I took a couple of ham sourdough sandwiches into work for lunch today. But we had a meeting and there were chocolate digestives there. I had three, and I'd forgotten how sweet they were. Too sweet, in fact. For dinner I had some haddock with mushy peas.

Today I went out for lunch to the family's. We had a roast leg of lamb, mashed stew, cauliflower, peas, carrots, tenderstem broccoli and roast potatoes. No pictures, but it was very nice.

Down 1.4 lbs last week. In a few weeks I should be leaving the thirteens behind.

Lovely looking fry up. Haven't had one in ages. Must remedy that soon.

Lunch today was a small (ish) sourdough red salmon sandwich. And for dinner I had some ham with a few Jersey Royals, and Brussels sprouts fried with mushrooms.

Dinner tonight was a battered haddock fillet, with mushrooms and broccoli.

Today I had a lamb shank in a mint gravy, with Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and a medium red rooster potato sautéed in lard. My usual supplier had run out of lamb shanks so I had to turn to an alternative source, and it wasn't great. Also I forgot to look for Jersey Royals, which are in...

I haven't had a takeaway in a while, so tonight I had one. A Madras-strength chicken tikka Dopiaza with a small pilau rice.

Down 1.5 lbs. Maybe saying goodbye to the wine is working!

For dinner tonight I had a battered haddock fillet, with mushy peas and mushrooms. All in about 35g carbs.

Dinner this evening was a couple of minted lamb burgers, with a side salad (badly) dressed with home made mint yoghurt. Not very photogenic, but I enjoyed it.

Well done. Great result. Good luck with your other issues.

We had a meeting in the office today, and they passed around some small millionaire shortbread type things. And I had one, automatically and without thinking. Anyway, for tea tonight I defrosted a home made chicken & mushroom jalfrezi and had it with cauliflower rice with finely-chopped...

I used to cook it on a high heat in a steel pan, but despite opening the windows, the smoke used to get a bit overpowering. I now use an air fryer: 230‭⁰C for 6 minutes and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Dinner tonight was a lovely, tender sirloin steak, with peas, carrots and half a tomato. Basic, but lovely.

Lunch today was a lamb shank in red wine gravy, savoy cabbage fried in butter, a few roasties, and carrots. Hardly inventive, but it was very nice.

Today for lunch I had a sourdough red salmon sandwich. It was maybe a bit too much as my BG went to 7.2 after two hours. The bread is quite dense, and I'm not sure it's actual sourdough, even though it says so on the packet. And for dinner I had a couple of small cod fillets in breadcrumbs...

I lost 0.4 lbs this week. This is still quite a long process: plenty of Vitamin P is still required, but it's not difficult and I am never hungry. I've given up the wine, and have a couple of pints of Guinness 0.0% a week and the odd gin & diet tonic.

I had scrambled eggs on sourdough toast the other week for the first time in ages. But I scrambled the eggs quite slowly until it resembled rice pudding (sort of). I added a knob of butter, plus salt & pepper, and I really enjoyed it. I'm not all that fussed on low carb bread (I wish I was).

Well, the lunch in the office wasn't too bad. There was gluten-free and vegan food, but I had a couple of small egg mayonnaise and ham & pickle sandwiches, an onion bhaji, a quarter of a Scotch egg, and a couple of cocktail sausages. For tea tonight I had something carb-lite, so I had bacon...
