What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi All
Firstly @maglil55 thank you so much for the Boulangere Celeriac recipe and I will give it a go when I get my new knife to cut it with. Thanks also to @AndBreathe for the knife info. I have found something similar on Amazon.
Yesterday usual brekkie, slice HiLo toast and lots of tea.
Lunch small plate salad with crustless quiche.
Supper was Per Peri Chicken left over from Sunday, cauliflower, brocolli and green beans. Today’s lunch likely to be the same and for supper its Fish Finger Firsday (chunky cod ones) more green veg.
 
Morning all. Didn't post yesterday. It was the anniversary of losing my husband and 2 days before that it was the same, losing my first daughter. Ate anything that wasn't nailed down. Went to the co-op and found a Livlife loaf and am hoping that I am back on track. Should say I AM back on track, shouldn't I? Have skipped bf today. Have a chicken breast for dinner with veg and 2 Ryvitas with egg mayo and cress for tea. Have also started writing it all down again.
 

Events as traumatic as these can only be handled in whatever way suits you. Some people need the comfort of food, quite legitimately, and others can't eat at all, and that's right for them. Whatever it takes to get you through a difficult time, is right. If you feel able now to get back to a lower carb way of eating, that's fine but if it takes longer - then take longer.

What you've planned for today looks pretty good to me.
 
For today's breakfast (and maybe the only meal today) was the bean dish I made last night and didn't eat. That was green beans with some home made baked beans and pork meatballs. Feeling pretty full right now, so it might be sufficient for the day.

I have to go for my 4th covid jab this afternoon - Neil will be taking me and will come in with me to push the chair for me. Then I'll wait in the car while he does some shopping. Foolishly, I took my diuretic pills by mistake, so I might have problems. No more fluids until I get back, just to reduce the pressure on my bladder. I'm hoping the injection is into my right arm because my left arm and should are currently very painful (arthritis, I think) and I don't want to upset it any more than necessary. The right one isn't an awful lot better but it is more twinges than full on pain.
 
Hi I put my full turnip/swede in the microwave for 20 minutes then take it out cut the top bit off then it’s like mash just scoop it out with a spoon if u look on YouTube there a video

Just tell them what arm to use.

Last time I was there, the cubicle was set up in such a way that the only way to get the wheelchair in and the nurse, was for her to be on my left side. If the set-up is the same, it will take a bit more juggling to get my right arm into position. Then, of course, the Libre sensor is on my right arm at present, but there's plenty of upper arm space to inject into even so.
 
Or just have her come out of the cubicle with her needle? It's not like you have to get naked for it, so who cares! A firm 'no' to the wrong arm should do the trick, up to them how they want to reach the good arm.
The sensor doesn't make a difference, I had mine in the arm with the sensor.
 

Wow! Now there's some radical thinking - get the nurse to come out of her cubicle! One way or the other, it will be the right arm - the left is just too sore to contemplate.
 

@PenguinMum - whatever you do, please ensure the blade is stiff and the tang extends the full length of the handle. It needs not to flex, or snap when under pressure.

My OH, who is the main cook in the house, was sceptical of my purchase, but quickly converted.

Enjoy!

Just back from getting my jab - right arm but I managed to knock the sensor off when I pulled my arm out of the sweater sleeve. Ah well - only 2 days left on it anyway.

I don't think today is going to be a one meal one after all. I have some fish fingers that I made a while ago in the freezer, so I'll get some of them out and, if I can be bothered, I'll cook some cavolo nero which I shredded yesterday to go with them.
 
@Annb I don't like turnip or swede either but for some reason don't mind celeriac.
Made a dauphinoise today based on everyone advice then added some of my own fiddling about! It tastes delicious (modest aren't I)!
Breakfast; l/c granola, slice of l/c toast, butter and a mocha
Lunch; l/c roll with ham and salad, protein bar
Dinner; lamb shank, green beans, carrots, hm gravy, celeriac dauphinoise! berries, lc lemon cake and berries.
90 lindt....stuffed!
 
It was my lucky day!

My cleaning help came this morning and brought asparagus, because 'she had too many'.
I have no idea how such a thing can happen but I won't complain!

She brought 6 very fat asparagus so I decided to have 3 today and 3 tomorrow because I'd already taken a double pack of burgers from the freezer yesterday.
Had the asparagus with a mashed turkey egg (making them sound even more exclusive ) with butter and salt and pepper, and the burger with some pointed cabbage, sautéed with cream cheese and sambal badjak.
