What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Annb said:

Still hungry but my BG is currently 16.4 so I don't dare eat anything. Might take some insulin without food to try to bring it down but that's a bit dodgy in the evening. Perhaps I'll set an alarm on my Libre in case it drops down suddenly. It's been very high all day so it probably won't.

You're having a tough time again @Annb. I'd forgotten about your son's gall bladder issues too. Did they not remove it?

They decided to leave his gall bladder for now and see if antibiotics would sort it out. He has been much more comfortable since having them but it still hurts quite a lot of the time. He didn't get to the initial appointment he was given (about a week after he got home) because the letter arrived the day after the appointment - it most certainly wasn't delayed in the post - that doesn't happen to local mail for postmen or their families. Anyway, his new appointment is next month, so he just has to put up with it for now.

A bit better feeling this morning - I slept from midnight until 3.30 am and got up, expecting to go back to sleep in a while once I settled into the big kitchen chair. I watched "Animal Cops" on TV but didn't doze off again. Strangely, I don't feel as exhausted as usual. BG at 3.30 was 6.4 (that's after a large correction dose last night) but it has risen since then and was 13.9 last time I checked so I'd better do something about that. Bacon and eggs, again, I should think.

There's still some of the tomato/pepper soup left, so I'll have that later. Might do something with cauliflower as well. Must also include some prunes - things are getting desperate.

Edited a couple of hours later to add: more problems - Dr says DIL has pneumonia, just by listening to her on the phone. Their car broke down this morning and I've just found a pretty large lump in my breast! Can't phone Dr until Monday about that. Happy days!

My friend made low carb almond flour pancakes and cheesy fathead bread!

As a lapsed but fellow sailor, I was more envious of the sunshine and lack of waves

Can't remember breakfast so think perhaps I didn't have any.
Morning spent in the garden doing big jobs splitting and relocating various plants that had got too big.
Lunch was 5 m and s seed crackers with a tin of sardines in olive oil and half a tomato.
2 squares of an lc millionaires shortbread I made yesterday. Went a bit wrong and doesn't have the distinctive 3 layers. still tastes too good though.
Mid afternoon after more gardening, 2 more squares. Rest is now firmly in the freezer.
Dinner, a spicy pork mince and veg dish cooked by my son. Very tasty.
A glass of rose.
Happy sunny Saturday

The crackers were all in with a new selection. I'll photograph them tomorrow as I'm going back to the new large food store at Straiton.

I was looking in the crackers etc section that's maybe how I couldn't find them

Food, Food, Food ...

Mes thinking it is now about wine o'clock it is Saturday night after all and I was working last Saturday night and I will be working next Saturday night

yum yum! they look lovely as does the baker of course

WHEW!
Same meal as yesterday (spicy mixed veggies, fried egg, marinated pork belly pieces and shitake mushrooms), but I spiced up the mushrooms with a little kecap and half a fresh chilli pepper.
Looks like my supermarket has a different strain of chilli peppers than usual .
Very tasty meal, but eaten teary eyed with the occasional sneeze, and all my sinuses are as clear as can be now!

Just last night before bed I read in my favourite magazine (Donald Duck) that people with brown pet guinea pigs have the risk of rain on their holiday reduced by 18%.
So I did a count this morning, and 5 of my guinea pigs are brown, not a chance of bad weather!
Of course the piggies will get an extra treat for this tomorrow.

Seeing as you've already seen a picture of my food yesterday, you'll get another utterly Dutch sailing picture instead.
No waves is pretty (and makes it easier to not spill your coffee), but the accompanying almost no wind means it took us 2 hours to tack our way through a small channel. Worth it though!

Couple of slices of middle bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, small portion of baked beans, low carb toast and vegimite.
Shredded cheese and salad in a low carb wrap, lemon / lime cordial with the usual scoop of help you go powder mixed in for smoko.
Grilled fish fillets (the bag did not have a name on it), mixed salad stuff with some kimchi mixed in for lunch.
Leftover cold fish sandwich, tub of high protein greek yoghurt for supper at six.

Four or five pieces of salty liquorice watching a John Wick movie on Netflix.

Yes I emailed, and yes it was ok to spend all at once so I got a lovely big haul of sweet treats - some of which are still in the freezer. Happy days!

@maglil55 and @Mrs T 123
This is what they look like:

Food today:
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee
Late morning: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and Carb Killa bar.
Dinner Chinese take away: crispy duck, 3 small pancakes, a smidge of sauce and veggies followed by SF strawberry jelly, cream and LC nutty granola.

Lunch today was ham, a h/ b egg, sauerkraut and rocket salad followed by DGF butterscotch pecan blondie.
Dinner was a DD recipe chicken caprese ( chicken breast topped with mozzarella, tomato and basil) with roast veg. 2 glasses red. Chia pud to follow.
@shelley262 those loaves look amazing and such lovely thin even slices - mine always go crooked.
@Antje77 I enjoyed the guinea pig fact. We went on holiday with my granddaughters this year, 3 out of their 4 Gps have brown patches and we only had 1 rainy day!

I took it to the parallel thread. I really don't understand how I ever became a moderator with my tendency to derail!

It's so easily done, I have been a section moderator on a technical forum and I could send the train off the rails as well.

I know I sail close to the wind here at times, but as long as I can mention something about the thread content I think I bring it back on the line. Such as this for an example.

I have just tasted a chocolate biscuit while cooking breakfast and they are very moorish.

Ps, if any spots the M&S crackers anywhere in the South East, can they please post where?
I'm down to my last packet.
They do seem on short dates but I'm already a month over on the packet opened today and it seems fine

I don't know if this is still relevant but I got a couple of packs in the Dartford store on Friday afternoon

Lovely sunny day today and managed to get out into garden it’s garden bin tomorrow and as we pay for it I like it to be full!
So lots of trimming back done
Breakfast coffee
Lunch three eggs scrambled with butter and one slice of Lc bread followed by a few of my last raspberries with yoghurt
Mid pm - oh dear spotted lindt 90% still on offer online so somehow it ended up in my trolley and delivery - bought 2 bars - had two squares.
Dinner steak cauliflower cheese and mushrooms with big glass of red wine followed by DGF lemon and blueberry and a solitary strawberry found growing in garden. Berries will be missed but will move onto my frozen supplies!
