What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[DJC3]

Would be great if that was the end, some packing still to do. Planned leaving time, 6.30am so needs to be done tonight

Oh dear. Very brave of you to stop for champagne then - I would never have got going again after that

 

[DJC3]

Hot, trending towards scorchio and BBC took the liberty of having some woman on the 6 O'clock news talking from my back garden Very samey menu again but 7 consecutive days being able to function totally exceeds my expectations so change ain't gonna come anytime soon. B = tea a plenty. 14.00 hrs flaxseed and PHP not cracker with 4 egg h/m mayo. Did eat some Cornish blue and garlic and herb cheddar while making that. Evening meal - approx 4.5 hrs later - cheddar, twiska gouda and avocado salad with plenty chia seeds and extra drizzle of EVO. One does find the snack cucumbers amusing. More herby garlic cheddar while making.
You will be smiling all the time @DJC3 once we are led by that overstuffed Oxfam bag looky likey.

Glad that whatever you are doing is working.

I love the sound of your breakfast. Sounds like a good place.

I will be going again!!!

Not brave, just greedy, love champagne.
Have now managed to finish making the bed, do the dinner, washing up pending, water the veggies, heavy dose, they will probably be without for 5 days, am now engaged in packing seedlings too fragile to leave behind.

Bed 6.4 FBG 6.7- Intended to start ironing for the packing but dripping hot so, short of moving ironing outside I gave it a miss. Eventful morning at Aqua. As you know my legs have been bad and I failed to pay attention to where my feet were (when you lack sensation you have to watch your feet). I successfully fell over my own feet and came clattering down. On my left side. That started panic stations at the pool but I fall over a lot so I know how to fall - go floppy like a baby. I do, however, have a substantial bruise coming up on my hip though. I did the Aqua class though.
B. TAG with ADOC. Then off to fall over at Aqua.
L. A toasted Skinny roll with pate pate
D. Remains of the chicken cacciatore with cauliflower mash. SF Jelly, raspberries and 2 bits Green & Black raspberry and hazelnut.
@ianpspurs - we're up to season 7 of Spooks. They were certainly ahead of their time.
@DJC3 - I can relate to how you felt. Much as I loved my job , I didn't like being the centre of attention but you have no choice if you're in front of 600 people so you become someone else - and perform! Must admit there were a few days though you asked - why do I do this?

Hug for the fall but it may give you a good reason to watch more spooks. Season 10 here @maglil55 - shows what a mad social whirl we lead and yes, it was rather prescient .

Good news about the electrolytes and cramps @shelley262. I don't tend to get cramps but started using them when I had the hot to trots earlier this year.

Ouch! Hugs for the fall. Swimming pool tiled floors are so hard!
Talking in front of 600 people would be my worst nightmare. I’m almost having palpitations just thinking about it.

Hi Shelley, can you explain about Electrolytes for preventing night cramps please?
Thanks a lot Liz

Are you using arnica cream on that bruise? Hope it's not too painful.

Hugs for the cramps. Are the electrolytes just like Dioralyte or more specific minerals?
Re the photos: Dennis is definitely more photogenic than me.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: rollitos with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by Greek yoghurt, LC granola and raspberries.
Mid afternoon at Nero’s: peanut phd bar and coconut cappuccino.
Dinner: cauliflower and broccoli cheese with Mediterranean veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.

Edited to add my main course of lunch which I had omitted!

 

[maglil55]

No - just getting on with it. I'm dosed up on paracetamol but I was taking that anyway for the bad legs. You'd think I would know by now to watch my feet when my legs are bad but, having retrained them to do things again over the years, I can get a bit complacent- then down you go. My worst one was when I fell over my feet on our deck and battered the side of my face on the ground. I was concentrating so hard on missing the little wall in that area that I stopped paying attention to where my head was going. Ended up with a black eye, huge bruise on the chin as well as painful hips.

Lunch yesterday: Leftover curried chicken, was hotter than the day before.
Dinner: Steak and veggies, onion gravy.
Breakfast: Usual omelette, smokey bacon, tomatoes, reheated spudlite.

Drinks: Black coffee no additives, water.

Talking of drinks, there is a new distilery opened up in Bundaberg recently, Kalki Moon. They are making gin and vodka and liquers, my partner had tried the gin and reckon's it's a good drop. In some of advertising blurb at the bowls club they are going to export it to the UK.

We have just included that haloumimi cheese to our online shopping list, just by going on the strength of posters raving on about it's virtues here.

Ordered a couple of packets of plain and two packets of chilli to give it a tryout and also compare it with a homemade Lebaneese version some friends make.

Hugs. Hope you feel better and the bruise goes away quickly.
I fell as well yesterday. In a shop. I had just updated my tablets on their wifi where I had eaten breakfast. They were in my backpack. On my back. Went into this shop. Was turning round in the aisle when my right foot caught on something sticking out from the shelf. I totally unbalanced. And I went flat on my back and backpack...

I know how to fall from doing Aikido many years ago. But it didn't include training on how not to fall flat on my back. But I did manage to partially curl in, as I do when I normally fall down. I never "save" myself by putting arms and hands out, because that is where I have seen permanent hand injuries in older people.

Got home. Both Android tablets played dead with the little green robot also lying flat on his back...

But, after a few scary moments, I managed a reboot, and got both working again...

I just need to reboot myself now from sore back, sore neck and sore shoulders ...

You did well doing the aqua class. It probably helped a lot from the after effects of the fall. Take care.
