Hope soon better @Bebo321. Feet up doing chair exercises for a few days? you could always watch Le Tour whlist doing some foot tapping.Only a 45min cycle in the end - blew myself up trying to keep up with hubby!(Having a pesky cold might have had something to do with it!)
Thank you.
I drink: black tea or coffee, water and a little white wine at week ends.
Brekkie: 2 97% meat sausages and a poached egg
Lunch: 2 baby bels
Snack: handful of peanuts
Dinner: salad, greens, lentils and fish or meat.
Sometimes quiche, bean bake or fish soup
Dessert: LCHF ice cream or choc mug cake - twice a week.
Choccie: 3 squares of green and blacks dark.
Not huge amounts of fat! Don't eat huge platefuls either.

How about those sausages? From a good butcher or commercial brand? decent farm shop good quality sausages would have better quality meat, and less cereal and fat in them. just a thought, I know they are more expensive, but I buy less of the expensive stuff and have smaller portions, just increase the veg portion to make up the volume of grub.All I can see on there that might be an issue is the sausages really as the rest seems ok. Maybe you are just unlucky and need to cut out the LCHF ice cream and mug cake as well and just have berries and yogurt instead? Does anyone else in your family have cholesterol issues as sometimes it is familial. My friend's husband has just been told he may need statins in near future and he is thin, exercises regularly, eats healthily. Our vet was a triathlete and his was very high at 30 so it can just be luck of the gene draw. Hopefully the meds will help lower it for you.
Well it seems you eat a very healthy diet! It was just the sausage and ice cream that I remembered but I don't read all the threads.Apart from the sausages, I don't eat red meat. I mostly eat salmon, sea bass, chicken breast, salad, green veggies, bean bake, lentils and crust less crab quiche. I don't have huge portions. Baby bel x2 at lunch plus a handful of peanuts and dessert (either mug cake or my ice cream) twice a week.my salads consist of cucumber, cherry toms, olives, avocado, peppers and feta.
Am going to carry on as normal, take the statins and see if there's a difference. If not, I'm not going to continue with the statins as no point.
By the way, I am also thankful to this website and the very lovely people on it! We are the lucky ones so don't be sad!
No. Just been really silly. Stressful few days at work, went to kid fete, ate 1/3 of muffin and 1/2 mini fudge. Got home and opened family bag of crisps. Got bowlful and small glass of wine. Bs 8.5, 7.8, 8.5, 8.3. Really silly. Feel slightly tipsy. Now cooking pizza for kids. Went to cook crab pie but what I thought was crab turned out to be water chestnuts!Yes it was. I even have some Internet access today, so checking on my cyber mates.
Hope you are feeling good.
Probably bloody mother. (I love her loads but that side of family is a genetic nightmare! She has cholestrol issues. It was only recently that she thought to tell me that my grandfathers family were all type 1. And high blood pressure.)All I can see on there that might be an issue is the sausages really as the rest seems ok.

Aw Sorry,@connie104 I do go on about swimming and pool exercise as it is the only sort that doesn't hurt me to do. Also I stayed away from the pool for 15 years because I was stressed, busy, putting other people first with no time for me, and also very self conscious of being the fattest person in there. never again will I allow that to happen to me.
The ice cream is just frozen berries mixed with cream! Twice a week! If I have mug cake then don't have a portion of ice cream!Well it seems you eat a very healthy diet! It was just the sausage and ice cream that I remembered but I don't read all the threads.
Let's hope the statins do their job.

I know! Pain isn't it! Am watching mamma Mia as consolation with kids for the millionth time! Hubbie just come in! Thank god mr scandi is so chilled!I did chuckle at that. I just wish mine had never married as mother's lot have T2, high BP, glaucoma and mental health issues and dad's lot have cancer and heart issues- lucky me I seem to have got covered all the major disease groups.
Big hug! Feeling militant after eating stupid food! Cross with self. Just felt p**ssed off so ill sort them all out for you. I've got my frying oan at the ready! Lol!Just back from a 40 minute stroll up a hill. I had to get out of my house because my family are driving me nuts . They are so negative sometimes and can't see what they have for missing what they haven't. ... ¥₩~>`÷<`¡¡|▼↑↓↓ # going to scream ..lol

...it was interesting reading what a couple of you eat, yes I'm diabetes obsessed too aren't we all lol, what does everyone else eat on a typical day...? I find I've become very boring with my food as I tend to eat the same old things, maybe its work and not wanting to cook much when I get home, I don't know..
Breakfast is often a small natural yoghurt with some strawberries or cherries..100ml V8 veggie juice and a coffee
Lunch a homemade sandwich which I make before work, often egg or cheese or ham ~ almost always with Livlife bread, as only 3.8g carbs per slice, very filling....
Dinner often a chicken breast, or quorn sausages with lots of veg and a bit of gravy or sauce..
I don't snack in the day but evenings I always feel hungry, love cheesstrings or babybels with walnuts or brazils...
