I try to exercise too.
Do you know that @Jamrox is a great exercise motivator. She started several threads about exercise to encourage each other. Current one is 'step into spring'. I think some of us are slacking a bit at moment. Me, I am guilty of that.

I love mushrooms. What do you stuff them with @Kat100?

Breakfast: usual "porridge" cashew butter soya milk portion size,adjusted down as fasting bs a bit higher...that plus walking dog should keep.me within limits
Dinner: Sainsbury's mega brunch...lovely..daughter had half the chips (walk round shop should work off the other half ;))
Tea: chilli with wholewheat pasta (prefer it to rice wth chilli)
Bedtime snack...possibly nuts they do keep fasting down most days

Had two thin cinnamon crisp biscuits... but may still have the nuts.... having a strange day foodwise, feel REALLY hungry, eat a little then feel STUFFED then not long after I'm sooooo hungry again.... weird

B: 2 boiled eggs and a small avocado, with a dash of sriracha
L: cavolo nero sauteed in butter; cottage cheese with chopped red pepper and prosciutto bits, seasoned with garlic and chilli flakes
D: 5-6 macadamia nuts (was out)
 
breakfast - the "usual"

Dinner: 2 fried goose eggs, 4 halved tomatoes fried and slices of cheddar cheese under the eggs ... STILL stuffed ... ONE goose egg would have been plenty

Got a couple of pork chops cooking for tea with probably buttered and black peppered leek and cabbage

OK doggies are squeaking, their tea is late.....

Low carb contributions are of course welcomed, but please keep in mind that this is not the low carb diet section, and debates about diet should be kept out of this thread. Happy posting! ;)
