Love your new avatar @shelley. My tulips still have some way to go, but snowflakes have taken over from the various crocus and snowdrop species, new Narcissus spp, are coming into flower and my lawns and paths are carpeted with anemones, celandines and hardy cyclamen; all self-sown.
When the weather's kind, it's a lovely time of year.

How was your wild-caught sockeye salmon @IanBish?

It was very nice. Much firmer and redder than the farmed salmon. Lovely texture too. Not cheap, mind.

Yes, I used to enjoy farmed Atlantic salmon, but it doesn’t pack the same punch as wild sockeye.
Trying Pacific wild salmon for the first time was a revelation.

Breakfast: Bacon, egg and mushrooms. That might be all I need for the day - not sure.
I will make lamb tagine with the lamb I intended to have yesterday, but may not eat it today.
Experimenting making my own Lorne style sausage, using just beef mince but not using any breadcrumbs or rusk. Fat content of the meat was only 5% so I decided to add fat in the form of grated cheese (some leftover bits and pieces) and discovered that I seem to have mislaid my jar of nutmegs so, instead of nutmeg and mace I used cumin and oregano. Just fried off a little of the mixture and it tastes just fine so I will go ahead and chill it down ready for slicing and freezing.

Today, I fancied something resembling a Sunday dinner. So I cooked a sirloin steak with steamed hispi cabbage, a carrot, and a new potato that I found in the fridge. I realise that this may not qualify for this thread, but the potato was rendered starch resistant, and I ate it last!

Hello all, I've been getting stricter with low carb the last few days and it is showing in my numbers, so I'm very happy. But my bread addiction refuses to die and is sending me hallucinations! (Not really, don't worry!) I have to steer clear of low carb bread options for now as I'm worried they'd be a trigger so in-your-face bread addiction, it's cold turkey for you!
Small glass kefir, small bowl of olives with some oil
Harissa pork mince with full fat soft cheese
2 x pork puffs
Another small glass of kefir
Evening meal will be lamb steak with greek salad

@jpscloud I gave you a winner today for sticking at stricter low carb despite your bread addiction - it is tough and important for you to come up with a solution that works for you - well done .

B: 90 second bread with marmite
2 hour walk, with every type of weather! Did spot a very large herd of deer, very large for this time of year.
L: lettuce wraps of cream cheese and kimchi. Only had romaine lettuce so they were very long narrow wraps, think cigars! But tasty
Mid afternoon lc hot chocolate
D: chicken breast, carrots and a small spoon ready made chilli sauce. Cho coated ice cream with yoghurt
Heading away for 2 weeks tomorrow, so libre on but not activated yet. I must use the time as a break from the bad carb habits I've got in to after winter and various upsets. No more excuses!

Today, Sunday, 24 March - bed 7.9 FBG 6.7. The youngest grandson has another viral infection. Slapped cheek - it is doing the rounds in the schools. Rash has appeared on his cheeks, so he's not contagious now, but he's probably been spreading it last week when he was OK apart from a cough. Apparently, it is often mistaken for scarlet fever. No swimming, though, so I got lots done today.
B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with deli pork and egg mayo. Benecol dairy free.
L. Nothing
D. Seems to be a steak day. Rib eye steak, onion, mushrooms, 4 santini tomatoes, peas, mustard. Campari and soda. Not had Halo Top yet, but it may follow later with raspberries.
4 days to the holidays....

I know how you feel. Despite everything, I still struggle with not having bread, or potatoes, or any other carb rich food. Pretty sure that in my case, as with many others, bread and other baked products are an addiction. Can't have low carb products because the ingredients bring on my food intolerances.
Met up with a friend I hadn't seen for a long time yesterday and she is looking so good - about half the size she used to be and much healthier. She told me that she first went low carb and then completely carnivore and is much happier and healthier than she's been for years. Quite an inspiration.
