Gyms are now closed for he foreseeable future and running outside looks impossible for a while. As any serious exercise would appear currently impossible I will have to cut down on food quite a bit.
Food and exercise were amongst the very few pleasures still available and they have gone for the time being.
Lets see; the company of friends and family, restaurants, museums & galleries, countryside (travel now banned), holidays, seeing people smile, watching kids play (or interact with their friends at all), a simple hug or a coffee with someone.
There are fewer and fewer things to make life bearable and I have little hope of an improvement any time soon.
Maybe it will thaw enough for a run next week!

Saturday 2nd FGB 8.6
Breakfast ...bacon tinned tomatoes and 2 slices of wholemeal toast cup of tea ( 40 carbs )
Lunch cheese on toast ( I do like bread too much ) with peppers.
3 chocolates and small amount of mixed nuts 2 Ryvita's with butter.
Evening meal small potion of fish and chips with curry sauce ( no idea of carb content .

Sunday 3rd FBG of 9.3 probably a reflection of the evening meal and lack of sleep ( on an early shift so up at 5.30 )
A few slices of ham and some smoked cheese about 8 am then Breakfast at 11 am of 2 wholemeal toast and 2 boiled eggs
slice of roast pork as a snack .( 37 carbs )
lunch ( late 3pm ) small amount of baked beans on one w/m toast , few nuts and a cup of coffee ( 30 carbs )
Evening meal h/m chicken curry and 2 tablespoonful of rice ( 30 carbs )
Total carbs around the 100g
 

If you like bread, I recommend the Livlife seeded low carb bread. I expected it to be rubbish but it's really tasty and only 3.8g of carbs a slice. Slices are small though but you get used to it and it's nice to have a sandwich sometimes. I get mine from Ocado but think it's in Asda too.
