Cheese and Tories,
0800 double espresso
1300 double espresso and some pecans

Not very hungry today but didn't have dinner until 21.30 last night and 100g of roasted butternut squash gave me quite a spike. Shame really as it was a nice addition to my salad.
Just tested now and 3.4. I feel ok though.

Cheese and Tories,
So far today, one double espresso, one mug of filter coffee and one cup of tea with milk. My weight loss has stuttered a bit of late so I've gone back to intermittent fasting.
Dinner tonight is going to be a smoked basa omelette. Not tried before but I'm sure smoked haddock omelettes are a thing so hopefully it will taste ok.

Cheese and Tories,
Breakfast was a bacon sandwich. Bread was wholemeal sourdough so not ideal but HiLo was out of stock and I don’t have them often.
lunch was Yeo valley extra thick yoghurt with a small fresh peach, blueberries and some walnuts and pecans. Dinner was baked bassa with salad.
