11:00 a "nine" seed bar (found once in Morrisons, very low carb and ok), large handful nuts
1:00 pm half an avocado and a bit of blue cheese. 1 choc avocado Ice cream
18:00 buffalo cauliflower cooked in air fryer. Lots of recipes on line . Was OK but not as nice as the photos. 1 glass white wine with a lot of soda

Frustrating and busy day, and a couple more ahead yet. Dread to think what' the stress is doing to my bg, and I'd told myself I was going to put a libre on Tomorrow ready for a holiday we are supposed to be having. Both the libre and the holiday may have to be delayed. Grrr!
 
Bacon and a two egg and cheese omelette, slice of fried bread, two slices of toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Homemade cottage pie, mashed jap pumpkin on my portion, mixed veggies, splash of gravy for lunch.
Cold tinned corned meat and salad sandwiches for supper at six.

Couple of crispbread with blue cheese watching Prime video.

Glass of single malt before I went to bed.
 
Today's the day to experiment with those pork and cheese sausages but that won't be just yet. Today is also my cleaner lady day so it's a matter of clearing the decks so that she can get a clear run at the floors while I stay out of the way. So, once that is done, I'll have some more bacon and egg for my breakfast.

So far only one cup of tea at 3.45 am but fell asleep straight away sitting in the big chair, just a few minutes into "Animal Cops" (must have been about 4.15) and only woke at 6.30. One more cup of tea and I'll make a start.
 
Americano with cream
Ham, Tomatoes.
Smoked salmon.
Cheese Tomatoes

Didn't do any experimenting with sausages today. By the time my cleaner left, it was time for not far off time for Em to come from school. So had some of the beef stew from last week. Same at breakfast time - dozed off at the wrong time and then it was possibly time for cleaner to arrive (she didn't until much later) so no breakfast after all. So tired today. Can't do anything but sit and doze.

Next time, just have your breakfast if you don't know exactly at what time the cleaner will come.
Nothing bad will happen if you're having breakfast when she arrives, just offer her a cup of coffee and do the cleaning afterwards.
 
Breakfast today was eggs, avocado and chilli sauerkraut.

Lunch - a plateful of bits and pieces from the fridge, cold meats, olives, small tomato, cheese. H/m yoghurt to follow.

Afternoon snack while out walking - a few blackberries. Dennis ate the low ones, I ate the high ones.

Dinner- DD casserole thing with mince and cabbage and tex Mex spices. Glass of red.

"Breakfast" was eaten mid morning and was a happy mix of leftovers: pork stuffed cabbage roll from 2 days ago, and a sort of bread made from the leftovers of last nights coated cauliflower, ie ground almonds, parmesan, spices mixed with egg and microwaved

Mid afternoon, a few homegrown grapes, sweetest ever , but trying to give away most.

D: invented and un-named, a mix of bacon and cabbage, runner beans, courgette and peppers with cream cheese, cheddar, cream and a splash of water , served over cauliflower
(In other words emptying out the fridge) was really tasty
2 glasses white wine and soda
2 squares 90% chocolate, which was a shock as I've been on 70% lately.

Weekend break is on after all. Libre on but not yet initiated

Sounds like my cooking style! :hungry:

Yesterday and today was a very tasty soup for dinner.
No idea what was in it exactly, the base was a remarkably tasty vegetarian pasta sauce from my freezer. I obtained the sauce some two weeks ago after sailing with guests. It was leftover and they couldn't really take I back to Germany so I took it home and parked it in the freezer.

After thawing I added water, half a stock cube, some red curry paste (also leftover from the same guests), the last bit of a chorizo sausage, sliced and fried (also from the group), splash of cream and grated cheese.
Dogs loved it as much as I did, cats were too late.

Must have been very low in carbs too, needed only very little insulin for it. :)

Food today, hmm way too many biscuits, probably not enough fluids and a reasonable dinner. Chicken casserole marengo style. With cauliflower rice.

It would be so much easier if MrSlim didn't have to have carbs all the time.

Very happy to be someones favourite auntie, especially when it is to a favourite nephew who is a very good boy!
Glad to hear he still likes me despite having had to spend a night at the vets because of my message! ;)
 
Not much on yesterdays menu that was moderate low carb, as my body demanded and got a bucket load of stuff that I have not eaten for a long while.

Single malt whisky before going to bed, with a extra oxvcodone as the pains were starting up in my gut.

Fingers crossed for a better day today. Not necessarily with less carbs than yesterday but I sure hope you're feeling better than yesterday, no matter what you eat.
 
Almost 9 am and I've finally woken up. The chair was reasonably comfortable for a full night's sleep, which was better than I expected. On my second cup of tea - the first was around 4 am when I did wake up for a while, but that's normal for me. I've taken my basal insulin and a dose of my bolus, ready for breakfast in a short time. That will be bacon and egg with a slice of wholemeal toast.

2nd meal today will be the remainder of the beef stew from the pack I defrosted yesterday. I obviously misjudged when I packed it away - 2 serving spoonsful is too much for one meal. Must make sure not to use that spoon as a measure again.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Dinner: salmon and cream cheese on a LC roll with a couple of baby tomatoes and coleslaw followed by SF strawberry jelly and cream.
