Sunday 20 November bed 6.7 FBG 7.2. No swimm8ng lessons today but Hubby was going to some football hospitality event so I was the taxi service there and back. In-between times I hit the Fort and pretty much concluded my Christmas shopping. It's now Hubby's turn to start wrapping.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo.

L. Nothing

D. Just me as Hubby had a meal at his event.I treated myself to a rack of lamb, wilted spinach and asparagus with hollandaise. Didn't finish all the veg but I did eat all the lamb!

I did feel really bad last night. Why is it you get worse at night? Another 2 steam inhalations, paracetamol and a good coating of Vicks. Even then it took ages to get to sleep.

Today Monday 21 November - bed 7.3 FBG 6.7. Back on the school runs as youngest has recovered from croup and has returned to school. I am feeling much better. I had my doubts about going to Aqua this morning but I'm glad I did as the humid atmosphere has really helped my "crackly" chest.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo.

L. CC Little chocolate pot

D. Remains of the cold cuts. Ham, roast beef, pork & egg, ox tongue, chicken and coleslaw. DGF Christmas pie with cream and 4 blackberries.

The last of my Christmas presents order arrived in M&S today so I collected it on the way back from swimming. I even got my crackers today! Shopping is booked at Sainsbury's and I'll take the order to the butcher tomorrow. The upcoming eye operation has really focused the mind.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Bacon and two egg and cheese omelette, tomatoes, mushrooms, two slices toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Shoulder pork chops and veggies done in the oven, gravy, five mandarin segments with L/L sorbet for lunch.
Toasted ham and cheese sandwiches for supper at six.

Glass of single malt before bedtime.

Was hungry on waking but managed to skip breakfast by having a cwc.
Exercise class followed by coffee with friends (herbal tea for me)
L: 2 scrambled eggs with 2 slices decent ham and half an avocado.
I've started buying the packs of 3 baby avocado from Lidl. They do look tiny but the stone is much smaller than the mediums ones so I reckon you end up with the same flesh, and there don't seem to be as many bad ones
Mid afternoon. Rather too many hm lc digestive style biscuits. Tried a new to me recipe which worked well, but rather too tempting.
7:30 (much later than my usual 6pm) out with friends at pub. Burger with cheese and bacon, no bun, swapped the chips for salad. Had mint tea while rest had puddings. 1 small white wine with a huge amount of soda. 2 sqs 85% when home again.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. Up very late this morning but levels are quite good so I;m going to fast as long as possible today and if and when I get hungry, I will have scrambled eggs with cheese.

I asked Neil to buy me some crumpets when shopping yesterday. I thought I would try one and see what effect it would have on my BG. He came back with Scottish crumpets - not what I was picturing at all. Should have been more specific about what kind of crumpets I wanted. Anyway, I had one this morning with a couple of slices of ham. Hasn't bothered my BG at all, so far.

I just reheated some of the chicken chasseur for my 2nd meal yesterday and left the fish, but I will have the fish for today's 2nd meal. It's smoked haddock so I'll poach it in ff milk and butter. I'll also have a few peas and spring onions with it, I think.

3rd, if I can be bothered, will be something with egg.

Hi All
Yesterday Made some good soup with stock from chicken carcus and shallot, leek and broccoli, thinner than I like but really comforting. Supper yesterday was lamb steak and chopped and fried Portobello mushrooms x 2.
Today got back very late for lunch so for speed rolled some cold chicken n a well buttered slice LC bread and finished up two thin slices pastrami also.
Supper tonight will be my stirfried chicken, chorizo, red pepper and paprika thing with cauli rice. Mr PM now likes his half to be stirred through rice so I do the dance of putting my half in my bowl while I fold rice through the other half on the pan, serve that, then stir my bowlful through cauli rice and heat on the pan. @Annb good news re the crumpet, how does a Scottish crumpet differ from any other?
PS. All brekkies slice LC toast, lots of tea, but then you knew that.

A Scottish crumpet is a thinish batter of flour, egg, sugar and some butter. It is like a dropped scone (Scottish pancake) but bigger and thinner. What I wanted, of course, was the English crumpet which has a texture all of its own, is a yeast mixture, thicker but smaller and not sweet. It has to be heated through, usually by toasting, as I'm sure you will know.

@DJC3 I love a rack of lamb (Hubby doesn't!). I had a better night last night. The humidity at the pool really helped. Fuzzy head was back today but I suspect it was lack of breakfast. It's weird, it's like vertigo but not quite as bad. It seems to be the tail end of whatever bug we had as SIL, DIL and myself are all suffering with this fuzzy head which is knocking our balance off. I'm OK at the moment but I've had a rest.

D. M&S wagu burger with lettuce, tomato, avocado, coleslaw and SLC pickle. It's odds on I'll have a CC little chocolate pot.

I'm glad to say my dentist gave me the details I need about why he changes my local anesthetic, what meds I'm allergic to and he's looking to find out what I need to stop taking while I'm on antibiotic. I still cannot believe the doctor couldn't give me this information on "confidentiality" ground! They're my allergies for goodness sake.

Morning all. First... the confession! I had the pudding yesterday, it was bread and butter pudding, probably the worst kind for me but couldn't resist. So didn't make the huge sacrifice after all. Had bacon and egg for tea. Today I'm having sausage, egg and tomatoes. For tea I have Avocado with prawns and a Keto Ranch dressing. Bg's same as yesterday so am fairly happy about that. I can't use the treadmill yet so am doing other exercises that seem to be helping.
@Annb, did you make the tomato soup? It sounds delicious because I love tomatoes.

@RosemaryJackson I'd be interested to know what the other exercises are that you've found helped other than the treadmill? I need to try various types of exercise having tested before & after but a heads up would be handy thanks

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. What a grey day! Bg's fairly steady atm. My menu today is airfried chicken plus cauli and broccoli. Snack 70% choc with raspberry bits in. Ham and boiled eggs for tea. @LauraGM, hello. I'm 84 and overweight so am not capable of too much but I jog (in my fashion which is more bouncing on my toes and raising my heels) and swinging my arms. I have a 2 and a half kilo kettlebell which I swing and I do push-ups against the wall. There are some seated exercise videos on Youtube that I occasionally do. Atm, I'm trying kneeling push-ups but not getting on very well. Good luck.
