and most filling foods - doddle.

Evening everyone. Feels like lots to catch up tonight! Ended up being an OMAD day as work was so busy I missed breakfast & lunch. A lot of coffee consumed though.
I say OMAD, it was a feast that probably was as much a 3 whole meals - I was starving

Salad of lettuce, cucumber, spring onion and mayo with 3, yes 3, of Morrison’s best scotch beef quarter pounders (2g carb each), each one topped with a slice of smoked bacon, fried mushrooms and cheese
May or may not - who am I kidding, will have some form of chocolate with a cuppa in a while

 

[dunelm]

A day of eggs and mince.
Lunch; a Thai pork and egg omelette.
Dinner; a home made pork and beef burger, melted cheese on top and two fried eggs.
A piece of my home made chocolate.
Nero D’avola

@shelley262 I had images of drill sergeants barking at a line of hungry flabby recruits Glad it is simply learning the ropes!
@Brunneria I imagine the latter. That’s how you get used to it!
@ianpspurs I bet you are a Scrabble champion and a secret author of Wodehouse fanfic way to go on the celeriac cubes! Sounds yummy all together. I guess you have learned to enjoy non-seized-up days when you can get them? Avoiding all those foods. Ugh.
Thank you @Goonergal! Fluff away at me! You deserved those luscious meals.
@Rachox good going on the stairs
@Emma_369 even though you couldn’t pay me to eat them, your burgers are smelling soooo good all the way over here. Yum yum umami smells!

Wodehouse has been a favourite of mine since schooldays - I love the Fry and Laurie incarnations of J and W. Seized up days should be few and far between provided I am careful about how much red meat etc I eat. The issue is dealing with hunger based on my dislikes. I am not food intolerant - just intolerant You are quite a wordsmith yourself - take care.

@jjraak am not sure about avocado either, the fat content has made it a NO food for years. But going to give it a go in small amounts.
@maglil55 Where do you live, those are some of my favorite shops too. your ideas for chicken, may have to steal all of them
@DJC Am just starting my journey into the weird and wonderful ingredients low carbers use. This week bought Coconut oil, Ghee and after a lot of research and agonising a pack of Splenda. not sure how i am going to use the last two yet.... Also am suposed to be emptying the cupboards in preparation for move in about six weeks.
@ianpspurs Also love President butter, the factory is just down the road from our "new" house.
Have a great evening everyone, am off to watch Masterchef.

snack , 1 cracker and 20g stilton cheese
edited to add snack

@SlimLizzy and @jjraak Give avocado a go but ensure they are ripe. Smashed on LC toast and topped with a perfectly poached egg, in salad or mashed, mixed with a tin of mackerel in olive oil, apple cider vinegar and chia seeds, spring onions and grated cheddar they have become a staple of mine but I am a very rum cove.

 

[zauberflote]

@SlimLizzy sorry you are still under the weather and that is one seriously functional (my very highest praise for tech) app you use there! It’s you that has to avoid lots of fat, do I remember correctly? Ah I see by your next post yes it is you. Make sure you pack the chocolate in the”Kitchen Open First!!!” box.
And,,,,,, no ballet class for me tonight. I very gently wrenched my back just a teeny tiny bit. Ice, ibuprofen, no pain now. But I do not wish to challenge it one little bit. Waaahhhhh. Have to walk in the dark on icy roads as penance for being stoopid. Or, you know, maybe no walk either. We’ll see. Sleep well everyone!

Oh dear, sounds a bit depressing, but I guess better than the alternative if they are the cause of the grief.
