An extra long sleep in seems well deserved after an operation!Woke very late today, knocked out by post op painkillers!
Have you got your test result yet?Woohoo - I just got a replacement appointment (for my arthritis) for the one that got cancelled due to Covid. Tuesday 13th October. I'm soooo pleased!
I noticed the discount on the Dr Almond pizza base mix. Like most of their products you can yeast it which I suspect will give it a more pizza dough like taste. I need to check my supplies as I think I got Dr Almond pasta and the pizza mix to try. Thankfully I only had one of the Skinny Bread pizza mix!Evening all. Completed 30 hr fast. Not a happy bunny by the end of it, I was even getting grumpy with Dennis. Drank a lot of water today but still had a fuzzy head and felt out of sorts. I’ll see how it goes tomorrow. Evening meal was Salmon fillet topped with pesto, broccoli and sauce made with Greek yoghurt, mayo and pesto. DD recipe but not my favourite. Maybe it was because I felt so bad tempered.
@shelley262 I envy you your salads from the garden. What have you grown?
@Antje77 I love the dog bed photo. Took me a good 5 mins to decipher all the various bits of dog and how many there were.
@maglil55 what a horrible woman! Really outrageous behaviour. No wonder her son is a thug. Your air fried drumsticks look delicious were they marinated or coated in anything? Re pizza base I spotted in a Dr Almond email this week that they have a pizza dough mix on special offer atm. I was tempted but I need to use up some stuff in my cupboard first. Swimming is hard here too. The pool I usually go to is part of a holiday complex and will be heaving at the moment. I’ve no desire to go near it. Daughter went to Newquay shopping today and said it was terrible. Hordes of people, no social distancing and most without masks even in shops.
@Chook I can’t begin to imagine a 5 day fast. What was your mood like through it? Archie is adorable, such a great, lovable looking lad.

Breakfast: 2x CWC, nut granola.
CWC MID morning,
Lunch, several good sized chunks of emmental. 2 slices toast with pork rillettes. Salad, water and tea.
Afternoon more CWC, sneaky half glass of wine
Dinner: pasta and sauce, lightly died a small onion, added handful of frozen peppers and chopped courgette.jar of sauce from lidl. (21g carbs the whole jar)and stirred in a tin of crab. MrSlim had tagliatelke with his, I had 30 wholemeal penne. BG before meal 5.8, hour 7.5 Two hours 6.1. Glass of water and one of wine. Later lemon tea.
I have been feeling pretty awful and not eating well. Mostly just eating too much cheese and chocolate. But yesterday I came out of the supermarket in tears. There is so much nice food that I am not supposed to eat. Am so fed up of meat and cheese and eggs. I want falafel and puddings and cassolet, I miss pulses. Lentil and bean salads. Rice salad and pasta salad. Coleslaw is all very well but there must go something else? Potato in all its wonderful variety, colcannon, chips, dauphinois, boulangere, baked with cheese. and ofc i used to bake. Bread, cakes and biscuits. And make puddings. Have tried LC puddings. But can taste the sweeteners. Baking with coconut flour is a waste of other ingredients. The texture is awful. Have had some success with chocolate and almond cakes, but chocolate cake was never my favourite. The French do fantastic savoury pastries, cheese choux balls and pâté en Croute. Salmon and red pepper cake. Crêpes, sweet and savoury. All these are banned. And fruit, one of the reasons we moved here is for the delicious fruit. So much fresher and juicer than those English supermarket peaches that are hard as bullets for weeks and go mouldy without ever ripening properly. Now neither of us can eat them freely.
Am thinking in UK there was not so much temptation.
@maglil55 what a dreadful woman, the problem child is obviously learning his anti social skills from her. But how awful for you to have her screaming at you. Is there anything the school can do?
@Goonergal sympathy for your cancelled trip, a wet Brum, is no compensation for missing out on New York.
Just realised what you said about being grumpy while fastening.... I was recommended to put a pinch of salt in with my drinks and it really worked.
Thanks for giving me the reminder about fasting being a good way to reduce BGs - and last time I did it I noticed that it had a beneficial effect on my arthritis - so I've decided to fast next week - Monday to Thursday (last meal will be Sunday dinner and will break my fast on Friday morning).

Does that mean another for Mr C?Yes, mine was negative but Mr C's has finally come back as inconclusive.
