Today is day 3 of attack and also Sunday, so that means church-we attend Harvest Bible Chapel London and had to be up and have breakfast early and get the kids ready. I woke up feeling somewhat lethargic...probably still getting the carbs out of my system. Down .8 lbs today! Dolph and I made our 'trimmed and washed' peameal bacon, eggs, and gallette. The bacon was yummy!
We had decided to invite the Chapmans over for lunch as they had been doing the diet and I didn't have my book yet. BTW, you can order it here. Wasn't sure what to make for lunch- I had leftover roast beef, but not enough for everyone (Chapmans have 6 kids-3 were coming) so we stopped and picked up extra ground beef, raced home and made burgers. The Chapmans came in as I was making my burgers and we all hung out at the end of the island by the fridge and talked 'condiments'. They would pull something out of my fridge, check the carb and fat listing on the label, then put it back and grab something else! Tim said, "That looks so gross!" Suddenly I began to laugh uncontrollably...here I was up to my elbows in a bowl of meat with my guests gathered around watching me and our Vegan friends, the Bunches, were at their house probably standing around a bowl of salad! Anyway, it was one of those moments in life that seemed a bit absurd! I'll post my recipe for homemade burgers, which have a quantity of jerk seasoning but are not hot-just spicy!
So the kids got all the toppings with bun while we sat down to a plate with a lone burger, a pickle and PC brand Buffalo Chicken Sauce. I also smeared a bit of PC brand Sweet with Heat mustard which will change your life...if you let it! I tried to go for 2 pickles but Dee said, "No, Rose! One pickle is a condiment...two are a vegetable!" She's not going to let me get away with anything!
After lunch the kids played Just Dance while Levi and Maddy sat around and did homework and the adults compared Dukan recipes and talked protein. After a bit we decided to go for a walk-Deanna walked circles around me in some kind of shoes with heels, while I huffed and puffed down the road. I felt like Big Dog/Little Dog! The guys strolled behind! It's 2 km to just past the corner and back-Dr Dukan recommends walking 20-30 min per day.
When we got back, Adelaide gave me a bracelet that she had made me-I'm going to wear it to remind me of how much this family is supporting me! It was a great afternoon.
Later after they left, we watched some TV and I had another burger patty for supper and some plain non-fat yogurt with vanilla added. My legs are very itchy again when trying to sleep!

Rosemary's Jerk Burgers
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 Tbsp extra hot horseradish sauce
2 Tbsp Jerk sauce-I use Mr Mr Gouda's or Grace
1 Tbsp dried parsely flakes
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup bread crumbs (for Dukan I substitute oat bran)
1 egg
Mix by hand and form into 6 oz patties
put on a plate and cover with saran wrap
and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
The flavours intensify and the burgers stay together better on the barbeque.
Don't be afraid of the seasonings in this. You really just get a very flavourful burger.
I like to barbeque until just med and use a meat thermometer to check.
The link for the Mr Gouda's says this seasoning is authentic and HOT!
I don't find it very hot at all. If you really like HOT, then use PC Montego Bay Fiery Jerk Sauce
tested by a Jamaican and certified authentic!
