Weigh DAY

Ok its weigh day again and I have just realised that I haven't had a poo since Sunday/Monday!! I must be FULL of food!! :/  I will have lost on measurements if I haven't lost on lbs though (I hope).

I have been taking my fibre supplements in the morning and evening (you are meant to take them 3 times a day though). Hopefully I will have some 'movement' before I weigh this afternoon!!

Fibre supplements

Car door is still broken :( I think I misunderstood the instructions on the links I posted yesterday so will try again later, it is also pretty dirty so it might need a good clean up!

SUCCESS!!! I have pooped! Now I have no excuse for not losing this week! :/ lol!!

The weigh result wasn't as good as I'd hoped :( My weight has decreased 'a little' since last time. If you look at the image below, you can see that dot furthest on the right is slightly lower than last week, but no where near as big a drop as the week before!! Works out as 0.3lbs lol LAME!

Lunch, smoked mackerel and what was left of the rocket salad with 3 pieces of the garlic 'bread'

My order from Low Carb site has arrived!! There are some recipes on the back of the carbquik box to try out :)

Carbquik, prototoast, La Nouba Chocolate bars, sugar free cough candy 

The carbquik says its high in fibre!! BONUS!

Pork chop with broccoli and cauliflower for dinner:

My measurements lost so far this year:

Thigh - 1 inch

Hips - 2 inches 

Waist - 3 inches

Chest - 1/2 inch

Arm - 1/2 inch

Neck - 1 inch

Car door issues...

I have been having trouble shutting my car door on and off for the past week or so and I asked my Facebook friends for advise. I was advised yesterday to try some WD40 on the door so I brought some after work and sprayed it on all the hinges and the latch and the door shut fine. I then woke up this morning and the door wouldn't shut after spending ages scraping the ice off my car windows :( I sprayed WD40 on it again and it still didn't work! The only way I could get it to shut was to lock the door from the inside and then pull the door shut! Nightmare! Might ask the Facebook gurus for further advice before taking it to a garage and forking out money I don't have to have it fixed!! :(

On the weightloss front, it is weigh day again tomorrow and I am feeling hopeful that it will be another loss as the work trousers feel looser still and I have been good all week, not counting the bottle of wine at the weekend! lol ;)

I found a site that recommends holding the door handle open while moving the latch with a pen to its original position (if it has moved): www.jamesmaurer.com/car-door-wont-close-or-stay-shut.asp I'm hoping it has moved! There are over 100 comments of people thanking the guy for posting the solution!

Another site explaining the same procedure! http://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-door-hood-or-trunk-will-not-close - Fingers crossed!

I might do this on Sunday with my Tesco Value Lamb Breast joint: http://www.livestrong.com/article/513079-how-to-cook-a-tender-lamb-breast/ The slow cooker version! :) Think I have some broccoli and cauliflower in my tiny freezer to have with it.

Dinner, smoked mackerel with salad:

and garlic 'bread' grilled with soft cheese.

Woo hoo! I have a laptop again!

I have a laptop again!! :D HP have replaced the motherboard and also replaced the cracked plastic around my screen :) (I have no idea how the plastic cracked as I never drop my laptop but I suspect the cat did it!)

Feeling non bloated and trousers are feeling looser around the belly and thighs so its looking good for weigh day on Friday! I think monthly photo day this year will fall on the 6th of each month as that is the date I took the first photo before I started again!

I have my first Uni tutorial on Saturday at Luton campus! :/ Had an email saying there will be 20-30 students there and 2 different tutorial groups. We will have to introduce ourselves to the fellow students (I HATE having to do this!!) then we'll be put into groups to do some activities. I'll be there for 5 hours and there isn't a canteen so I will take my packed lunch like a good Low Carber :)

I got all the ingredients for the garlic 'bread' last night so I might try that out tonight :) I really hope it is quite bread-like and not a disappointment! Although I am sure it won't turn out like the garlic bread below!

Speaking of bread, I have heard about peanut butter bread on MFP!! http://i.imgur.com/t02yE.png how nice does that look?! At 35g net carbs per loaf I'd have to split it into a few slices though, I might have to give it a bash at some point! Need to buy smooth peanut butter and some baking soda first though.

Same chicken as yesterday but a much smaller breast and with salad this time

I did my 'Physical challenge' today and have advanced again: :)

So, I gave the 'garlic bread' a go...

and its all soggy?! Looks like a quiche texture! Its currently cooling on the wire rack but I'm not holding out much hope! Just hope the peanut butter bread will be better when I try some of that!! Don't think the 'bread' will take long to cool, its FREEZING in here!

The onion bread in yesterday's post looks like more of a bread texture and I have ordered some carbquick off the net to help make it!

After cooling, I'd say it is very much like the low carb pizza base that I have made before! It has been cut into 12 pieces and is currently in the fridge! Not sure what it could be eaten with? Maybe just as a snack? I might try grilling the soggy side to see if its any better?
