"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

[Antje77]

Those 4 little poults are appealing @Antje77 . I'm curious to know why the birds in that photo are all facing the same way

Because I was approaching them to take(got it right at first try!) a picture so they were getting ready to flee!

Well that got me into trouble again today. Trying to describe the song to friends, I started searching YouTube and Google for "kill dictators Dutch". Not only did it not come up, but I think I'm now on mI6 most wanted!!! I hadn't realised what I was searching!!!

Morning all, hubby wanted to know why I was laughing @MrsA2 hope MI6 haven’t been alerted maybe just google nice pictures of flowers for the next few days Good luck with the job @Antje77 hope you manage to enjoy it.
My vegan gf meal went well at the weekend, it worked leaving a corner of the lasagne with no pasta for me. Will use that strategy again.I did have a small portion of the cheesecake no biscuit base and with raspberries and bloods stayed ok. Back to normal yesterday
B Yog, raspberries,seeds
L Tuna,avocado,salad
D Salmon,celeriac mash,green beans and courgettes

 

[Annb]

Breakfast: the rest of the pea/lettuce/spinach mixture from yesterday. There was a lot of it but I ate it all. Now my BG has gone a bit high. Greedy me!

2nd meal: don't suppose it will be much. I've made some sardine and tomato paste so might use it with some RyVita.

Emotional and busy day today.
Started with vets visit with 19 year old cat. Expecting bad news, she just put everything down to age and "he's doing very well"
Then got 88 year old to walk in clinic. He'd had a fall yesterday and was refusing to go to main a&e because of the waits. Yes he has a broken wrist. No more driving! Needs good hand for walking stick so effectively no hands. BUT still planning on going on cruise next Wednesday!! I want to be on what he's on!
Then a routine mammogram. No worries but ladies will understand the pain and indignity.
Oh, and today was my sister birthday but she died last Christmas so various emotional messages and supporting others.
Exhausted and really enjoying stiff drink (just the one!)
Food was leftover cold chicken and avocado. Then frittata with leftover roast veg and bacon.

 

[Antje77]

That's 4 hugs for you today @MrsA2 , if I counted correctly.
And a winner for making it to the end of this ridiculous day and still eating sensible!
Enjoy your very well deserved drink!

The gully sucking job went better than expected, and I quite enjoyed it too, even if my feet disagree.
Managing diabetes while gully sucking needs a bit more practice, but I'll get there in the end.

Now I only need to not give in to being too tired to go to bed, the alarm goes off at 5:30 again tomorrow morning, and I'm an hour ahead of you. And last night I only had five and a half hours of sleep...

Sounds like a difficult day hugs from me - plus a well done for sticking with the low carb.

Well done on your first day but must be difficult doing it again tomorrow. Treats and a good catch up snooze needed before your early morning alarm!

 

[MrsA2]

It's really second nature now, mostly! No effort, except to resist temptation

 

[MrsA2]

I bet you sleep better tonight. All that exercise and less worry

Can you accompany him on the cruise?

We seem to have taken your miserable weather. At least my veggie garden is enjoying the rain, and it’s not actually cold, just wet.
Breakfast, avocado on lc toast with feta and crispy chilli oil
Lunch, more lc toast this time with planned over tuna and egg “ mush” on it. Then ran out to play pickleball during a brief break in clouds.
Dinner, will be enchiladas using lc wraps, with cheese, tomato, green onion, cilantro and olives on top. I’m using up half a jar of enchilada sauce I’d made and put in the freezer. Trying to make room for the soon to be forthcoming, hopefully forthcoming, fruits from the garden.

Yes @MommaE. My vegetable plot, which is more akin to a nature reserve than a garden, is beginning to look like rain forest. Ferns have grown lush. while tall plants like Hemp Agrimony and Hogweed have shot up in recent weeks.

@MrsA2 lots of hugs from me too.

@Antje77 great to hear the job went well and hope you get some good sleep. I use lavender oil for restless legs at night, and I really think it helps me sleep better too.

@MommaE and @LivingLightly I also have a temperate rainforest for a garden now! I'm embracing the explorer vibe and may buy a pith hat.

I've been off the rails as most people will probably have guessed from my lack of posting. There isn't much positive to say about that, I hope today will be the last day off the rails until I go on holiday at the beginning of July. The holiday will be off the rails, but it's only a few days, then I should be able to return to low carb and fasting.

I've had a lovely morning in the garden, thoroughly enjoying a short spell of sunshine and pottering around with flowers. My general mood is not too bad but I have got the anxiety attacks at night again, so way too much to be a coincidence - it is the carbs that cause them I think. The misery of carbs is so overwhelming I feel such an idiot that I can't abstain. I will keep trying though!

Just got my new desktop PC up and running - keyboard feels very odd, but t does give very satisfying clicks when the keys are pressed. Much better for an old-time secretary who learned to type on a stand-up-and-beg typewriter. So now I can get back online. Odd, my typing seems to be much more accurate with this keyboard.

Anyway, breakfast was 2 RyVitas with mashed avocado piled onto them.

Just had a whole apple - cut into slices because my teeth won't allow me to bite chunks out of an apple these days.

Expect to cook some low carb noodles and add a few veggies to them for a 2nd meal.

Hope you manage to get back on the wagon tomorrow and stay there until your hols - maybe as it's a shorter defined period of time it may help?
Getting out in the garden is very helpful and at least weather forecast looking good for getting out there....but crossing fingers not too hot -dry and warm would suit most of us best If imagine.

Pleased you've got your PC working I've got a mini PC and love it as with a full sized keyboard and screen its great - like you I learnt to touch type many years ago and find it much easier. Better too I think for my neck muscles as you adopt a much better position rather than hunched over a small phone screen.

His wife is taking that duty

Woke feeling a bit emotionally wobbly and tired, not unexpected after yesterday.
Went for a long walk with hubby. Had a small breakfast of yoghurt seeds and raspberries first but we walked further than intended so was very hungry when home again.
Lunch was cold meats, mayo and cold broccoli. 38g cheese and 6 brazils
Bit of moochy shop. Bought a dress £18.
D: cold chicken with hot broccoli, greens and half a carrot , olive oil. 4 brazils, 85% chocolate and cream.

I'm back to logging my food in carb Manager as I'm putting on weight and don't like it. Trying to get back to strict keto.
Remembering why I gave up on Carb manager, its so American and has even more foods in with the wrong values than before. "Cups" and "servings".
Will have to slowly build my own database of foods.
Weighing food too, in case it's portions that have increased.
Today I'm slightly over on protein, 40g carbs (but all from vegs I don't trust the figures on) and only 2/3 fats I was supposed to.

Interesting times ahead

Have you tried myfitnesspal for logging your food? I find it useful and relatively straight forward to use.
