Thanks for the suggestion but no ice or heat allowed! Just painkillers and elevation prescribed for two weeks! Pain level is coming down gradually, much less severe than the original ops when the metal work was put in!
@Rachox glad you got at least some sleep and lots'o'rest! Have you tried icing your feet?
Barre class in which my muscles started shaking before 5 minutes were out
Supper sitting out on the patio watching the hummingbirds fight around the feeder; same as bfast but a boiled egg test which my jaw passed, and spinach instead of avocado.
It's been a really pretty day-- not hot at all, mostly sunny, bearable humidity. Back to summer and rain tomorrow they do say.
I agree it’s as if our bodies are constantly trying to reset at a higher level, whether weight or bg, than we are hoping to attain. Like you I was eating a lot more a couple of years ago but I don’t remember having this much of a problem with bg then. It’s a constant battle isn’t it?
I know what I'll be searching for next time I visit the thrift store!@Antje77 "sleepover dogs" what a dear image! Time for a good old rocket box for the chocolate. Bearproof Army surplus ammunition box lol.
I needed the Godiva (it was that or alcohol). I got into an argument at school pick up! I had got the eldest, while Hubby waited for the younger. When I got round to where they were before I knew it I had this "woman" screaming right in my face about how sick she was of my grandson constantly attacking her son and other children. I do mean right in my face. Told her back off, you don't have a mask on. Another screech "don't you walk away" - pointed out distancing, I'm diabetic and you have no right screaming in my face. Asked which child and as soon as I heard the name I just said - oh what a surprise. Called grandson over and she's screaming in his face - you headbutted my son and punched him. I asked grandson calmly what happened and he stated quite clearly he did not headbutt anyone. I then pointed out he does not lie. I knew he was concealing something but I wasn't about to find out with her screeching in everyone's faces. To give you an idea what I'm dealing with this boy has been the bane of our lives with grandson since nursery and he has major issues. His swearing is unbelievable. He manipulates children to do his bidding and he is known for attacking children so much so he has to have a full time "minder" in class. He lives near the boys and worse he is cruel to animals. DIL has caught him on numerous occasions kicking the cats but another neighbour saw him in a group of boys with his own little dog (looks like one of yours @Brunneria laughing while he pulled the dog into the air by it's leash and watch it choke! 6 years old! Anyway, we later discovered from No 2 grandson (confirmed by playground staff) he did not "headbutt" him but he did hit him in retaliation as he was hurting one of his friends, he tried to get his friend away and he attacked him so he slapped him. He knows it is frowned on to retaliate but "what should I do when he attacks me-let him?". I saw the headmistress this morning and apologised for my anger yesterday but pointed out it was due to that woman screaming in my face and, as a diabetic, I didn't appreciate it especially now we know the full story. The things we have to deal with!

@MrsA2 you are allowed to lose track of days on holiday! I keep losing track just because I'm home all the time!
@shelley262 congrats on your "breakfast"!
@Rachox glad you got at least some sleep and lots'o'rest! Have you tried icing your feet?
@DJC3 PLEASE come back to the exercise thread! It's getting boring-- walk, barre, barre, walk....
Bfast same old same old. Avocado, pecans/avo oil (whizzed thoroughly to accommodate the sore jaw, scrambled eggs, flax crisps/dilute soymilk
Much phone time with insurance and mortgage companies getting a property covered
Snack before barre class of plain skyr with olive oil-- a known good flavor

I completely agree - when I first started low carbing I lost 5 stone quickly (about a stone a month) but now I eat much less but have put at least 2 stone back on and my BGs are awful yet, if anything, I'm eating a better diet and less carbs.
A couple of years ago I did lose a stone and got amazing BGs by fasting for five days but the weight came back on very quickly and my BGs returned back to their previous level (plus a bit more) as soon as I went back to normal low carbing. My problem is definitely lack of activity which is something I can't do anything about. Maybe I ought to give fasting another go but definitely not for five days.
Chook - please don't think this confrontational, but could I ask what made you go veggie? I seem to recall not so long ago you were on quite a mixed diet, involving some meat, as well as the veggie options.
Just curious, really.
@Chook & @Brunneria @Goonergal - you are no doubt delighted to get the swabs out of the way. Here's hoping the results are what you want. @SlimLizzy - wondered where you were. Glad to see you back and glad to know I wasn't the only one confined to a cupboard during thunderstorms! @DJC3 - I'd love to get back to swimming but sadly that's one of many things still not allowed to open up here. There's a lack of fairness as we have clusters appearing but not all regions are being locked back down despite some areas being worse than ones where action is taken.
Tuesday bed 6.4 FBG was also 6.4
B. TAG - nothing else. Grandson still nervous but not as bad as yesterday.
L. Tomato and mayo sandwich on LC bread.
D. I made a pizza with Skinny Bread pizza mix. I am a great lover of Skinny Bread as you know but the best thing I can say about this is it's OK. A bit too "bloaty" if there is such a word. I'll try Dr Almond mix next time. I won't repeat the SkinnyBread pizza. Only ate about a third. Did have 4 squares of Godiva though.

You're right, I used to be omnivorous - I especially loved lamb and fish.
Long story short.... I was introduced to a lovely friendly pig that was at least (if not more) intelligent than one of my dogs. Next morning Mr C cooked me my normal eggs and bacon breakfast and I looked at my dogs, looked at my plate and thought 'If the idea of eating dog is so repellent then why do I think its okay to eat pig'. so the dogs got the bacon. Then over the next week or so I just slowly found myself unable to eat any meat at all and even fish seems a problem. I have tried eating it again because it is horrendously restrictive being vegetarian AND low carbing but I can't.
Mr C has now also stopped eating pork but eats other animal proteins and fish.
This is Archie - gorgeous boy but definitely not as bright as that pig.

Zauberflote, you should really be seeing your dentist or maxilo-facial person to sort out that jaw, or it could take a long time.
Unless your jaw is extremely complicated (by injury, surgery or whatever), it should click back in, but the longer it is misaligned, the higher the likelihood that misalignment will become the new norm. Over the years that could be extremely troublesome.
Sorry for the gloom and doom, but that TMJ needs attention.
No worries, usually one or two of the cats join us in bed when it's time to put my book aside and turn off the light, so purring is provided for!@Antje77 that pic is astounding-- now if only dogs could purr!
