Dinner: Mixed fish - red snapper, barramundi and ..... cod..... all fried in butter with purple sprouting broccoli and managetout from my garden

Breakfast: Lidl protein roll bacon sandwich

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

Dinner: Depends on lunch - could be a carvery on the way home from MIL or it could be deli meats, cheeses, taramasalata and salad at home.

Prosecco

My poor Mother in Law can't get her head around what low carbing is all about. She did a lovely salad for lunch yesterday but brought out a huge bowl of Jersey Royal new potatoes (because she remembered I said a while back that I love them) then said I know you can't eat potatoes - but I haven't put any margarine on them so they are okay - aren't they? I had one little one and Mr Chook had a couple but there was still a mountain of them left .... so she said 'I won't eat them so I'll but them in a bag for you to take home.' Lovely woman :)
 
Hello
B. Raspberries and cream
Gardening all morning

L. Corned beef, walnuts and olives.
1 hours swimming.
I succumbed! My weakness was a three cheese bloomer which my partner bought. I haven't eaten bread since last October and I succumbed to two slices!!!

D. Irish stew made with swede instead of potato. Strawberries with Alpro chocolate hazelnut ice cream which I am trying for the first time.

Reminds me of my MIL when We went for dinner. You could tell her that's plenty thank you and she would ask 'do you have enough ?' While continuing to pile food on your plate
 
Breakfast: Toasted and buttered Lidl protein roll with two eggs fried in butter

Lunch: (unplanned - made by Mr C ). Mozzarella pearls, olives, avocado, 3 cherry tomatoes, home grown lettuce, seed sprouts, cucumber and Greek olive oil, about a one inch cube of gorgonzola followed by 4 strawberries

Dinner: Not much - probably just some M&S chicken wings

Two squares of Lindt 90%
 
It's a chilly damp day and it is causing me quite a lot of muscular pain to the extent I have had to take painkillers. Bed was 6.6 and FBG was also 6.6 pre breakfast 7. I've also had a couple of peaks of 8.8 and 8.4 but it returned to normal levels pretty quickly.
B. Slice Tesco high protein bread with a slice of roast ham and cheese coleslaw. Tassimo morning coffee with cream.
L. Yet another plate of that mushroom room. Still super yummy.
D. Rib eye steak, spinach, Portobello mushroom, 4 cherry tomatoes and a fried egg.

Lindt 90% since It's my 42 wedding anniversary today (child bride ). To be fair Hubby did ask if I wanted to go out but it is so cold and miserable I wanted to stay put.
 
Hello
5am: Tea
B: strawberries & Greek yogurt, mushroom omelette
L: 1 slice Tesco high protein bread with roast chicken, 1 scotch egg, Activia vanilla zero yogurt
T: Pork steak, 2 jersey royals, roast Mediterranean veg

@maglil55 Happy Anniversary for yesterday.

Monsoon weather here today - and I don't mean the high street clothes shop! At least I won't have to water the garden today.... or tomorrow.... and probably the day after that. Yes, its hammering down THAT hard. :(

Breakfast: Two boiled eggs, buttered Lidl roll cut in to soldiers, black coffee

Lunch: Small avocado, olives and mozzarella pearls and the last of the sprouted seeds I've been growing on my kitchen window sill

Dinner: Lamb chops - if it stops raining long enough I will be getting some chard and mangetout in from the garden - and the first of the courgettes which is small but edible (just). If it doesn't stop raining then probably some frozen veg.
 
B. 2 slices Hi-Lo toast with mackerel pate and cucumber
L. Roast broccoli tortilla, 2 small new potatoes, salad of leaves and tomatoes.
Snack. Mixed nuts, far too many! Cherries
D. Homemade feta, courgette and mint fritters, using gram flour and fresh vegetables from the garden with green salad leaves.
Drinks, black tea and coffee, diet lemonade with slices of lemon - very refreshing in hot spell!
 
Dry here today. Bed 5.3 FBG 6.5 and pre breakfast was 7.5. Haven't been above 7.5 today so whatever caused the 2 peaks seems to have gone again.
B. 2 thin Slices rare roast beef with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, boiled egg and helmanns. Tassimo morning coffee with cream.
L. Yes it's another bowl of the homemade mushroom soup. The last litre is off to the freezer.
D. Probably a salad with Turkey breast. That soup is rather filling.

We had that very heavy rain yesterday @Chook but it has settled today.

Is that the DD mushroom soup, Maglil?
 
Bed 5.2 and was still dropping. FBG 6.7 and pre breakfast was 7.2. Feeling a bit better not so achy despite the wet weather.

D. Probably salad again as I have cold meat needing used.
And there is no let up with this rain !
 
Quiet here, isn't it?? Where is everybody????

Breakfast: Eggs, bacon, chipolatas, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes
