Yuk. Porridge still off the menu then. Sighs. :(

Some things just aren't worth it.

I must say, I can do a very modest portion of raw oats, with wheat bran and milk, but I haven't had that for ages. It'll be back on the menu, from time to time, from next week though, probably.

Post breakfast 5.3 ( did 16 minutes peddling after my spelt toast)

Fasting thus morning 6.2
Before lunch 5.3
Two hours after lunch of small pork chop, cauliflower, spinach and raspberries and yoghurt, cup of black tea. 7.3!

I had a large chippy fish tonight with chippy mushy peas and a piece of my Hovis, followed by a mug of tea. I stole one chip.

There is a famous fish and chip shop about a mile from where I live. Whenever I drive past it my mouth drools. Interesting that the fish didn't cause much of a spike. Maybe I'll treat myself when I get down to 55kg.
 
High this morning thought to myself ah no another rubbish day.
