Another weekend has gone by and another week of work is beckoning me - bugger! We are one down until after Wgtn Anniversary weekend so things are pretty full on at the moment. Last Thurs and Fri I drove into town and used one of the Managers carpark in the basement so was doing 7.30-3.30 which was quite good but am back to catching the train tomorrow but as Stephan is still home with Rachel, I will catch the 7.00am train which will get me to work by about 8 which is not to bad as it means I will be able to catch a slightly earlier train home.
Today has been a relatively good day or it had been until dinner time - hadn't had much carbs at all until dinner time where I had 3 medium new potatoes! They were yum and I did enjoy them until immediately afterwards when I realised what I had done/eaten! Time will ensure I will eventually get my carbs down and I am determined to do it!
Lynda - question for you - how does Coleslaw rate in the carb situation? And am guessing that Breadcrumbs will be rather high given that they are wheat and bread if that makes sense!
I have set myself a mini goal - there is 13 weeks until Easter and I would like to have lost 8 kilos by then! All going well it will be more but I want it to be a doeable goal so I don't get to upset should I not achieve it!
Gonna go finish watching Aliens in the attic - seems to be quite a funny movie!

Coleslaw is great!! Even better with full fat dressing instead of low calorie (which has more carbs). I have coleslaw often - yum for lunch with a can of that chicken and mayo on (also low carb). Don't beat yourself up over the potatoes, still much better than cakes and stuff!!
Breadcrumbs yes well... apparently there are alternatives. Do you mean for crumbing and frying or adding to mince for hamburgers?? I have to admit to crumbing fish from time to time as I just love crumbed fish (not often you understand but it is one of the things I am not quite sure how to substitute).
You're doing well Karen ... and I'm sure you will reach your goal. Have a good week at work :)
Me again.. there are quite few things you can use to crumb food, just been looking it up. There are also masses of recipes for alternate food if you really must bake. I also just made a flax wrap http://www.lowcarbcooking.co.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=174
It is actually quite nice and would be great for a work lunch filled with yummy stuff. There are other recipes there too, have a look. I think I'll make that Flax Foccacia too.
Great to see you back blogging again, Karen!
You're off to a great start. Keep up the great work. It's tough, but so worth it to get the end result!
Heya Karen....go you! That is awesome that you are already loosing weight. Give yourself a big hug from me. I think you are wonderful for getting back on track.
