Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

Tea
B: Out - 2 bacon, mushrooms, 2 poached eggs, beans, grilled tomato & seeded bread toasted. Tea.
L: Tuna, mayo & red onion butty on Tesco sunflower & pumpkin seed bread, berries & a mullerlight yogurt.
Alan (OH) made me a coffee with a splash of Baileys & spray cream on top when I got home from work :)
T: Cod with lemon & herb fishcake, a few sweet potato chips & peas.
Tea during the day.
 
Oh, I know this one! Walden Farms has something that looks and tastes like maple syrup, but it's mostly water and chemicals... Not a single carb there. What's in there has never even met a maple tree. Gave me migraines though, but I loved putting it in my coconut yoghurt....
 
Breakfast yesterday: 2 scrambled eggs + water ( with all meals, water)

Lunch: light rye sandwich using vegan mayo and pieces of chicken breast + 1 slice of danish havarti

Dinner: Lazy, repeat of lunch time, same rye sandwich with a stick of celery and a bit of cream cheese in the middle and 5 spicy green olives.

Only now starting to think of what i will eat today :D


** first time trying light rye bread, wanting to see how it might affect my numbers, for obviously white bread sends them higher but so far, it seems to be ok...more time needed in order to be sure as my BS this morning without any medication was 4.2

Pre-Breakfast reading was 5.0.
Breakfast 30g Rice Crispies with semi-skimmed milk and 2 teaspoons Splenda granules.

Today was exception to my norm as lunch usually consists of a sandwich (2 sl. break, pro-active Marg, ham/cheese/egg) - I was at a St Patrick's day celebration with my church so I had: boiled bacon, mash potato, cabbage & swede, followed by jelly and cup of coffee.

Was going to have duck break with sweet potato & veg tonight - now not sure what i will have as not at all hungry????
 
Breakfast today: Bowl of Rice Krispies with Soya Milk

Lunch: Light Rye, Vegan Mayo + 7 olives ( have to finish these 2 chicken breasts in the fridge)

Snack in mid afternoon will be: 6-8 raw asparagus with virgin olive oil, squeeze of lemon, spices and dripped over asparagus

Dinner: Already know I am cheating tonight with a rare small plate of pasta and pesto sauce

Lots of water
 
Coffee, butter, double cream for breakfast.

Split buttered Lidl roll with crumbly Wensleydale, crispy bacon, and fried tomato for lunch.

Toasted Artisan French sourdough (the local Artisan baker rocks!) with smoked salmon, humus and sliced tomatoes on top. Cheeky glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

The sourdough is me giving way to temptation, but they are small slices so I don't think they will turn me to the dark side.

The smoked salmon was reduced at the Co-op. I got about 5 packs and slung them in the freezer and I thaw one out now and then.

Oh, and the LGC in my avatar (at time of posting) also approves. I was instructed very firmly that sharing is the polite thing to do.

Tea during the day.
