There are obviously other factors involved about which I am unaware. Maybe medication, maybe lack of sleep, maybe blood pressure or maybe something else I can't think of. Just need to keep an eye on it.I am convinced you should write a book on your BGs @Annb. They are certainly a mystery that defies all logic.
Very brave to take such a course, I hope the parts on the psychology of eating and comfort eating will be helpful after surviving the parts on healthy carbs and low fat everything!It’s a ‘healthy lifestyle’ course. I'm interested in the sessions about the psychology of eating and comfort eating, having put on weight over the last couple of years since Mum and Dad died. I have to suffer hearing all about the eat well plate first though!
Worth it for the lovely day. Enjoy Lincoln, if you go. If not, enjoy your day anyway.Morning all. I didn't do brilliantly yesterday I'm afraid. Over the day I had a pack of 3 choc covered Lotus biscuits, 1 slice of cheese on normal toast and Pollo Pizzioala! Chicken in tomatoes with capers, green olives, onion and mushrooms. What let me down were the chips that came with it. I also had champagne!!! It was a big family get together and it was noisy, it was fun, there was lots of laughter and I had a wonderful time but spent the night in and out of bed with leg cramps. But it was worth it. We may be going to Lincoln today so I will report tomorrow. Have a lovely day folks.

Yay!! Crispy skin! Are you eating it, though?
Eyes are still marinating, sadly. In 6 months I've to stop using the drop I use twice daily. We'll then see what happens, and if the pressure is still down, the last part of the "marinade" can be stopped. She'll be comfortable with that, as I'll be due another stint with the optician 3 months after that, so they'll pick up any movement. You're correct, though. It's a great result.
I’ve missed a few days, been laid low with an attack of vertigo which has been quite debilitating. I have some pills now which I hope will ease things
Today I had black coffee all morning and lunch coincided with my DGF order arriving, so a buttered DGF roll, beef, cheese & gherkin. Then a DGF cookie. All the rest safely stored in the freezer.
Dinner - pork chop, outdoor reared saddleback from local farm ( I bought 1/2 pig for the freezer) Coop Irresistible sausages ( I knew the sausages from the farm pig weren’t keto but I had a bite of Paul’s and it was delicious) fried red onion and mushrooms, steamed broccoli and glass of red.

Oh dear - it went wrong again. We discovered that one of the front tyres was worn and soft so, when I came out of the Health Centre. we had to go to the tyre service and get 2 new ones. That took quite a while and by the time we got home, I was pretty exhausted so I rested with a cup of tea and fell asleep. When I woke up it was time for my Zoom class so I grabbed a slice of wholemeal bread and, taking a chance, had some peanut butter. Had a really bad reaction to it the other day so hoping it won't be too bad today. After the Zoom class, I was crippled so couldn't do anything. Lamb and vegetables now back in the fridge.Just had raspberries and cream. I have an appointment to have my legs rebandaged at 11.20 so can't really have a main meal before I leave and will be really hungry by the time I get back. Hence the berries and cream to keep me going.
Main meal will be lamb "steaks" - still don't know where on the animal they come from. One should be enough with some braised leeks and maybe some cauliflower mash. It's cold here today, so a hearty, warming meal will be needed.
We had wonderful pork chops this evening too.
For some time now, MrB has been taking the rind off the chops before cooking, but leaving a layer of fat on them. Once the chops are cooked, they come out out, but the rind stays in the airfryer and the temperature raised, making fabulous crackling. So good!
