7.45am
3 eggs fried in butter - 1.5g

10am
60g cucumber - 2.2g

1.15pm
Rest of Harry's Burrito in a bowl - 7.9g

5.30pm
Mix of chicken and lamb kebab meat (huge serve) and a dollop of garlic sauce - 1.5g

Beverages
3 cups of tea with milk - 1.5g, two cups black tea, three cups water (not enough).

That gives a total of 14.6g carbs for the day.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys! I just thought I'd give you a bit of background on me. Looking forward to reading your backgrounds in your blogs too ... *hint* *hint*

Reply to the Comments: Sorry I have no idea why some people are having problems opening up my blog. The only think I can think of is the images I use are just copied off other sites and maybe those sites are restricted on your terminal??

The people at work will unfortunately notice every bite that I eat. Especially when they see me in clothes that fit rather than the giant uniform shirt I wear. They always think I've lost tons of weight, but I haven't. Not as much as they're saying, anyway. They're food orientated people... but I'm much more used to it now. When I say no to cake I don't get anywhere near the pressure I used to which is brilliant. :) There is hope afterall!

Dance, yes I did lose it all on low carb. I lost weight on Jenny Craig not too long ago but it seriously damaged my health - low fat is not for me. My body can't take it (not to mention my sanity). I'd stay on lc even if my weight just stayed the same :)

Bayoubabe, mortadella is sort of liked a spiced ham type slice. A few posts ago I posted a picture of it, maybe you know it by another name? Anyway, I just get a few slices of it, a few slices of swiss and roll them up together. Yum! Jarlsberg is better on the carbs though, but I'm sick of it for now.

Sadekat, I don't cheat on my eating plan, I just either stick within the boundaries strictly or I push them to the limits. But I haven't had a grain, a piece of potato, corn or sugar since last year (excepting for the prep for GTT as I wrote yesterday). I guess I follow more of a food group lc plan, rather than an overall total. I find counting can get obssessive but food groups is something you can do on instinct.

I don't have a recipe for the veggie soup I ate the other day. Firstly, my mum made it, and secondly, I never use recipes for soups anyway. Just cut up a bunch of veggies, add water and some herbs and boil. The one I had had a lot of onion in it :)

Have a great day all!
