Aww @Rachox you did it, a real life avatar, not dissimilar to your old avatar just lighter hair, nice to see you
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: chicken Caesar salad followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: Nero’s with hubby, cappuccino and raspberry phd bar.
Dinner: salmon steak with creamy peppercorn sauce, mixed veg and carrot and swede mash followed by raspberry chia pudding, chopped strawberries and a spoonful of LC chocolate granola.
 
Hi All,

11am Goatsmilk yog
2pm a lo-dough sarnie with corned beef, cheddar and Branston. Delicious!
6pm 2 Tescos Finest 100% beefburgers with a piece os sundried tomato cut into fragments as a garnish.

Oh yes, 150ml cup of LC hot choc at 7am. Perfect start to the day.
 
Breakfast - more of a brunch as I wasn't at ALL hungry first thing - wholemeal toast, butter and strawberry chia seed jam

Lunch - warm chicken salad

Dinner - very lazy meal of microwave butternut squash spaghetti, arrabbiata sauce and cheese. Tasty and minimal time in the kitchen as ours is the hottest room in the house


Chocolate Halo Top and thick double cream. Lovely!
 
@Goonergal, @ianpspurs and @Rachrox hope you are all improving. Bed 5.4 FBG 4.8 and today was foot measuring day so myself and 2 Grandsons ventured into the hell that is Clark's 1 week before school starts. To be fair I always make an appointment so I don't have to wait with the swarming hoards. It was quite entertaining watching No 1 instruct No 2 on what happens. Plimsols are easy, they chose their school shoes quite quickly and they are always allowed to pick new trainers too which were also dealt with quickly. They were incredibly well behaved so the morning was quite enjoyable.
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Very late lo dough wrap with pate pate, lettuce , tomato and a smear of Helmanns.
D. Slice each of roast pork, ox tongue, turkey and these Dulano German sausage selection with lettuce and tomatoes.
Halo Top Birthday cake flavour with the last 6 raspberries.
Early rise tomorrow boys are off to Holiday Club again. No 2 earned his first £1 as I mentioned and has come to the conclusion being good is a lot nicer than naughty. A good day I'd say.
 
Hello peeps,

7.5 at 11am
Another mile walking, more water

Bought 3 Burger King hamburgers, ate just the meat and pickles, I’m sure the bag with the 3 buns in it still weighed the same after eating the meat!
Train home, 2 mile walk

Compared to many in here my menu is sooo boring. B. Usual bacon,eggs,mushrooms and green tea.L.(90% choc with green tea. Yes i know but still feeling evil.D. Have yet to have it but it will be 2 rissoles with green vegies. Actually i have been fighting a headache all day so might even skip the tea. Perhaps it was the choc.

@Moggely Hug for the headache in this post. Like for sharing menu as a rating. Menus are highly personal and influenced by our past and our circumstances. This is a thread to share and maybe get ideas but certainly not a dietitians convention.

7.9 wake up BG at 7.30 Sub 8 is very good for me. Just scoffing sausage, egg, bacon and mushrooms and have a bowl of cream and a couple of chopped strawberries at the ready. Next job in half an hour will be a walk to burn off the naughty strawberry glucose ..... I hope
 
Hope good day had by all - I found it hotter than predicted and my mum struggled a bit with walking in heat - swimming yesterday was better!
Breakfast bacon, egg and mushrooms
Lunch picnic - seed crackers and pate and hummus with some celery followedby small slice of lc lemon drizzle cake
Mid afternoon to cool down on our return home - small oppo ice cream with some cream
Dinner pork ribs on bed of cabbage followed by sf jelly and yoghurt
Tomorrow my second family birthday celebration planned if eldest coping better.....
 
B: Flaxseed and quark
L: cucumber, pepper & Cheese
D: mushroom omelette, few berries

lots of black coffee and a 45 min walk
 
Today may be the last of the really hot days but still no rain forecast here. I am still hobbling and taking plenty of Naproxen but I can move about without a walking stick - just very slowly. Lots of water today, which is a mark of how much I want this to clear up - I don't like drinking water. Menu:
Breakfast 3 pints tea with h/m almond milk; Hartley’s 10 cal jelly and 2 dessert spoons Fage 5%;
Mid morning snack: 2 pints tea
Lunch: Lo dough egg mayo wrap; small bowl of salad; 2 pints tea;
Afternoon snack: 4 pints water
Evening meal: Corned beef salad; 3 pints water
 
I let myself get too peckish today, and ended up inhaling a lunch of corned beef cheesy eggy thing. Delicious. Wish i had remembered to chop a chive leaf over it. They put chive on top of my omelette on Sunday. Awesome.

Then Ogri’La Chicken Fingers (WoW again). Bit disappointing, but very filling (chicken fillets in breaded style LC coating). I ended up putting huge amounts of spices in the coating, but it came out v bland. Mind you, they were cooked just right.
Will try again in a week or so. Can’t stand a culinary failure!

Hope everyone is ok?
I’m looking forward to it being a smidge cooler here tomorrow. Very exciting!!!
 
Good to read you are on the mend, albeit slowly.
