17th September Cruise day 15

weight loss: 0.0kg

total weight loss: 4.1kg
PP



Okay, weight stayed the same. Still feeling grotty but not so fed up as yesterday, thanks to kind messages from friends and family. I know I'm doing okay and I'm keeping on with it.


But, you can see from what I cooked that I really want to sit and eat something comforting right now! BG are still up, so in a way, I'm lucky. They serve as a constant reminder NOT to be tempted. Yesterday I made the lemon cake, adapted from the bread recipe from mydukandiet.com. It was absolutely gorgeous and I've had more this morning. Got some paper cases as I'm going to try making them up as little buns and then freezing them. Not today though, fof I have other fish to fry. Or grill. Yesterday I also made dukan friendly ice cream (recipe from the same website) that's sitting in the freezer and carb free nachos.


The nachos are lush. The recipe is from yourlighterside.com and these contain courgette and cheese, bound with some egg.





In the first batch I did, I used cheese which was too strong in flavour, so this time I used mozzarella. There is still a slight cheesy undertone but they are crunchy and delicous. And, as the website says, I do wish I'd made more. Mine were salt and vinegar flavour but the next batch are going to be sweet paprika. It took a while to get the timings right on the oven and these are still a little more dark than I would prefer them to be, but I swear, you blink and they are burnt. I am fairly sure that my oven runs too hot as I always have to reduce cooking times - I need to get an oven thermometer. But anyway, back to the nachos. The next batch will be split into half for snacking on and half for piling high with chilli and sour cream.... yummmmmm.

Breakfast: Boiled egg
lunch: chicken strips
Dinner: Roast gammon.

Not at all inventive, really. I should try more recipes for PP days.
