11.10 am - just had breakfast of Pain Perdu with banana, using wholemeal bread, egg and a little milk. Not very filling, but once it's gone down properly, it will probably do for the rest of the day.

I had a look in the fridges and found I had very little left this week - Neil didn't want to go shopping yesterday, so we have run down the stocks a bit. Even the butter in the dish was finished, so nothing that could be spread. What I found: 3 eggs, a bottle of milk, some soft cheeses, some gruyere, 2 bananas well past their best, some very hard butter, an unopened pot of yoghurt, some sad looking lettuce, an aubergine and a couple of courgettes. In the bread bin, the heel end of a wholemeal loaf. So, I decided on Pain Perdu with the very ripe bananas. I can use the vegetables tomorrow - not sure about the lettuce, it might be too far gone. Of course, the freezer is still full but I hadn't taken out anything to defrost.

I didn't want to leave eating until later because I have a dentist appointment for a couple of fillings, so wanted to be ready early enough. Probably shouldn't eat for the rest of the day anyway. Neil will do some shopping while I am in the dentist's chair so we'll be restocked for tomorrow.

Hi this is a good find. Do you know the carbs in them I’m going to Aldi later to day to but that FITT cube exercise it’s on offer I like the birthday cake one in the carb killers so I bet it’s just like them

To be honest I don’t know exactly as although polyols are listed in the ingredients, in the nutritional info there isn’t a quantity for them. So guesstimating they are 3 - 4g of impact carbs (carb total minus polyols) per bar. The proof is really in testing, I was fine with the birthday cake one, which incidentally is very similar to the carb killa birthday cake one just a bit more chewy.

Further to my reply earlier, I looked on the website for the info, but having looked at the bars themselves the impact carbs are as follows:
Birthday Cake 4.4
Salted Caramel 3.6
Peanut Butter 4.1
Cookie Dough 3.9

Just back from the dentist. He didn't do any fillings; just made a second impression for a plastic plate. I'll have another 2 appointments to get the final plate done and then the fillings. However, I still won't be eating, I don't think, because I got a bit dizzy getting up from the chair and started feeling very nauseous. Just trying to calm it down with some blackcurrant tea. If I can stick to one meal a day, surely I must lose weight! And hopefully that will help with the BG levels - as well as low carbing, of course.

Afternoon all. Bf was bacon and mushrooms fried in butter. lunchtime I had a Prawn Cocktail with a slice of bread n butter. tonight i'm having quiche with salad, beetroot , cress and peppers. snack today the ever-present 70% salted caramel chocolate. Am making some sf jellies today.

Local time 1600 and all I've had today is 5 coffees with cream, and two teas with nothing. Evening meal will be a brew of leftover lamb with tomatoes, peppers, olives, aubergine, garlic, vegetable stock cube, olive oil, paprika, cayenne, juices from lamb roast. Quick and easy - my kind of cooking. Although I follow intermittent fasting protocol, I usually eat at lunchtime, but as I haven't been hungry today, I haven't done so.

Evening all.

Mixed day food wise, which ended better than it started.

Gave in to both a bag of cashews and some dark chocolate on the way to Kew Gardens. Combined they formed ‘brunch’.

Dinner was pork chops with a mix of buttered savoy and pointed cabbage. Followed up with a few raspberries.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi salted caramel bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Dinner: gammon steak with broccoli and cauliflower followed by SF orange jelly and cream.

Think I forgot to post yesterday, nd can't remember much now except pub meal in the evening where I ended up having 2 starters, one of crab and one asparagus with poached egg. All the other mains were too carby and they couldn't offer veg or salad instead of potatoes. Even the sald was laced with chicken peas. What I had was nice.

Today
Couple of spoonfuls ff greek
Exercise class
Mint tea, in the sunshine!
L : Pate on m&seeds crackers with some lettuce wrapped around tatsiki . 2 lc ginger cookies
Dance class
Dinner: cheese crusted ham omelette with 2 cherry tomatoes

Added some bacon cubes fried with cucumber (I love fried cucumber!) to the last leftovers of yesterday and the day before to have enough for a meal.
Also had a couple of beers and some of my neighbour's whisky.

And then I saw someone needing a mate on a 3 masted sailing ship for friday and saturday in a Facebook group.
To give myself credit, I did check the weather forecast before reacting, but it's been a very long time between covid and general anxiety that I was sailing for work.

As a rule, you eat with the guests (those ships are manned by two professionals, me and the captain, plus some 30 paying guests). Food varies from spaghetti with ketchup with school groups to 5 course meals for family groups that happen to have an enthousiastic cook in the family, or it may happen you'll be taken out for dinner.
In this case it's a company outing with people from Belgium.

Which means it can go anywhere, foodwise.
Two full days of socialising and guiding people into the workings of the ship will likely stretch me to the max, mentally, without also throwing carb heavy food and trying to dose for it into the mix.
So I have a couple of days to work out a plan. In case of very good food, I'll want to eat with them, but if not or mediocre I'll want to have a back-up of something filling and low carb.
And of course I'll have to bring something easy for breakfast and lunch, but that's not so much of an issue. The guests will likely eat in the hold while I have to stay outside paying attention to the ship, very easy to transfer the fillings of their rolls to my slice of low carb bread.

I'll do some more thinking on it, but I sure make interesting decisions after drinking my neighbour's whisky!
And I'll send you a picture of course!

Nice bit of positive forward planning - you rock!

Bacon and egg this morning (late) and I am hoping that will be all today. If I'm going to do this OMAD thing properly, I'll have to start making something other than bacon and eggs for my meal, but I do enjoy my bacon in the morning.

afternoon all. well, have had my stitches out, all 15 and am in more pain than ever. so with pain and some comfort eating my bg will definitely be up. to stick to the thread, bf was greek yog with chia seeds and 2 strawberries (that was before the nurse came) since then, dinner was sausages, mashed potato, yorkshire pud,cauli and gravy and chocolate. dont know yet what tea will be but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Glad the stitches have gone but sorry you're in pain. Hopefully its improved now. Xxx

 

[maglil55]

Just one meal today - a fry up of left-overs (butternut squash, fish cakes) plus a couple of fried eggs. There was quite a lot there and made me very full. That was about 10.30 this morning. Still feeling fairly full (4.20 pm) but I have awful indigestion; really painful - haven't had it so bad in months. Stomach has clearly had enough for one day.

Em had her covid jab yesterday and started feeling ill soon after. She's off school today. It's odd how it affects different people different ways. She's the only one in her family to have a bad reaction to it. I gather her elder sister has tested negative twice, but has lost her sense of taste. But she only had covid about 3 weeks ago. Maybe something else causing it, or maybe it's back.

Is Em not a little young for the Covid jab? I reacted both times to the Pfizer jab but I was fine with Moderna for the 3rd jab. As you say, they all seem to affect different people different ways.

The local health board offered the jag to all kids from 5 to 12. Em was a bit late getting hers because she was off with a bad chest but the rest of her class had theirs a week before. I don't know which one she had, but it knocked her back for a couple of days. She's right as rain now.

She earned her £5 bribe for not eating sweets for a week, and she intends to start on week 2 tomorrow. She says she's going to save it all up and put it towards starting a business with her 9 year old friend - making paper bags, apparently (paper being better than plastic).
