Breakfast: Cheese omelette
2nd meal: More minced beef with braised cabbage. It's really just a kind of hash. Tasty.

Friday 10 November bed & FBG both 7.9. Nice to see you back, @ianpspurs. Half day Friday again. Hubby decided we are going furniture shopping this afternoon. We do need new sofa/chairs. I did want to wait but Hubby is paying!
B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with Ploughman's Pate. Benecol dairy free.
L. Nothing - furniture shopping.
D. Peri Peri chicken wings, alioil. CC little chocolate pot. Gin and zero lemonade with a strawberry.
Hubby was most impressed (and relieved!) that I decided on furniture in the first store we went to and had it all done and dusted in 1 hour! He was prepared for a tour, but I do tend to make a decision quickly if something fits the bill. I talked him into a new rug as well.

Tins of jackfruiit have just arrived in the post. Some experimentation to be done to find out if I can tolerate it in its, more or less, raw state. I know I can't take it once it's processed. Not today, though. If it makes me ill, it will knock me out for tomorrow as well, and I have to go out tomorrow. So, Friday it will have to be.

Has anyone tried jackfruit flesh as a sweetener in baking? That's what I would use it for, if I can tolerate it. It's not exactly low in sugars, but it might be useful in moderation.

Two mugs of tea until 10.25 ish - had to take 1 car in for MOT in Cambs then on to bloods in Newmarket: diary error
2 babybels after bloods and some of JKP's tea to take tablets. Hospital is opposite Aldi - convenient roundabout - so sauntered around there.Treated JKP to one of their not Baileys Advent calendars - no expense spared.
KC turkey breast roll, Dr Almond speculoos and CWC 2.00 pm ish
61 gms Cornish cruncher and another mug of tea watching cricket
Trout (Aldi bargain) salad: salad leaves, celery, radishes, spring onion, cucumber, tomatoes, toasted pine nuts topping, EVO/Acv (with mother) and dijon dressing. Fish salad has basically been my default main meal - usually mackerel or salmon - for 8 years until recently.

No! Time is dragging this week, but thanks for your crossed fingers x
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Dinner: liver (topping up my iron before my surgery!) in onion gravy with Brussels, broccoli and carrots.

Hope all goes well. The hug is for the time dragging not the food. I can't help but I can pray all goes smoothly. Ideally the hospital would have some means of you having your usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee. God bless and keep you.
No such luck, but I am taking a packet of keto granola! Thanks for your kind thoughts.

B: 2 hardboiled eggs mashed with some mayo and cream cheese
L: another cafe meal. We are away and meeting up with any friends and family nearby. I had a chicken caesar salad and a few chunky chips and a glass wine. Everyone else had magnificent puddings so I did have a few too many bites. Steamed date and rum anyone?
It's now 7 hours later and thinking I might manage to not have anything else today

Stamppot andijvie (endive mash) again, with melted cheese cubes and 3 rashers of bacon, yum!
I made enough mash for multiple days and only added the endive and cheese to todays portion.
Tomorrow I can use the same mash for zurkoolstamppot (sauerkraut mash)
The gloves and socks made an amazing difference, I didn't feel cold at all after the initial plunge.
The biggest and completely unexpected difference was having the float with a small bottle of undiluted squash though.
For the first time in 7 years I felt free again in the water!
I didn't feel I had to stay close to the way out and my hypo treats for safety, I didn't feel I had to constantly examine myself for the first signs of a low, I felt confident that if a hypo should happen, I'd be able to deal with it right in the water, or at least enough to reach dry land safely with some help from the other swimmers.
It felt amazing!

There were actually two people with lights in their floats today, very cool!

Just about to have a couple of RyVita with cheese for breakfast. It's quick and I have to go out shortly to get my legs rebandaged.
2nd meal will be salmon, if Neil can get me some when he does the shopping for me. Intending to make a salad with little strips of salmon fried in butter. Just fancy the idea. Would really prefer it to be whitebait, but can't get that here. Needs must.
