Breakfast: bacon and egg, as per usual. Em, here for a sleep-over, just had bacon with some ketchup. She's becoming quite a tea drinker - first cup in bed, then a mug full with breakfast as well as several others during the day. Must try to break her of the habit of making her own with 2nd hand tea bags.

Lunch: Em had a cheese sandwich, with wholemeal bread which she then heated in the microwave. I didn't have lunch. Ended up feeling pretty nauseous about 4.30 but managed to keep some cold water down.

Evening meal: just had some tomato soup out of the freezer, with double cream added. Not a lot, but it's enough to keep me going. Any more would probably have been a mistake!

Received my appointment for the breast clinic in Inverness, for 27th October. Arranging transport this afternoon for myself, wheelchair and escort. Not sure who will be going with me, so couldn't finalise the arrangements. I think it will be DIL but have to give a name for the ticket so have to make sure by tomorrow. They also want to know the make of the wheelchair and its weight. Have to try to figure that out tomorrow as well. Also have to go and get vaccinated tomorrow.
 
Black coffee x4
B: 11am a coconut flatbread topped with smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado with a dollop of sauerkraut on the side. Few blueberries and Montezuma’s Absolute black buttons to follow.
D: 6pm a DietDoctor recipe - crack chicken but made with leftover pork tenderloin from yesterday. Spinach and broccoli. DGF Notella blondie to follow and lots of tea
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and gingerbread Carb Killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and raspberry chia pudding.
Dinner: prawns, thinly sliced sun dried tomatoes and sautéed slices of courgette in a creamy garlic sauce followed by SF cherry jelly, cream and LC nutty granola.

It looked wonderfully festive and yummy, and it tasted utterly boring, what a waste of time!
So I'll have to think of a way to use the leftovers in a better dish, as my meal was planned to be used for two days, but I'm not going to eat this again tomorrow.

Nailed it, cheese and neighbours to the rescue!
I was going to grumpily eat a couple of slices of low carb bread instead of messing with yesterdays leftovers as I was still angry at those leftovers for not being a tasty meal.
Turned out I'd forgotten to buy bread, so more grumpiness (grumpyness?) but still needed to eat.

Borrowed two eggs from my neighbour (the one now living in a trailer in my garden), grated cheese for a cheesy crust, cubed cheese to add to the filling of my omelet, added some sundried tomatoes and smoked paprika too, et voilá, mood lifted!

Cheese works wonders for both boring food and grumpy moods, and there's enough for tomorrow too! :)

Low carb toast and a couple of boiled eggs that were still hot when my partner brought them in for breakfast.
Hospital cold silverside salad, which are reasonable sized, and yellow jelly and fruit for lunch.
Hospital beef stranglehorse, I scoop each of mashed spuds, pumpkin, gravy.

Had a couple of low carb protein bars, a tub of chobani greek yoghurt that kept in the fridge for me for smokos.

Had a bit of a fight with my painkillers because they are opioids with the new crew that came on, I said one of them oxycodone is take as needed, and when I need them I want them now, not when you get around to it. That got sorted out by the nurse navigator when I told her by text.

Good news is I go home today, get back to my comfortable king single bed.

Thanks for for the good wishes everybody.

Sounds delicious and agree anything with melted golden cheese is worth celebrating

Actually ended up having spicy lamb - my hand landed on that first, not the beef ragout. So I made some tzadziki to go with it - just as well - it was very spicy. Must have developed its strength while in the freezer. Very tasty though.

Neil apparently has a frozen shoulder and has to have steroid injections and use ibuprofen gel. It really is troublesome to him - he seems quite unable to use his left arm. I'm afraid I'm going to have to rely on Em and her dad to help both Neil and myself. I can drive to get Neil to the physio department but I can't get myself into the hospital for my jags on Friday. Em could probably push my wheelchair but it will take both Neil and Em to get the chair out of the car. Shopping is another issue - maybe No 2 son will be able to get some of it; the more specific things will have to be bought by Neil - maybe with Em's help. Luckily she is always very willing to do what she can. Her brother would be more capable but he has gone to the mainland to visit his elder brother.

Have great sympathy for Neil with his frozen shoulder, can be very painful and disabling. Has he got exercises to help? I would like to wish him a speedy recovery and maybe if it is caught early that will be possible.
 
Breakfast,
2 eggs scrambled with butter, 2 cups tea with milk
Mid morning: coffee with milk one chocolate biscuit.
Lunch: 2 crispbreads, chunk of cheese, sardines in tomato sauce, salad, a Clementine, cup of tea with milk
Tea
Dinner: we had been out to look at a car so scratting round for a meal. Bacon, eggs, mushrooms and a couple of rösti for me, rosé wine,
MrSlim had bread and cheese for supper, I had a couple of small toasts as well, because he was eating boursin.
tea with milk at bedtime
Possibly my best low carb day for several weeks

Another bad night not feeling well.
11am ff greek with raspberries and seeds
3pm a piece of the lc courgette bread from the freezer
7:30 pm a bowl of Campbell chicken soup. OK, it's not real food, it's processed but it has been family's go to comfort food for illness since it was first invented. Some habits are hard to change. Less than 20g carbs I think.
9pm suddenly nose and eyes start streaming, maybe that explains why I've been feeling so poorly
 
Breakfast: avocado on wholemeal toast

Lunch: didn't intend to have any, but feeling so cold today so I have just burned my mouth and throat on too hot tomato soup. Must be patient now and wait for it to cool a bit.

Dinner: will be a chicken leg, roasted in the oven with some oil and lime dressing. If I can be bothered I'll have some Brussels sprouts with it. It depends on how I feel after getting my 2 jabs this afternoon.

Em's begging to come back for another sleep-over next week - actually she wanted it tonight but I said we'd have to make it next Tuesday/Wednesday. It's beginning to look as though she wants it to be a weekly thing. I don't know why she enjoys coming here so much - I would have thought I was quite a boring individual for a young girl.

Ouch! The soup is still not cool enough.
 
@Annb clearly Em realises that you are a very special grandma - a big compliment for you and much deserved
Breakfast one slice of bacon and LC toast with one fried egg
Lunch Greek yoghurt with a few berries
Mid pm Lowcarb millionaire shortbread
Dinner salmon in lemon butter with cauliflower cheese and glass of dry white wine followed by LC brownie
Won’t be reporting next few days as up at mums for a caring visit - hope to be back reporting what I eat Tuesday.
 
Tummy still not right today so fasted until 3pm when I caved in to half of hubbys scone at the the garden centre cafe

6pm a small portion of sprouts fried with bacon and garlic on a base of broccoli rice.
Might not be the best option, only time will tell :meh: (I have no idea what these emojis are!!) :woot:
 
Breakfast today was smoked salmon, cream cheese and a h/b egg. Lots of coffee
Lunch was a bacon, Brie and walnut salad with about 1/4 of an avocado - the rest was brown and horrid. One of the free DGF chocolate fudge brownies to follow.
Went to the beach with Dennis and daughter with her paddle board. Got home too late to start cooking so will take the opportunity to fast until tomorrow lunchtime if I can.
Hope all is well at your mum’s @shelley262 have a safe journey.
@MrsA2 I can’t see the emojis at all as I use the app. Yours say ‘meh’ ( the first one) and ‘woot’ ( the second one) I’ve often wondered what they actually look like!

I hope your tummy agrees, but it sounds like a delicious meal anyway so that's a win!

Plan was the other half of yesterdays cheesy omelet. We'll see.

Looks like I've overdosed my cat on his new medication, Atenolol (followed orders but it looks like the orders weren't right). Cat is not feeling well so I'm watching him like a hawk now. Looks like he hasn't gotten worse in the last two hours so hopefully we'll be spared a nightly trip to the vet or worse.

It's stressful enough to not feel like eating, maybe later.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Phd Smart bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and chocolate chia pudding.
Dinner: salmon and cream cheese sandwiches made with low carb bread with coleslaw followed by DGF raspberry and coconut bar and cream. I bought these DGF bars just before I had Covid and by the time I got to try this particular one I had lost my sense of taste! Just found them at the back of the freezer, mmm a new DGF favourite :happy:
 
Breakfast was a miss as I was getting discharged early (9:00) at the hosppital.
Bacon and eggs, mushrooms, toast and vegimite at home.
Sand crab and salad low carb wraps for lunch.
Pork chops and green veggies and gravy for dinner.

Good to be home again.

Edit: I had a typo in the word crab, I put a p at the end instead of b so it was censored **** :D
