We got back home from Cyprus at 9am having travelled overnight. Plum tuckered out today.
Missed my sheep’s milk yoghurt for breakfast. I tried to recreate the mood by having feta and cherry tom omelette.
Lunch was crackers ( made by microwaving cheese slices on parchment for 90secs) topped with pate and a few cherry toms.
Dinner chicken cooked with a white wine and mushroom sauce. Cabbage noodles and broccoli. We Drank the rest of the wine, don’t think I’ve ever felt so tired.

Out all day and busy so skipped lunch
Dinner left over roast chicken and two chipolata sausages ( high pork content) with salads followed by a few strawberries and yoghurt then a few squares of 90% chocolate with cup of decaffeinated coffee

Unsure whether to count the fried eggs at 7am as today or tomorrow as I did go back to sleep again for several hours

Since then, I've had 2/3 of a stupendous frittata containing all the veg that needed using up - chinese leaf, spring onions, red and green peppers, and some frikadellen (german meatballs) and gherkins.

Couldn't finish it so other third will do for later along with some salt and chilli chicken thigh and raspberry gourmet yogurt (naughty, but bought before diagnosis)

Usual 4 big mugs of tea with a splash of milk

Edit: postponing frittata/ chicken/ yogurt until morning to make it easier to take meds, having an extra cuppa instead. Hoping to be rewarded with nice BG numbers for all this restraint

Breakfast- 2 boiled eggs mashed with butter.
Lunch -not brilliant! last week of my ‘Wellness in Nature’ course which has been enjoyable but today everyone bought food to share for a picnic. I took strawberries not intending to have anything else but was tempted by a Higgidy spinach and cheese mini muffin (4g carbs) v nice, then had some carrot batons and hummus. BG was 9 when I got home. I should have known better!
Dinner leg of lamb roasted in the airfryer with airfried veg. Glass of Malbec.

Didn't have the goose eggs @IanBish

Okay, but let us know what they're like if and when you have some.

For dinner tonight I had a battered haddock fillet (20g carbs) with mushy peas (16g carbs) and button mushrooms.

 

[debs248]

Breakfast: Yesterday's leftover frittata

Dinner: Roast pork, roasted mushrooms, peppers, onion, carrot

Snack: Salt & chilli chicken, yogurt (wouldn't normally eat 3 times but chicken needs using, I've been planning to eat it for 3 days now!)

Yesterday was an Experiment.

I had fried fish in batter!!! from the fish & chip shop. Husband had fish & chips. I had intended to have a couple of his chips but actually had no desire for them so didn't. The fish was delicious and the batter very thin. I didn't check BG two hours after first bite because I then had my usual 1 oz of 100% dark chocolate and there wasn't 2 hours after that before bedtime. Fasting BG today was 5.1 so all appears well for that as a very occasional meal. I hadn't eaten anything else that day.

Today I have had my usual Greek yoghurt brunch, and dinner will be roast lamb with green beans, cabbage and cauliflower. Followed by 1 oz chocolate eaten very slowly. Very happy that I can do this now. No intention of taking the carb experiment any further.

Followed by a hm LC chocolate brownie and a decaffeinated coffee.

Fried egg, cheese slice and ham slice for breakfast.
Aquafit class this morning so hungry for lunch which was air fried chicken wings.
I was feeling quite full having eaten more of them than I intended when the family arrived with bbq stuff as it was such a lovely day. I didn’t expect to be able to eat anything but somehow managed a burger ( no bun) halloumi and some grilled courgettes.

 

[debs248]

Meat salad (meatballs, sauerkraut, gherkins, capers, mustard, mayo)

Garlic butter prawns, spinach mornay, curried chicken soup

Again, meds dictate eating an extra snack meal so about to have

Mexican bean salad, blueberry and raspberry yogurt
