Dukan bolognaise and the 'new' piece of exercise equipment

 I'm at the end of my second 'carbless' week. The suggested alternative for pasta is courgette. Peel strips off it with a vegetable peeler and fry in a squirt of one cal spray and a crushed clove of garlic. It was surprisingly good.

I made bolognaise from low fat ground beef, onion, green pepper and mushroom, I added some tinned tomatoes, herbs, garlic and some tomato puree to thicken. I am a sad bugger because I actually measured a tablespoon of 2% fat grated cheddar! It suggested 20g for heavens' sake!!! Only drug dealers have scales that measure amounts that small! The next time I'm in France and going to look for scales that measure such tiny portions! I bet posh spice has some in her kitchen!

Hi Foster Mummy, you asked what I was standing on. It's a lateral thigh trainer, you step and twist at the same time, so it makes your legs and tummy muscles work at the same time. Big bird Brenda is on the DVD and she is so irritating I could slap her, 'You're really feeling it now?'. What she should be saying is 'You can't breath now can you!' I picked it up from Freecycle locally and I'm on the look out for other gym equipment.

When I get a spare minute or if I'm watching telly, I step away on it. I've only used it three times and I can already see my knee caps so the pudge is starting to move!

Until tomorrow,
