Not being able to eat as many chocolate digestives as I used to.
Did you dip them in a lovely hot beverage? :):):)

It's great if you have a decent sized mug to dunk 4 rich tea biscuits in one go. (Then fish around frantically for the bit that breaks off before it turns to mush in the bottom of the mug.)

Mash potato, broccoli, cabbage and slow cooked beef casserole, then a small naughty gf ring doughnut, a real treat :)

Yesterday I had scrambled eggs on I slice of toast(Tesco’s high protein which is fairly low carb) for b/fast, roast beef, Yorkshire pud, leeks and 2 roast spuds for lunch, prawn cocktail for tea and almonds covered in dark chocolate whilst watching TV - not sure about how many carbs were in that lot but it was all tasty!

Today I've had greek yogurt with honey, walnuts and banana, I think we're having sausages for tea :)

Hope it was good :) I used beef skirt and did it in the slow cooker with carrot, leek, celery and a bit of guinness, I'm trying to empty the freezer but there was too much for one meal so some casserole has gone into the freezer, taking up more space than the beef did :hilarious:

A work day hence the standard start.
Granola and yogurt.
A tuna and tomato chutney sarnie on brown.
Banana.
Dinner was diced chicken breast, lentils, beans and vegetables in something akin to a stew.
Think I may have over cooked the Novorapid. :):):). In the past lentils and beans/ pulses have required next to no insulin.
Will see how it goes.;)

2 slices high protein toast with home-made jam for b/fast, chicken and bacon, mushrooms in a creamy sauce with mashed potato (although didn’t eat it all!) for lunch and crackers, cheese, apple, tomato and packet of Ringos for tea. Interesting my BS was 5.0 2 hours after lunch.
