Food that is killing me slowly
FBG 6.9
Breakfast: Skipped
Lunch: Baby plum tomatoes, cashew nuts
Dinner: Beef stew with onions, carrots, swede/turnip, one boiled potato.
Snack: DarkMilk chocolate with almonds
Drank about 4 big cups of herbal tea through the day. I think I'm coming down with something, feeling very weak and sneezy. Had a flu shot over a week ago, so it shouldn't be that! :yuck::meh:
