Nice tip on the cauliflower rice instead of potatoes. I hadn't thought of that. Those sprouts look lovely too; I can't wait until Christmas to have them again.

Last night i did succumb to 2 x 30g of cheese, one before and one after going to the pub. At least it stopped me falling into worse temptation.

Today
B: 3 small scrambled eggs
Lunchtime, massive headache so slept in the chair for 90 odd minutes

Went for 30 minutes walk, munching a bag of pork scratchings.

Later 2 bite of hubby iced chocolate croissant . Just to try this new line the local artisan Baker is doing. Curiosity was satisfied, won't need to try them again.

D: 2 beefburgers served with broccoli and green beans.
A cc little chocolate pot with 2 teaspoons cream.

Out again later but there be no alcohol or food temptation at this meeting.

Evening all, back to posting after a few difficult weeks. As fate would have it today was my annual diabetic review, I’m just hoping things haven’t gone too awry.
Black coffee until lunchtime then a chicken salad sandwich made with low carb bread and h/m mayo. DGF Notella cookie.
Dinner was slow roast beef short ribs with garlic cauli mash, baked mushroom and sauteed asparagus. Glass of red.

I'm sorry to hear you've been having a hard time and very glad to see you're back!

Should your results not be what you'd like them to, you'll know the cause, and with meals like today you'll be back on the wagon in no time.
 
Creamy, cheesy, leeky goodness with shawarma meat (still on offer at my supermarket so I'll keep eating it).



I forgot my lunch (which is also my breakfast) on the kitchen table today, so 5 hours of work on an empty stomach, very glad my basal is spot on and I don't need to eat from a diabetes point of view!
I finished my workday with a quick swim from the ship I work on, followed by a rush to a supermarket to buy a dried sausage to eat on my way to the gym at 4 PM.
A second swim after the gym, and home for a couple of beers before cooking dinner.

The only thing I dosed for today was the beer and I spent most of my day in the 4's and low 5's, apart from a short rise to the mid 6's from the gym and sausage!

Steamed French beans and mangetout with a knob of butter.
