blitzkreig - the regime has started with all guns blazing

all of the girls have jumped on the new dietary regime with gusto or nearly. salads for lunch are the order of the day (weighed no less) and tonight i cooked fish with ginger and served it with some "grilled/roasted" vegetables (capsicum, eggplant, asparagus and green beans). it was very tasty actually. the fish recipe came from the "low carb cookbook" (pg 56) but it was served without rice (not allowed).

In addition, i had two pieces of pork ribs (from the pork belly of the other day) which needed to be cooked. they had been marinating in the fridge in some "master stock" so they were nicely flavoured. Because not everyone is on the regime and Cam was over for dinner i also cooked some potatoes as wedges with only a little bit of oil and salt/pepper.

Just for the record - cam can eat what he likes. in fact he should.

everything was cooked with little or no oil so it was healthy right!!!

here are the exceptions for today:

G - in addition to her fish and veg she had ribs (4-5 ribs). She then followed her dinner with two small scoops of icecream with a couple of tablespoons of grated dark chocolate (she has a monthly excuse)

jeff - he drank red wine, he had ribs, some potato wedges and ate the last slice of the lemon/lime tart he made for Sunday. (his excuse - he felt like it and he rode 33km today)

ash - she had ribs and potato (her excuse - she is a carnivore at heart)

Sue - she was a good girl
