Good morning
Your FBG is fantastic as usual, how long are you planning shakes for 2 meals for? Probably not sustainable in the long term
Good luck for the tooth extraction, you’ll be needing those protein shakes after, wisdom teeth have very long roots, I had an impacted one as a teenager so they took all 4 out under general anaesthetic
Sure you’ll be fine, hopefully you won’t feel a thing
Hope you’ve got plenty of painkillers in
Have a lovely weekend with your daughter

Not sure about Huel.. but will do it for good if needed.
The Huel black is pretty good nutritionally. High protein and has all the other nutrients required. Except the taste LOL
Experimenting with added ingredients and combos to make it more palatable.
I tell you it really makes you love that evening meal!!
This one should be easy to get out, it has emerged completely and it's over on its side. Fingers crossed, an easy extraction

Then we'll get out and about .. not sure where yet .. we'll mooch around town until inspiration strikes us.

Hope you have a great weekend!

OMG that might have been the easiest wisdom tooth extraction EVER!!
Nice to have something go sooooo smoothly for a change. All under local .. out in a couple of minutes!!!

Hope you’re still feeling good when the anaesthetic wears off

Good morning .. hope you had a lovely Saturday and a good Sunday to come.
Good day here, lots of fun with the fam. A day of cooking and watching movies indoors with the kid (kill me 3 times starring Simon Pegg .. very funny).
No food that I could eat, but my mum and my daughter were in hog heaven.
Penne giardiniera and homemade chocolate & walnut brownies.
Chinese chilli chicken and aubergines with rice for dinner and more brownies and ice cream.

My food as below (really glad I had the Huel to hand as the wisdom tooth removal made tings a little sore LOL)

FBG: 5.3

B: Huel Black vanilla
L: Huel Black chocolate
Afternoon snack: Belgian chocolate diet protein shake
D: Huel Black vanilla & chocolate combo (still meh), protein pudding

Activity
Steps `10000

Evening Workout
4 x 25 Crunches
4 x 25 inverted body rows
1 x 100 press ups
1 x 400 squats

Decided to see if I could do 100 press ups unbroken .. found it surprisingly easy (last time I tried, 2 years ago, I maxed out at 86), still had some in the tank after 100 this time. Stopped at 400 squats as it was getting boring. Have become much fitter since October last year and much lighter too. Not as metabolically flexible as I'd like to be. But you can only do what you can do. Who knows perhaps in a few months if I lose a bit more body fat I'll have some buffer should I eat a few more carbs on some days. We'll see.

Oh man! So sorry to hear your daughter can't come over for lunch today. I bet you were all looking forward to that. Hope you have a lovely Sunday, at least there's a MAHOOSIVE Sunday lunch to tuck into.

I'm still on the Huel over here. Very sore gums and jaw last night LOL I'm surrounded by lonely good that I can't eat. My brownies are legendary it I do say so myself!

Have a great weekend, what's left of it mate.

Oh my word .. sounds awful. Take a rest day mate .. don't push it today.
Let the body rest and fight off the infection.
OMG yesterday's dental pain was high and constant .. same today .. lots more swelling than on the 1st day. Can barely open mouth wide enough to brush teeth this AM. Eating solid food is a painstakingly slow process. Sticking to Huel .. ordering more today. Can't believe I'm going to have Huel for every meal today again. At least work takes the mind off the dental pain. LOL
Take it easy Debbie .. hope your daughter is OK? Not suffering bad symptoms?

B: Huel Black - vanilla
L: Huel Black - chocloate
D: Thai green chicken curry with broccoli, sweet corn, bok choi, fresh coriander (this was agony to eat, not having solid food today!) Choc protein pudding .. this was awesome LOL
Was starving later at night so finished off the remains of the Thai curry .. then took more painkillers

OMG so boring .. not able to eat solid food without pain or drooling at the moment .. looking forward to getting some real food in again soon. However I am saving a fortune on food shopping at the moment by just eating (drinking) Huel.

The dentist forgot to mention that this could take a whole week to settle down. It all seemed too good to be true on the day of the extraction. Virtually no pain or swelling. The next day! Yikes!! LOL Not risking solid food today.
