Had No 2 grandson all day today so a good day to fast. Until evening I was on black tea or bouillon and water of course. Went visiting after feeding No 2 lunch as brother and SIL are off tomorrow to go visit 1st granddaughter (we had a family of boys up to this point) so wanted to drop off a present.

B/L - Nothing apart from black tea or bouillon and water
D. A mish mash of leftovers. A really weird meal which I couldn't finish. A few fresh anchovies, half the chilli salmon from 2 days ago, 5 bits of the tikka chicken from yesterday, tbsp chilli coleslaw, lettuce, 4 assorted mini tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, few bits roasted peppers, 3 Walnuts, cheddar mini, 4 mozzarella pearls and helmanns. Left half - just too much.

BG was same again but phone with all my figures recorded is charging at the moment.
 
Breakfast: 2 fried eggs on a toasted and buttered Lidl roll

Lunch: Fish and mushy peas (from the chippy) - only ate a small amount of the batter

Dinner: Not sure - half a dozen of us are going to a friend's house for a 'girls night in' so it could be anything although my friend knows the sort of things I eat and why. My contribution is Prosecco, chocolate and cheeses.

Drinks: Lots and lots of Prosecco - although it won't be a late night cos Mr C has got an MRI booked for 8.30 tomorrow morning in Sheffield which is 50 minutes away.

Good job I took the nuts and cheese because it was a home delivery pizza, Thorntons and DVD night. Had a good time but had some cold roast chicken when I got home :( (The Prosecco was nice).
 
(very early) Breakfast: Two boiled eggs and buttered Lidl roll soldiers

Snack: Alpro roasted almond milk (unsweetened) with some no added sugar banana flavour Crusha - it was lovely to taste banana again even if it was 'flavour' - this was a really low cal and low carb drink

Lunch: Packed lunch of half a pack of Lidl mozzarella balls (the ones that are less than the size of a walnut) and half a pack of their chilled mixed olives - with some lettuce - which had no affect on my BG whatsoever :)

Dinner: Roast chicken, salad, grilled chilli halloumi, baked aubergine

Dessert/supper: about 40g of fresh Raspberries
 
Bed 6.6 FBG 6.4 and pre breakfast was 6.7. Avoided high protein bread - will stick to one slice now.
B/L slice ham with pomegranate molasses. Tbsp prawn, fresh anchovies, boiled egg, lettuce, tomatoes and bacon bits. Tassimo morning coffee with cream.
D. Beef strips with peppers, onions and paprika and Oomi Noodles.
Think I'll have a prosecco been a busy day.
Swimming this morning, back to ours to drop off swimming stuff, out again to school fete, took son shopping after fete. Picked up No 1 from ours (didn't want to go shopping and he had Papa building lego), dropped them at home then went off for my own shopping and it's all away now. Now I have dinner to make then I can relax until tomorrow when I have a bit of cooking to do.
 
B - nothing
L - nothing
Teatime - made what was supposed to be a batch of low carb granola bars using a recipe from diet doctor but it didnt quite go to plan - the 'dough ' was sticky enough but once it was baked nothing held together so it ended up like a granola ish mix. Still a couple of spoons of that with a dollop of extra thick double cream was more than acceptable!
D - finished off the avocado pie with some watercress and rocket salad
Drinks - the usual
 
Hello
B. Raspberries and cream

L. Bacon, egg, sausage.

D. Vegetable curry with a chapatti. Strawberries and cream
 
Breakfast: Lidl protein roll bacon sandwich

Lunch: No idea - at my MIL's house for lunch

Prosecco
 
Bed on 6.6 FBG 5.1 and pre breakfast 7. Busy cooking day. I've already got chicken and veg cooking to make mushroom soup. Got a good selection of mushrooms yesterday. You food reminded me @Chook that I meant to get more Lidl High Protein rolls yesterday. Hubby is busy putting a large collection of mushrooms through the food processor ready for the soup. I prefer to get them chopped raw rather than blend as I like the texture.
B/L slice of M&S roast ham with pomegranate molassess, last spoonful of the prawns, lettuce, 4 Santini tomatoes, boiled egg, tbsp cheese coleslaw and Helmanns. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream.
D. Usual campari and soda and a wee prosecco.
Home made cream of mushroom soup
Fat Head Chicken pot pie with spinach, green beans and sprouting cauliflower and that best ever cheesy cauliflower mash

Todays menu has been
B- 2 scrambled eggs with butter, 1/2 of a Josephs low carb wrap
L- 100g tenderstem broccoli with 25g goats cheese and a tablespoon of chilli flavour munchy seeds
D - I plan to make a mushroom and cream cheese sauce affair and have that with some oomi noodles and some watercress

Leftovers day - bed 6.7 FBG 7 and pre breakfast was 7.2. Sitting a wee bit higher than the last few days but it has been dropping gradually since breakfast.
B. 3 rashers streaky crispy bacon, fried egg, Portobello mushroom, 3 cherry tomatoes and Tassimo morning coffee with cream.
L. Bowl of yesterday's mushroom soup.
D. The last pot pie from yesterday. The topping isn't like pastry but it is still tasty and the filling.....that filling is totally delicious. Will certainly make them again. Will have the remains of yesterday's veg and cauliflower mash.

Mushroom soup is one of the better ones too and I still have about 6 portions left. It may not make it to the freezer
