Once again I’m
late with posting, mainly because my computer is playing up big time and I
haven’t got time at the moment to back everything up and reload all my software
so it’s BSODing every fifteen minutes or so, which is incredibly frustrating.
Another day of
leave for me during which I had intended to take all my rubbish to the tip and
go shopping among other things, but rain stopped play (I do not like to get wet),
so instead I ended up working. However, still managed to get up early enough to
get to the gym for 6.15am where I had another good work out.
Breakfast was
the rest of the sausages I didn’t eat yesterday with that lovely peppery, buttery,
eggy mixture and a large mug of rooibos vanilla tea. I actually managed to have
a proper lunch for a change, with the butternut squash soup topped with grated
parmesan cheese and cut strips of streaky bacon (the recipe says it should be
crumbled but I have discovered I am not very good at cooking bacon until it’s
crumbly. The first attempt was so burnt it had to be thrown away and I managed
to burn myself, the second, not cooked quite enough to crumble and so I had to cut it up
instead).
For dinner I
tried something new - a burger from Henry Harris’ gourmet high protein low carb regime book which I bought last time I low carbed, but never got round to
actually using. His version uses veal, but that isn’t easily available in my
area (at least not in my local Asda) so he suggests you could use lamb mince
instead. The recipe uses egg yolks, which leaves me with a couple of whites
that I don’t know what to do with – they are currently residing in my fridge
awaiting inspiration to strike. The burgers were served in portabello mushrooms
and topped with melted cheese (I used Alex James’ cheddar and mozzarella blankets,
although it was a little mild for my taste – his cheeses are very low in carbs
and taste absolutely wonderful). This was served with a mixed green salad and
some coleslaw.
Interestingly,
having three meals today seemed to spark my hunger as I found myself needing a
snack later in the evening (this hasn’t really happened so far). And so I found
myself having a late night snack of the last of my prosciutto.
I am having a
problem calculating the butternut squash soup on Fitday, because it won’t give
me a useful measure, but I am aware it’s quite carby and so today’s carbs go
just over the maximum limit for Phase One (it’s amazing how many carbs herbs
and spices contain!)
