What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

B = 2 big mugs of tea on rising and reading for a couple of hrs then skinny bread toast with president butter. More reading and diary updates then 1 hr saunter with poor old dog (quite windy) L= mackerel and avocado salad. Longest session of lawn mowing since Aug 6th, Evening = broccoli bake _ frozen broc, mozzarella slices, grated mozzarella and some dolcellate (simple and avoids acid reflux for Julie)- with some crispy bacon (so salty - no likey really) and lc tommy k. So another day of autumn/winter passed ok.

Evening all. Those chaffles look good @Brunneria definitely got gadget envy here.

Arrived at work to discover there’d been a very important delivery while I was out yesterday - with thanks to @DJC3



Enough to keep @ziggy_w going for a couple of hours

Lunch was my usual bacon, eggs and grated cheese. Still hungry a bit later on so enjoyed a pack of the newly arrived chicken crackling.

Dinner was 2 Waitrose free range Cumberland sausages, 2 fried eggs and 2 rashers bacon followed by 2 squares Ghirardelli 92% dark chocolate (still have a large box of individually wrapped squares from my US trip in the freezer).

Tea with cream to follow later.

Hoping the famous PM bouncebackability kicks in from tomorrow. Meantime have a cyber hug.
 
@SlimLizzy good to hear that Mr Slim is recovering. Let's hope he manages to keep away from the heavy work. I know that is difficult for some people - many men think they can work on through it but it's really better not to, as I'm sure you will know.

Took a reduced dose of insulin last night but had a hypo during the night. Woke up about 2 am feeling awful, soaking with sweat and heart pounding. Very shaky when I got up and couldn't see very well. Luckily I realised what was happening. Checked BG and it was 2.6! Had a chocolate biscuit from the supply I keep for children. Then a couple of polo mints and went back to bed. 6.9 this morning. One meal a day looks like too little for me - unless, of course, I could manage to eat more. Maybe time to reduce the insulin at night even more than I did last night.

Had 3 eggs scrambled with butter and cream at about 2 pm and didn't think I would want anything else all day, but just had some sardines with a couple of oatcakes. A bit short on drinks today - Em arrived unexpectedly and that took up the late afternoon (playing basketball with a ball and a bucket - I was the bucket holder - very sore on the arms). Have to try to drink some more this evening.

@SlimLizzy glad to hear all is well with Mr S
@Goonergal it looks like the box only just made it, sorry, I should have packed them up better.
@ziggy_w duck prosciutto sounds jolly good.
Today’s food-
B- cheesy scrambled eggs CWC
L- New loaf of Dr Almond flaxseed bread made this morning - couple of slices with butter marmite and cheese. Lovely, I think I missed marmite more than bread.
D- DD pork chop with garlic butter and roast cauli https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/pork-chops-roasted-cauliflower-parmesan-herb-butter
1 glass red. Did the chop in the airfryer and got a really good crackling on the rind.
 
And it did indeed involve liquid. Had a white wine spritzer while waiting for room ( (£12.50 was enough to keep it at one). Americano with cream followed.
D. Fab meal at 21 in Newcastle. Pricey but superb. Cheese and spinach souffle followed by chicken breast with green beans, foie grass, spinach and the best celeriac puree ever. Irish coffee a lot of wine and BGs are fine.
Off to bed now.

I then did some gardening mow the lawns and pruning then went up the road and brought a few things by dinner time I was exhausted so had some salami avocado and cheese and salada biscuits and tomatoes and a cottage cheese pancake. today I had my left over pancakes with butter and maple and black coffee. dinner was lamb chops with tabbela I started now to sit and watch some TV I am still tired from the yesterdays gardening
