Common or not, falling, especially when it leads to damage and bleeding, is a big shock. Am I right in thinking you have a tendency to be rather hard on yourself?
Zounds my good lady a couple of elements I quite like the sound of- sans erythritol. The Ox cheek and red cabbage duo sound doable to me but I must consult the food fairy before any meaningful vote. Maybe an hour Nordic walking for an oldie like me rather than an eliptical - enjoy.Hello all,
@Annb -- Hugs for the fall.
@PenguinMum -- So sorry to hear about your eye injection. It does sound very uncomfortable. Do you have any more to go?
@annabell1 -- The meal with your family sounds absolutely delicious. Love Middle Eastern food, so would have been hard for me to resist too. So, back on the wagon, you'll do great!
Missed posting for a couple of days. Had way too much food yesterday (about 1100 cals more than I burned), and while still less than 25g of carbs, paid for it with the highest fasting blood sugars in a long time.
Today ...
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.
Lunch: Three very small homemade low-carb brownie squares (about 3 cMaybem on each side.)
Dinner: Ox cheeks (@Brunneria -- must have had the same thought simultaneously) baked in a sauce of celeriac, carrot, leeks, spring onions with red wine, beef broth and tomato paste. Cauli rice with onion and eggplant. Spiced red cabbage (with erythritol, vinegar, red wine, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice). Two more small squares of brownies. Two glasses of red wine.
Now off to exercise for an hour on the elliptical trainer to make up for the damage done yesterday.
Hmmm! That site got all uptight because I use a advert / popup blocker and wanted me to turn it off.This is the recipe I used:

My good lady does cook Ox cheek and red cabbage but we have never quite used that combination of other ingredients. We use an IP type device (Ox cheek) and a dutch oven? gizmo (red cabbage). Red cabbage used to have onion and apple pre LC and doesn't really work as well without even with the "christmassy" spices. Anise/star anise might do some good. Will let you know.Any kind of sweetener should do, you don't need much anyway. The red cabbage and ox cheek are quite easy to do, just need some time -- one hour on the stove for the red cabbage and three hours in the oven for the ox cheeks.
Let us know how it turns out if you (or rather your food fairy) decide to give it a try.
Hope you managed to get some sleep.Can't sleep and now worrying that this will affect HbA1c test tomorrow. Actually now later today.
I've heard that some psyllium husk can do that. Luckily never had a purple buns... pyslium husks is easy to get here in Australia this time I've been using the Bonvit brand i bought from Coles I think its a product of India. But sometimes I found the rolls do need to be cooked longer then the recipe states sometimes.You can do it Annabell! Ignore the slip ups, don’t dwell and just move on.
Your rilled roll looks fab. My last batch of those were an unappetising purple/ lilac colour as I’d bought a new bag of psilliym husk powder, a different brand. Now I can’t remember what my original brand was.
That chaffle looks so goodBreakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: left over crispy duck and cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by Greek yoghurt, raspberries and macadamia and coconut keto granola.
Mid afternoon at a local coffee shop: Jaffa Quake Carb Killa bar and coffee with cream.
Dinner: gammon steak, fried egg and leafy salad followed by chaffle with extra thick cream and SF maple syrup.
I have been quietly taking on all the talk of Chaffles on the forum lately and remembered today that I had a sandwich toaster at the back of the cupboard from my student days that had waffle plates which I had never used, they’ve been used now!
This is the recipe I used:

Yesterday breakfast 2 x pork sausages and 1/2 a slice of my homemade pumpkin bread with butter and black coffee.
Lunch cheese and crackers and coffee
Dinner left over tandoori chicken with tzatziki sweet potato and eggplant pickles..then I lost it and had chocolate
Breakfast today 10:30am a DD bread roll with 1 sausage some butter and tomato sauce with a black coffee. As I was rash ou ng to get ready for my 11.30am appointment Then dashed out to visit my GP today for follow up plus also spoke to him about my craving of sweets after eating so he was going to refer me to a dietitian but I said no they will totally be against me doing this WOE so he suggested I see a nutritionist he recommends that he believes will support my choices. We also believe that a combination of my UC and T2D could be causing me to crave certain foods.... I'm so happy with my GP he listens to me and we can talk about things.
When I came home I checked my BSL it was 5.7 mmol/L at 2pm then around 3pm I was hungry I made a salad with lettuce cheese baby tomatoes cucumber sesame seeds, some nuts olive oil and ACV after I ate it I was craving something sweet arrrgh so I checked my BSL it was 4.9mmol/L which is fine but I'm wondering if the drop in my BSL is also causing my sweet cravings. I caved in and ate a few squares of Cadbury chocolates. I think I'm going to ring this nutritionist see if she can help work this out for me and provide some ideas.
It's now 4pm I'm watching some TV but it's so nice outside with beautiful spring weather here and should do some gardening but I'm feeling lazy....
