Hug for restless night and fbg. Thanks for the kind thoughts. I am pretty certain my food intake is too low in terms of energy but it is about all I can tolerate of the more calorific LC and I don't see any point in forcing myself to eat more. The trade off is my body finds ways of shutting down every 10 days to fortnight and probably releases too much glucose each morning just to be "helpful" Yesterday's hip issue was a shut down message so I didn't do any exercise and today's 5.7 fbg from a huge cal deficit was probably very predictable.@ianpspurs hope you had an easier time getting your socks on today. I take my hat off to you being able to do so much on one meal. I do worry its not enough for a man but I know you are very careful to track your nutrition.
My supper last night was a disaster insofar as it was Chicken Tikka and cauli bhajee which is usually doable but for many unforeseen reasons I didnt get to eat it till 9.30 by which time I was ravenous. So of course restless night and bad FBG followed.
@viv that sounds like you had a really lovely day despite having to pass on various things. I guess the wine over the day helped keep the numbers steady but it is wonderful you enjoyed a special day and got a great FBG. Celebrate!
Bed Thursday 7.2 FBG 6.8. Still feel ghastly. Got the boys to school then back home to curl up for a couple of hours before it's time to pick them up again. It's Lego Club Day and son got in touch to ask me to watch the boys tonight as their babysitter has gone down with this bug now. Decided next going there was better as at least I won't get wakened between 5 - 6 am by tiny feet. @Brunneria - took the first of the Olga Da Polga books along with me. It was Book 2 where Olga meets Boris and soon little ones appear. No 1 was excitedly telling his Dad the summary and how Olga got pregnant then announced "we know all about that don't we". Saw the babies last night. Grandson is very cute with them.
B. TAG with ADOC
L. 1 Baby bel
D. A very rushed bit of chicken breast with sage and onion, green beans and broccoli.
Lots of water and paracetamol.
Boys are good going to bed now so lay down when they were settled and finally cracked the return journey from Chester. Going to stay at Manchester Airport with SIL and Hubby and managed to get train next day with only one change at Preston. All booked now.
Today - got out early as I still feel vile. New symptoms now. While I was out I felt dizzy but I reckon that was probably no food causing the problem. Water helped. Bed 4.9 FBG 6.4
B. TAG with ADOC and paracetamol! Really congested this morning.
L. Nothing - bought water while out and still on paracetamol.
D. Well more late afternoon - got Hubby to get one of my green soups out of the freezer (spinach & broccoli). At least it warmed me.
Later - pork ribs with the chimichurri rub and cheese and chive dip. Wee bit salad.
Hubby just made me another coffee and 1/2 a grenade bar. I'm now debating whether to go for a hot shower or watch the rest of the football.
Been lying down most of today but son set me to work to find best date in July for him and DIL to go see Book of Morman in Manchester since it involves juggling trains, a hotel and the theatre. Putting Mum's previous work skills to good use and my ATG theatre card! Being a nice person I paid their hotel and got them a package on their theatre tickets. It also helped that I know my way about Manchester so they're in sensible places.
OK hot shower wins - can't say that Liverpool and Spurs are playing that well (sorry @ianpspurs).
Enjoy your holiday - some epic posts in the fbg chatty thread to match or better. I hope the breakfast is a suitable treat and the West Highland line serves the intended purpose.Quick catch up for me waiting for Mr C to stir - he’s still asleep and Im downstairs in the airport hotel waiting for him to joun me for breakfast. There is unlimited Cista coffee but I had to pop back to the Tesco express in the airport first thing to buy cream. Very happy now, we’re off on the west highland line later - meant to be one of the most scenic rail journeys but visibility is low here - so wet and misty, I’m not sure we’ll appreciate it.
Yesterday’s food
B: scrambled egg, 1 rasher bacon and a few slices avocado - the last I’m ever buying from Asda they are always rock hard til they go off.
Lunch: flaxseed bun and egg mayo
Plane delayed and got hungry at airport so had some chilli olives and red wine ( because the holiday had started)
Dinner: very late by the time we arrived in Glasgow, luckily restaurant still open, steak with the garnish bits of rocket and mushrooms. 2 chips!! ( not as nice as they looked)more red wine.
I think I will look out for one of those insulated pots for transporting baby food, might be good for carrying cream in.
@Viv19 sounds like a lovely wedding and you did so well in your lc choices, well done on the fbg. Yes I think wine (or gin) in moderation really does help. I always assume that the liver is too busy dealing with the alcohol to bother putting more glucose out into the system.
@maglil55 sorry you are still feeling rough, sounds like a horrible bug. I agree a hot shower does wonders for restoring life into a poorly body.
This is turning into a long post, sorry. One last thing - I found this chocolate at the airport, even lower carb than Montezuma’s (7g/100)
