Dinner was great....I am now on my 3rd glass of wine so I should be fast asleep within the next half hour...that's how red wine gets me

Carbs are a little on the high side but I've noticed it happens about one day per week, so let's just say that "today is the day"

No chocolate as yet though so there's a good sign.

Excellent day today!

What a week......Hmmmm....I seem to say that every week

The last few days have been really quite stressful with Easter and chocolatteee. There I go again. I don't think a week's gone by without me mentioning chocolattteee.

I need to bring more attitude into my life, strut my stuff and be more haute. Maybe that will get me to do some cardio ;o}

For my weigh-in this week I have lost 1 1/2lb
Total carbs for this week has worked out at 351
Average carbs for the week is 50 carbs per day.

Losing weight this week has surprised me! Especially after my chocolate extravaganza over Easter.

Only went to the toning tables 3 times over the last week and I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't done any cardio workouts! What a whimp!

I haven't had time to measure myself this week so I will leave it until the end of this month

Trying to be good is sooo difficult, especially when there is still chocolate in the house. I've managed to stay off the normal chocolate and instead had my low-carb chocolate bars and it is working at the moment.

Just got to keep going for tomorrow's weigh-in.

Again, it's my weigh-in day tomorrow and I'm not quite sure if the scales will go one way or the other

Lunch: nothing :o)
Dinner: Mexican fajita with beef, chicken, shrimp, onions and mixed sweet peppers on 3 fahitas
Supper: 2 pieces of high cocoa chocolate

Total carbs for today around 39 www.karenscckitchen.com

Sooo not hungry until later this afternoon. I know I should have had something, but after the ice cream after lunch and then the cheese and biscuits last night I was done!

The bike ride to the local cafe changed to my son and husband bike riding and me making excuses to go to the supermarket (which needed the car to get there coz it's soooo far away - NOT), so I drove and they cycled. What an excuse !

Yes, the chocolate is officially back in my life BUT did you notice, I didn't snarf any of the crap chocolate that the kids eat....soooo proud of myself 

There are still some bags of chocs left in the garden, I know it. May have a little gardening spree tomorrow 

My weigh-in is on Wednesday and I was sure that it would be a good weigh-in, but after yesterday I'm not too sure now. It usually takes a couple of days to get through my system if I'm mega good...fingers crossed

The chocolates are in their eggs ready for Sunday........just sitting there in a carrier back ready for Sunday......staring at me from behind the cupboard door ready for Sunday...

No, I haven't had any.....yet  :o)

Happy Easter !

Dinner: Bowl of tomato & basil soup
Snack: 2 chocolate maltesers and 1 peanut butter cup
Snack: 4oz of tomorrow's pulled pork in bbq sauce

Total carbs for today around 49  www.karenscckitchen.com

I should have had more at dinner, but I wasn't all that hungry. At 9.30pm I found myself in the fridge twiddling my thumbs and opened tomorrow's lunch. Oh well. At least it was only around 10 carbs.

Bought lots of chocolate for the weekend though! Will be doing a small Easter Egg hunt in the garden with the kids from the street. I do it every year no matter where I am. And if they don't find it all, I usually find it later in the day :o)

My son is saying he is too old for that kind of thing now and I should just give him the chocolate. I say: "If you want chocolate then you will have to go find it in the garden"

Am I a cool mum or what !

Yes, I had a couple of small maltesers while packaging up the chocolate but that'll part of the fun of Easter.

Hoping you all have a wonderful Easter weekend and if you are going to have chocolate, make sure it's high cocoa chocolate

Snack: 1 low-carb bar.
Dinner: Cup of broccoli cheese soup and caesar salad without croutons.
Snack: 1 packet of low-carb crisps

Total carbs for today around 57  www.karenscckitchen.com

Talk about hunger pangs! What a day!

I managed to stay with the low-carb snacks today but I would rather have had a bar of chocolate. In fact, I think if I'd have just had the bar of chocolate I wouldn't have been so hungry.....does that make any sense?

For my weigh-in though I have stayed the same

Total carbs for this week has worked out at 284

Average carbs for the week is 41 carbs per day.

The numbers aren't all that bad but with the holiday cakes still in my system I think my body is hanging on to the leftovers as long as it can.

I know next week will be a good week - If I could just stay off the chocolate

Do you think I had too many wraps today? Hmmmm? Although I had 4 wraps AND a piece of chocolate, I still only had 41 carbs for the day.

Well, today has been challenging. Have been hungry ALL DAY!!! The only reason I had a good carb day is because I had the bars in the car, I had the meatballs ready in the fridge and I've been stuck in an office! 

Otherwise, and I mean this sincerely folks, it would have been a giant sized pizza!!! Ooooo pizzaaaa....

Steaming through the weekend! Spent most of the day in the garden cutting back shrubs and mulching.

I was using the old fashioned privet hedge cutter and I now have biceps like Popeye. And they throb like mad and it's taking all my strength to type this message

Todays exercise has been dealt with in the garden so I don't feel too bad about not doing cardio this week. We started around 10am and didn't finish until 4pm.

One word....Knackered! I think a painkiller is on the books :)

Oh so good today. Getting back into the swing of things. I am doing this earlier than normal because there is a big storm on it's way and I can't get used to the American storms!!! Soooo loud!

Went to toning tables today but still not got to cardio. That's about 3 weeks since I did the treadmill.

I don't understand it. I was loving it and all of a sudden I got busy then I went on holiday and now I can't make myself walk in the bloody door

Maybe a psychologist can answer that one

P.S. May have some chocolate later

B'fast: 1 low-carb & coffee 
Snack: 1 low-carb bar
Lunch: Leftover pulled chicken and lettuce on 1 low-carb wrap
Dinner: Creole rubbed pork joint with sweet potatoes & roasted sweet peppers. 1/2 cup of fruit smoothy.

Total carbs for today around 39

Dinner was great....for me at least. Apparently, I put too much Creole rub over the joint and everyone complained it was burning their lips as well as their mouths. I thought it just tingled a little.
Strange really because I can't eat English mustard because it's too hot. It like blows my sinuses to smithereens, but I can eat curries and spicy rubs and sauces.

I also did a shop today and had a little time to walk rather than rush through the isles and passed the veggie/fruit smoothies fridge so I bought 3 different types and we all tried them after dinner.
Each one was disgusting when drank by itself, but my son mixed them all together to try (like teenagers do) so I thought I'd try it too and they tasted great!

Problem is it's 25 carbs for 1 cup!

Hmmmm have to be careful with that one. I think I may just stick to my mega multi-vitamin tablets 

Anyway, I detract from the subject at hand.

Good kind of day. Not too hungry during the day but was starving by dinner

Didn't have a very good organized day. Yes, I had plenty of snacks in the car but that's most of what I ate today.

Two weeks have gone by since I last weighed myself. That's because I was on holiday last week and thought it better not to bother weighing until this week.

My holiday week was spent putting weight on....4lb to be exact

For my weigh-in though I have only gained 1lb

Total carbs for the last two weeks has worked out at 733

Average carbs per week is 366

Average carbs for the 14 days is 52 carbs per day.

I knew I ate too many cakes last week when I was away. I promise next week will be brilliant. No holidays and hardly any chocolate

I don't think I've done all that bad. I actually put a whopping...

Each day is becoming easier. I just have to detox from my holiday but it's taking longer than anticipated

Didn't get to any gyms today. Not even the toning tables. I will be there tomorrow though, I promise

I expect you already know that I'm not going to lose the two pounds that I put on last week on my holiday for tomorrow's weigh-in :o(

I will stay positive and just say.....

It's getting better. I managed to keep my low-carb eating to a reasonable number today.
I only went to the toning tables today and I am working tomorrow so I may not get time to go. 

I'm NOT an evening gym person, but if all else fails I will just do another session at the toning tables. At least it's something 
I do actually miss the treadmill cinema. I will endeavor to go Wednesday 
To add a little stress to the week: I've got 2 days to lose the couple of pounds that I put on in Florida....what do you think?

If I did then I must apologize. I meant tomorrow 
So today we traveled about 6hrs back home via Starbucks (as you probably noticed) and then it was all systems go when we got back with dealing with the mail, washing clothes, shopping for food, shopping for spring flowers and cooking dinner. So, yes, I meant tomorrow will be my first official low-carb day

Well....this is my last night in Clearwater Beach, Florida. I will miss this place. The Gulf coast is spectacular!!! Still not been able to update my Website. Come on Webs! We're already in the millennium!!! B'fast: 2 eggs and ham Lunch: 1 packet of low carb crisps/potato chips Snack: 2 cups of popcorn Dinner: tuna salad with 1 garlic breadstick and 2 lousy mouthfuls of vanilla slice. 1 glass of red. Total carbs for today around 45 www.karenscckitchen.com The 2 mouthfuls of vanilla slice is because my son turned his head for a second and I downed it quick sharp :-) sad but true. Traveling day tomorrow. Heading to Chattenooga for an overnight stay on the way home....I can feel a song coming on...... "Pardon me dear....is that the Chattenooga choo choo".... Someone carry it on coz I can't remember the rest ! So today was relatively good but I am not calculating this week's carbs until next Wednesday and I will just use the average for 2 weeks instead of 1. That way I will be able to make up for the over eating I've done this week. Eating disorders suck!! I've noticed that everyone else at the restaurant seems to be eating either deep dish pizzas and spaghetti galore. I'm talking giant sized portions - like massive pizzas, followed by cakes full of cream and gorgeous, delicious tasty stuff like that. If I ate like that I would be like the side of a bloody bus! (as we say in UK) I just get to snarf the odd mouthful and my stomache looks like I'm 6 months with child! Go figureeee. So how come these people can eat that much, slob on a beach all day and never seem to put any weight on? And don't tell me it's exercise coz there was no exercising happening for anyone at this hotel. So, as you can see, sometimes life baffles me. I shall continue to search for my guru of life...wherever she or he, or IT may be to find out the answers to these life changing questions. In the meantime be happy, laugh a lot (even though taxes are increasing) and love as truly as you can. Oh, and don't forget my cook book will be out soon either on Kindle, Nook or Book.

Tried changing my Daily Log again but only managed to change the date. Sorry. It's all o Facebook, Tumblr or Blogger B'fast: 2 eggs and ham Lunch: 2 cups of popcorn Snack: 1 packet of low-carb crisps/potato chips Dinner: Small salad, chicken parmegiano with minced beef and tomato sauce topped with cheese, 1 garlic breadstick ending with 1/3 lemon meringue pie Total carbs for today about 70 www.karenscckitchen.com Was doing great until the waitress brought breadsticks to the bloody table. So, there I was watching these freshly baked garlic breadsticks being devoured..... The kind that are Sooo soft and garlicky and hot out of the oven. Anyway just couldn't say no. After that, I got the taste for a few more carbs so I shared the dessert with my son and as he has a bigger mouth than mine he managed to eat most of it :-) So after a good morning and afternoon there was a blip in the system, but I sometimes say...."If you can't beat em, join em" :-)
