Breakfast: Lidl protein roll bacon sandwich

Lunch: No idea - at my MIL's house for lunch

Dinner: Depends on lunch - could be a carvery on the way home from MIL or it could be deli meats, cheeses, taramasalata and salad at home.

Prosecco

My poor Mother in Law can't get her head around what low carbing is all about. She did a lovely salad for lunch yesterday but brought out a huge bowl of Jersey Royal new potatoes (because she remembered I said a while back that I love them) then said I know you can't eat potatoes - but I haven't put any margarine on them so they are okay - aren't they? I had one little one and Mr Chook had a couple but there was still a mountain of them left .... so she said 'I won't eat them so I'll but them in a bag for you to take home.' Lovely woman :)

Hello
B. Raspberries and cream
Gardening all morning

L. Corned beef, walnuts and olives.
1 hours swimming.
I succumbed! My weakness was a three cheese bloomer which my partner bought. I haven't eaten bread since last October and I succumbed to two slices!!!

D. Irish stew made with swede instead of potato. Strawberries with Alpro chocolate hazelnut ice cream which I am trying for the first time.

Reminds me of my MIL when We went for dinner. You could tell her that's plenty thank you and she would ask 'do you have enough ?' While continuing to pile food on your plate

It's a chilly damp day and it is causing me quite a lot of muscular pain to the extent I have had to take painkillers. Bed was 6.6 and FBG was also 6.6 pre breakfast 7. I've also had a couple of peaks of 8.8 and 8.4 but it returned to normal levels pretty quickly.
B. Slice Tesco high protein bread with a slice of roast ham and cheese coleslaw. Tassimo morning coffee with cream.
L. Yet another plate of that mushroom room. Still super yummy.
D. Rib eye steak, spinach, Portobello mushroom, 4 cherry tomatoes and a fried egg.

Lindt 90% since It's my 42 wedding anniversary today (child bride ). To be fair Hubby did ask if I wanted to go out but it is so cold and miserable I wanted to stay put.

@maglil55 Happy Anniversary for yesterday.

Monsoon weather here today - and I don't mean the high street clothes shop! At least I won't have to water the garden today.... or tomorrow.... and probably the day after that. Yes, its hammering down THAT hard. :(

Breakfast: Two boiled eggs, buttered Lidl roll cut in to soldiers, black coffee

Lunch: Small avocado, olives and mozzarella pearls and the last of the sprouted seeds I've been growing on my kitchen window sill

Dinner: Lamb chops - if it stops raining long enough I will be getting some chard and mangetout in from the garden - and the first of the courgettes which is small but edible (just). If it doesn't stop raining then probably some frozen veg.

Dry here today. Bed 5.3 FBG 6.5 and pre breakfast was 7.5. Haven't been above 7.5 today so whatever caused the 2 peaks seems to have gone again.
B. 2 thin Slices rare roast beef with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, boiled egg and helmanns. Tassimo morning coffee with cream.
L. Yes it's another bowl of the homemade mushroom soup. The last litre is off to the freezer.
D. Probably a salad with Turkey breast. That soup is rather filling.

We had that very heavy rain yesterday @Chook but it has settled today.

I eat once a day and as I type this, I'm chomping on a protein only dish of a couple of home made lamb burgers.

Quiet here, isn't it?? Where is everybody????

Breakfast: Eggs, bacon, chipolatas, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes

Lunch: (In hospital waiting area) I was prepared for a wait this time - four of leftover chipolatas from this morning

Dinner: Roast chicken thighs and re-heated leftover roasted Med. veg from yesterday

Definitely two squares of Lindt 90% - probably as soon as I get home from this depressing waiting area

You're right @Chook it is pretty quiet. I'm finally back home and going to get started on upstairs.
