For me calories are pretty irrelevant - I am sure that I must eat about 2000 some days - the ones with the roast chickens in them, but after decades of low carbing I have no fear of fats - people almost faint when I put double cream into my shopping trolley - lots of it. I eat it with berries and put it in my coffee, but I can't eat grain, most legumes and most fruits. I do have lots of energy when low carbing.
Interesting how some go high and some go low. Last time we were in Singapore and Australia I went higher. Was horrified to hit 10.8 so I quickly got a temporary gym membership and took over the shopping and cooking (we were staying with family). Soon got it down but I spent a lot of time in air conditioned malls. Still remember when we got back to Singapore for a few days before we headed home, turned on mobile and there was a message from Hubby's sister and husband "Dinner time , no food, come back please!"There's a T1 thread going at the mo about how raised temperatures can increase insulin sensitivity...

just a thought
We're having a nice cool day here today - back to the heat again tomorrow I think.
It doesn't surprise me that BG goes up in the heat - it seems to react to just about anything. We lost a close friend today who we've known for about 30 years - a lovely man who has suffered for many years - so it was a relief for him and his family and wasn't a surprise for us, luckily we had said our goodbyes - but I ended up in floods of tears and my BG went up to over 11. Last time that happened it was the pain from my arthritic neck that caused it - this time it was emotion.
There are some things we just can't avoid and most of it seems to affect our BG. For all I know it happens to people who don't have to test their BG - the only reason we know is because we test.
Wondered where you had got to. It's a nasty disease Alzheimer's. My grandmother had it and I couldn't understand what was happening. Does your Mum still live at home?
Eating as quickly as possible after getting up seems to work for some of us. I know @maglil55 's husband boils eggs to keep in the fridge for her to eat on busy days. I aim to have my breakfast within 15 minutes of getting up.
Morning!!
I am terrible am afraid....I always seem to fail at sticking at a good thing when doing well!!!
So, the weekend and beautiful weather arrived and I gave in to more food and unplanned foods than I should have
Any how back on DD today with scrambled eggs for breakfast and a protein / fat salad for lunch
Dinner will be the stuffed peppers as on week 3 DD

He'd never had so many home cooked meals in his life plus I wasn't stuck in as they had an excellent slow cooker.
I have cooked in hotels/restaurants oddly enough. My sister and her husband had a couple of hotels and a restaurant and that's where I learned to cook. It is also why I find cooking for large numbers for family dinners quite straightforward. Wouldn't take over a big hotel though!OMG - for a split second there I thought you were staying in a hotel and took over the cooking ,,,,
My Dad did that when I was very small (he was a restaurateur/restauranteur and former chef). We went to stay at a hotel in Torquay that could have been the inspiration for Fawlty Towers and the food was worse than you can imagine - grey unidentifiable soup, over or under cooked everything. On the third day he'd had enough and invaded the kitchen to cook for us - the other guests were very envious.
Yes we've had a couple of showers. Enough that we won't need the sprinkler on.Anyone else got rain today? Just a light shower - but very welcome.
Been there....done it. We had to replace our shed last year so it had a good clear out and shelves added. Also started a major declutter of the house. Then my son stored some of their stuff in our shed which I am gradually moving back by stealth.....The house declutter is still not complete but a lot of it is done. I bought this book "30 Days to a Clean and Organised House" by Katie Berry (no relation to Mary). If you did absolutely nothing else you could organise your entire house in 30 days but we all have a life! To be fair though it is the plan that is good and the maintenance keeps it organised. Last thing I have to do is finish sorting clothes for keep/charity. Longest job was the concealed storage we have downstairs but what a difference - everything in labelled boxes. I think it will be more like 360 days by the time I finish.Thanks guys, I will press on downwards as they say
Massive downsizing of sheds out in garden and our utility room back of house - several trips to the tip has barely dinted a hole but getting there when out of the blue refreshing rain!!!
Back to sun and flight wind now , so welcome it
Drank water to sink a ship and spoke to my GP re meds, so feel a bit more upbeat....
