What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

20 gms was about the total weight for egg, bacon and mushroom. I was stuffed Lacto free possibly instead of cream and as a trial. I wonder if it will make hot chocolate/cocoa slightly better,.

Hi @Annb you are doing really well, Be proud. @shelley262 you are also doing amazing, Am humbled.
My food today:
Breakfast usual slice LivLife toast butter tea x2.
Lunch was cheese & tomato omelette at local pub.
Supper cooked Lamb Keema from Simple Indian by Atul Koochar and son and one portion in freezer.
 
Evenin’ All,

B: maccies bunless breakfast shared with mutt no 3 while 1 and 2 were at the groomer.
Had to pick them up early. Poor groomer distraught! Literally shaking, and I could see she had been crying. Bless her. Abjectly apologetic. Her hand had slipped while clipping No 1 and caused a slight cut (scrape?) on lower eyelid. Lots of blood, but she treated it, Mutt 1 was very stoic (for a change) and I had to reassure the poor woman. She is lovely. The cut/scrape is no bigger than a millimetre square, but it is VERY close to his eye, which is probably the main cause of her distress.
Anyway, we got home and he launched straight into python wrestling, so obviously no harm done.

L: and early B’Day meal out, since we both had the day off work. Used our xmas Miller & Carter voucher.
Decided to indulge (how many times are you 53?) so had their garlic prawns on gf toast starter, 10oz ribeye, aged 50 days, and creme brulee.
Interestingly, no interest in the carbs once they were on the plate. Left most of the toast (just mopped the garlic butter) and the jacket potato... waste of good butter! Did enjoy the brulee though.

D: absolutely not interested. I think my stomach is 1/3 of the size it used to be in my heyday. Lol.
 
Today I have fever because my irresponsible Uber driver was coughing all over me 2 days ago . BG is higher than normal . There is a flu epidemic here so let’s see how it develops . Isolating myself at home ...

Worked from home and finished worked early .

Breakfast : a fried egg , 2 spoons of beans , 1-2 mushrooms , a few spoons of LC parfait

Lunch : a small bowl of soup , water

Dinner: will have chili in a few hours. Might have tea and lemon too.

Bf is taking care of his kid and I’m sick and need to work over the weekend . So I have to manage alone . Already missed him


Also hungry
Also need my mom, a lot
Also need a puppy or kitten to cuddle
Wish I could have some orange juice without sending BG to roof

PS:
Want a cream puff too ! I love to lick the cream
 

Happy Birthday for yesterday. I love Miller&Carter steaks. Glad there was no drastic damage to No 1s eye, what a brave chap.
 
Hope you feel better soon and the fever subsides. Yeah I know what it's like to just want your parents, I am glad mine live close by. Tea and lemon might help you feel a bit better. I offer consoling hugs, and good wishes. Because everyone deserves health and to feel ok and not ill.
 
I’ve just finished a glass ( about a double) of the Hotel Chocolate cream liqueur. Zero carbs apparently but put my bg up from 4.4 to 6.8 at 1 hr. Blimey! Not sure what to do with the rest of the bottle now.

weighing day and lost approx 3lb
So
Breakfast 2x CWC, nut granola, 2 scrambled eggs with cheese.
Lunch. 2 slices pain kapnor brie and ham. Salad, CWC
Faffing with the freezer .
Faffing about with logs.
Bit of decorating, Michael Angelo style, lying on kitchen unit behind the cooker, painting around the extractor. Fiddly job, took ages. Dinner very late. Two glasses of wine beforehand. For stress reduction.
Dinner. Scallops in a champagne sauce, ready made. Pork casserole. Again ready made, but this time by me. Yoghurt and berries. More wine. Far too much chocolate.

Added later.
Forgot about consequences of too much wine. Woke up 3.30am hot, hungry and very thirsty.
2 glasses of water and back to bed.

I see on thr HC website it says 0 carbs but doesn’t list ingredients. Ingredients are listed on John Lewis website - explains the jump in BG: Fresh cream (from MILK), water, sugars (sucrose, glucose, maltodextrin), neutral alcohol, dark chocolate (cocoa solids (cocoa mass, cocoa butter), sugar, emulsifier (SOYA lecithin), natural flavour (vanilla)) sodium caseinate (E469), tri- sodium citrate (E331), glycerol mono stearate (E471), sodium stearyl lactylate

HC really do need to sort out their nutrition labels
 
Thanks for the Birthday wishes. But the actual day isn’t till next week. We celebrated early cos I am away fromhome next week on the actual day. One of my standard internet security measures is to never give out actual birthday date, so it will pass unremarked, next week.

it just makes sense to me not to give anyone my actual details. You hear such stories of ID theft, don’t you?

anyway (in case I don’t get back online later), today will be scram egg, bun less carb less burger on the run, and some variety of chicken this evening. Am taking my gloriously shiny new thermal copper costa flask/bottle thingy with me. Soooo sexy. And I never thought I would say that about a bottle.
 

Good grief! Thank you, that’s ridiculous.

Stick to singles? Just a thought.
 
Got back last night very late from holibobs so here’s yesterday’s food:
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Packed lunch by the pool: 3 x slices of ham, 2 x cherry tomatoes, a packet of cheesies followed by LC carrot cake.
Mid afternoon (still by the pool!): Diet Coke and a peanut phd bar.
Dinner at Bella Italia: gamberoni (spicy prawns) with roasted Mediterranean veggies followed by coffee with cream.
