Sunday 11 June bed 7.8 FBG 7.9. No swimming today as the youngest still has a bad cough. Let me get on with some much needed cleaning. My much improved vision has me noticing things that I didn't before. When should I inform Hubby that the house WILL be decorated?

B. 2 slices of SRSLY toast with Ploughman's Pate. Benecol dairy free and usual TAG.

L. Nothing - Cleaning disturbed as grandson needed to go to the pet store for Guinea supplies.

D. Campari and soda. A new recipe. Tuscan chicken. I've added it to my CMT. There's a slow cooked and an IP version. I used chicken breasts. I thought I'd photographed it but couldn't find it. Took a copy of their photo. Very nice.. served with a mix of mushroom, green beans, and sprouts.

CC little chocolate pot with raspberries.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a food dr bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and carb killa bar.
Dinner: bacon melts with salad.

 
Monday 12 June bed 7.3 FBG 7.8. Great results @Annb. Well done. Another Aquafit class this morning. Very energetic too! The day just flew by.

B. TAG and a slice of SRSLY bread with a cheese triangle. Benecol dairy free. I was a bit pushed for time between school runs and getting to Aqua.

L. A bit of crustless quiche.

D. A M&S wagu burger with mustard and jarlsburg. Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, coleslaw, mayo, all on a SRSLY seeded roll. Moretti Zero. CC Little chocolate pot with raspberries.
 
Morning all. My day didn't go as planned! A very mixed up day with me eating anything I fancied in spite of being good at Pensioners lunch. So my readings were up and my mood went down. But it was my own fault. So today will be as near carb free as possible. I have turkey, ham, salad, mackerel pate and coleslaw. Just need to find some will power. Have a great day folks. Enjoy the sunshine.
 
B-cheese omelette with kimchi.
L- h/m scotch egg, airfried. The crumb was made from blitzed pork scratchings and flaxseed. A DGF cookie to follow.
D- the liver from Sunday’s chicken, fried in butter, on Livlife toast. Then a couple of tuna nuggets. I saw this recipe on one of those annoying reels that pop up on fB. The whole thing took less than 5 mins to put together. Mix 1 tin tuna with an egg, grated cheese ( couple of handfuls) and some chilli. Shape into nuggets and airfry about 10 mins. So quick and easy.

Another scorcher in prospect here, so made ceviche to avoid unwanted heat in my kitchen.

L: Ceviche made in advance using haddock fillets cured with lime juice, zest and salad onions, then combined with tomatoes, green chillies, cucumber, black and green olives, chopped coriander and olive oil.

Fairly early breakfast of the broccoli and tomato mixture from last night with 2 fried eggs on top.

Might be enough for the day, but we'll see.

Wasn't enough so I roasted off some chicken thighs with onions and mushrooms. Had one of them with some of the mushrooms but it was really too much and now I'm feeling very full.
 
Late breakfast of kefir with shelled hemp seeds after early dog walk
Lunch half a LC roll with ham and tomato
Mid pm LC ginger cookie

Morning all. I was very good yesterday and my readings proved it! I had fried egg, tomtoes, mushrooms and 2 slices of ham and pork fried in butter. For tea, 3 small crackers with Red Leicester cheese on plus1 tomato. Today I have Better Naked sausages (very low carb) with broccoli and cauli. Plus bone broth gravy. My kitchen is cool so it doesn't bother me when the weather is so hot. Maybe some salad for tea. Have a god day folks.
 
Problems getting shopping this week - the car is still in the garage (no news on that yet), Alistair is using his at present and Neil is suffering the effects of this chesty cold, so doesn't feel like going on the bus to town and lugging back a load of shopping. A taxi would cost about £50 for the round trip, so that isn't on. Tried to get a delivery slot from Tesco - thought I had one, in fact, but got that wrong. The first I can get is for next Saturday so I've gone for that. We've run out of yoghurt and are going to run out of milk by Saturday. I have some eggs, so will have to make them last - not even sure that Tesco will deliver eggs anyway, they didn't last time. I'm surprised these days by the amount of fresh food that Tesco doesn't have available. Every 2nd request, it seems is "currently not available".

In any case, breakfast is going to be eggs - scrambled, I think.

2nd meal is going to be lamb tagine.

There's loads of stuff in the freezer anyway, so I won't go short of food - just maybe not what I wanted.
 
Strange brunch of an avocado, small piece of cheese and small plain Greek yoghurt. Dinner will be a sort of Mediterranean thing of courgette, tomatoes, spring onions, olives, aubergine, leftover juices and meat from the roast lamb we had yesterday, olive oil and some herbs, cooked in a terracotta baking dish.
 
Is " Good Butter " the same as " Best Butter " that was a term used when I was growing up
 
I've tried kefir but can't get to grips with it .I was hoping that I could use it instead of sauerkraut as a probiotic .
 
Yes we should definitely have a yummy emoji ...
