Before breakfast 7.6
Porridge, blueberries AND a large dollop of greek yogurt.
Walk with dog, 2 hours later 6.4
So I think porridge ( made with water ) is ok for me.
Or am I wrong?
You could try unsweetened soya milk. I use,Sainsbury's - it's in the fresh milk fridge...lower carbs than their Basics long-life version and boils better in microwave for latte

Im happy with porridge made with water. In the passed when I had it with milk I found it too sweet.
I don't have a sweet tooth, I love the savoury stuff. But thanks anyway.

No probs. I love savoury over sweet that's why parsnips and sweet potato aren't on my menu and even carrots.... Just the odd sweet binge now and again.....

3 strips, fries, beans 6.6 at 2hrs. Didn't test pre but unlikely to be 4.6 or less ;)

Knowing my luck it will change to humid, muggy and warm for the time-of-year, when I get there... :p
We should be so lucky. But the nights are drawing out I actually left work in the light tonight,it was dark when I got home but it's a start.and I saw some green shoots of daffodils on the roadsides. I travel through the country and I noticed how much snow there still is on the moors. Roll on spring:D

Well that's it me n bread are parting company for good. Was late in from work last night so just had some peanut butter on 2 hovis. My bs went from 4.8 pre to 8.3 post!!!! I've never had that before. Then today I had chicken an mushroom soup for my lunch with a slice of homemade soda bread, again it went from 4.6 to 8.5! That's the first 2times I've gone over 8. So that's it, bread is definitely off the menu:grumpy:

5.9 tis morning. Work has been crazy this past week and also had a family death. I have a huge day tomorrow with 5 new Board Member joining my board. I am totally sure they will ask lots of tricky questions. Plus, I am doing two major presentations for them on our current work, what success looks like for us and other left brain stats, plus a business plan presentation. Won't get home till 8ish and have told my husband to have the vodka and tonic waiting already. Hopefully after tomorrow I will be able to be online and posting more. :)
