I'm seeing things today - tichy milk? Was sure that was Black Forest Gateau and my eyes deceive me......you are too full for a pomegranate pot ?
 
I've had a really good day. Bed on 6.7 FBG 6.9 Got a DP of 8.3 pre breakfast but the rest of the day was all 6's. The Libre is activated although it is giving me some odd readings. Grandsons are calling it Nana's secret sugar thing
B. Back to old faithful 2 scrambled eggs and 2 rashers crispy bacon. 2 chestnut mushrooms and 3 Vittoria tomatoes.
L. Bit of Prima Donna Maturo and 2 walnuts
D. 2 air fried chicken thighs and a load of steamed shredded greens.
Hartley sugar free raspberry jelly, 6 raspberries and a dash of double cream.
And ....I gave in and had 1 square Lindt 90%.
 
Breakfast: Boiled egg and half a Lidl protein roll buttered soldiers, cup coffee with cream

Lunch: the other half of the Lidl protein roll with egg mayo maybe with salad

Dinner: Lamb rump steaks and.... whatever I can find in the fridge. Definitely aubergine, asparagus and broccoli but not sure which way to cook them (I'll probably roast them in garlic and chilli olive oil). But its Asda delivery day tomorrow so the fridge needs to be emptied..... :)
 
Yesterday was

B: coffeesubstitute and cream
L: forgot, but ended up having a Kind nut bar
D: diet doc blue cheese cracslaw and greens again. Lush. oh, and 2 slices of cheese around 10pm (Jarlsberg)

snacks were the last of the Lidl chocs, drip fed through the day, to avoid blood glucose spikes. They are gone now, so can stick to under 20g carbs a day again now. :D Even with the chocs, I was only 25g higher than that.
 
Life is good and I'm happy and relaxed despite having No 2 all day and a DP at 9.
Bed on 6.7 FBG 6.9 second day running. Breakfast was late again and got to 9 thanks to DP but back in the 6's and stayed there so far.
B. Bacon, mushroom and courgetti omelette
L. Nothing
D. Trout fillet with courgetti , bean sprouts and any other veg I need to use up with a Thai red curry sauce. Sugar free jelly and raspberries.
 
A rare meat free day for me. DP in over drive this morning - woke at 7.2 and unusually stayed there before breakfast, but up to 7.7 after breakfast (usually goes down after brekkie). But down to 5.5 before lunch, 5.6 after lunch and 5.2 before dinner.

Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs

Lunch - tuna mayo with rocket and baby plum tomatoes

Dinner - sea bass fillet fried in butter with juice of half a lemon and chopped parsley, with cauliflower and broccoli

Edited - forgot the sugar free jelly mixed with cream for dessert with dinner.

Snack - 20g cheese between breakfast and lunch.

My BG shot up when I tagged one with a bit of cream onto a meal I had had before ... Don't know if it is the sweetener cos when I have done any of my recipes that call for Splenda my BG has gone up more than expected
 
Still running 'high' today ...

Cheese omelette went from 8.0 to 10.0

Avocado mushrooms smoked salmon Mayo went from 6.6 to 8.4 (only taken me up .3 at other times)

Field mushrooms stuffed with Philly, herbs and garlic and topped with cheddar served with creamy leeks (had it late so don't know what it has done to BG yet but started at 7.0

Is it possible you have a bug coming on? My BG always 'tells' me of the impending arrival of a bug before it hits.
 
Breakfast: Snickerdoodle pancakes (very nice)
http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2014/07/egg-fast-recipe-snickerdoodle-crepes-low-carb.html

Lunch: Mackerel fillets fried in butter - I should have had them for breakfast but forgot to defrost them over night

Dinner: Prawns in a Thai sauce, cauliflower rice and stir-fried in butter mangetout (I'm cooking dinner late and in a hurry tonight and so I'm cheating and using a frozen ready dish - only 4.2g carbs per helping)

Snack: Glass or two of red wine

I'm beginning to associate you with mackerel as much as I associate @mo53 with pomegranate pots and @Brunneria with Lindt Excellence.

There are FAR worse associations! :hilarious:

B: Bacon and egg, herb tea
L: a wee squarette or two of 70%
D: will be either DD ginger and lime chicken wings with broccoli in dill mayo. Or the last of the DD spag bol with konjac noodles and green salad. Decisions, decisions...
 
Posted in the wrong thread !

After the Aqua issues with Nana's secret sugar thingy nice to have 2 arms I can use for cooking. BG was higher this morning at 7.9 which I discovered was thanks to a 5am visit to the loo. I guess I could always cook and eat breakfast at 5am to arrest DP?
B. 2 scrambled eggs and 2 rashers crispy bacon. 2 chestnut mushrooms and 3 Vittoria tomatoes. Also added some spiralised courgetti.
L. Cornish cove mini and 1/2 M&S cracked black pepper calamari.
D. Diet Doctor cheese stuffed chicken breast with steamed greens
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/cheese-filled-chicken-breast

1.45 pm Costa coffee large white coffee
