I have disgusted myself today, but Friday is a day of treats.........

I had a weight watchers yogurt when I woke, stopped by greggs for a bacon roll and latte for starting work, and now I have just had a greggs ham salad roll for lunch.......

that's 108g of carbohydrate right there...........naughty boy........blood sugars have been good though...
 
Well last night I discovered the joy of clotted cream & sugar free blueberry jelly, ate nearly the full tub of clotted cream & felt sick! Tested an hour later & no change! Hoorah! Just tried Ainsley harriotts lentil Dahl for lunch very nice will test in 2 hours & see if it was worth it.

News just in on lentil Dahl, reading before was 6.2( cos I couldn't resist half a packet of crisps mid morning), reading 2hours after 7, quite pleased with that will have to have another test run to convince myself though.

I have just had a fried egg sandwich in a muffin made with coconut flour and flax seed. It was so nice and the muffin only took a minute to make in the microwave:)
 
Being that it's my birthday today & how I'm managing an average reading of 6.5 I thought stuff it I'm gonna have a treat today & if it takes me up to 13 or so I can live with that! So off I've been for fillet steak with chips & red wine, mushroom & onion sauce! Reading after 10.8 very happy! Although I wAs lucky that I started with a nice low reading of 4.8 beforehand!

Happy Birthday :)
 
Yesterday's low carb goodies were...

Brunch: almond pancakes with blueberries and cream (even my fussy son ate one and said they tasted like "regular" pancakes. Result!)

Dinner: mushroom stroganoff with shredded lettuce (looks like cat food, but is very tasty)

Pudding: chocolate and pecan mug cake with vanilla cream and raspberry sauce (oh my!) Cake recipe from http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2013/05/chocolate-brownie-mug-cake-low-carb-gluten-free.html

Cheers. There is a weird malware warning on the cake site today so I have posted the recipe on the low carb recipe thread if anyone is interested.

(whenever I see aqualung I start singing that Jethro Tull song lol)

thanks for posting the recipe, I am off to have a look.

my husband is a big Jethro Tull fan and that is the username he uses, I thought it was more appropriate than my usual one (bunbun)
