Hi All been away for four days and tried to be good but a bit of bread or skinny chips crept in. Only saving grace walked miles sightseeing. Btw I won’t eat chips unless they are perfect and crisp!
We foursome had two meals a day, either cooked brekkie or early lunch until evening meal of two courses, starter and main.
Had two excellent farm shop brekkies, for me the best was slice sourdough toast topped with sauteed mushrooms, two slices crispy streaky bacon and gloriously cooked fluffy scrambled eggs. Copious tea, haha.
One lunch was bowl of carrot soup and slice sourdough for dipping (I know, bad!) but needed due to glacial weather. Shared chicken wings.
Another lunch was a really excellent cheeseburger, bun and all, passed the chips to others. I was so gladthat when I threw i. The towel for a big burger it was a good one!
Suppers varied. First night Nandos four lemon & herb chicken thighs with tenderstem broccoli and rainbow slaw. The best supper was seafood restaurant. We four shared starters of light touch fresh calamari, grilled oysters with bread crumbs, tender octopus salad, large prawns. Then I had Moules, no chips.
Some lovely wine, finally Limincello shot on the house.
Another night sirloin steak, tomato, mushrooms, peppercorn sauce and a few skinny fries. The last night we had whole lemon sole with buttered greens
So back home yesterday evening and back to reality. Chunky cod fingers and cauli cheese. Off to Sainsburys soon for big shop

Nice tip on the cauliflower rice instead of potatoes. I hadn't thought of that. Those sprouts look lovely too; I can't wait until Christmas to have them again.

Last night i did succumb to 2 x 30g of cheese, one before and one after going to the pub. At least it stopped me falling into worse temptation.

Today
B: 3 small scrambled eggs
Lunchtime, massive headache so slept in the chair for 90 odd minutes

Went for 30 minutes walk, munching a bag of pork scratchings.

Later 2 bite of hubby iced chocolate croissant . Just to try this new line the local artisan Baker is doing. Curiosity was satisfied, won't need to try them again.

D: 2 beefburgers served with broccoli and green beans.
A cc little chocolate pot with 2 teaspoons cream.

Out again later but there be no alcohol or food temptation at this meeting.

Evening all, back to posting after a few difficult weeks. As fate would have it today was my annual diabetic review, I’m just hoping things haven’t gone too awry.
Black coffee until lunchtime then a chicken salad sandwich made with low carb bread and h/m mayo. DGF Notella cookie.
Dinner was slow roast beef short ribs with garlic cauli mash, baked mushroom and sauteed asparagus. Glass of red.

I'm sorry to hear you've been having a hard time and very glad to see you're back!

Should your results not be what you'd like them to, you'll know the cause, and with meals like today you'll be back on the wagon in no time.
