Hi everyone,

@Goonergal -- So good to hear that you and @Debandez enjoyed your time together. I have to admit you are two very good looking women.

Today was a bit frustrating for me. Haven't been really feeling up to snuff, a bit of a cold coming on, my gums are also hurting. Hope after some decent sleep, I will feel a lot better. Unfortunately blood sugars were a bit higher today too, hardly dropped below 5.6 and as high as 6.6 (something I don't normally see a whole lot of) -- I know not really surprising given the way I feel, but still frustrating.

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.

Lunch: One wiener sausage. Chicken cubes fried in a pan with homemade sate sauce (about 6g of carbs per 100g) plus the fried chicken skin (in my opinion the best part of the chicken).

Dinner: Homemade soup with coconut milk, red curry paste, beef stock, oxtail, little beef dumplings, bellpepper, celery, mushrooms, fennel, pumpkin and onions. About two tablespoons of Oppo vanilla ice cream with sesame brittle. Two glasses of red wine, which eventually caused my blood sugar levels to drop below 5.6.

Hope y'all enjoy a wonderful weekend.

Hi all

@Goonergal that’s a great photo, you and @Debandez look v slim and athletic. Well done on just buying the one cardi.
@ziggy_w hope it doesn’t develop into anything too horrible, wise move having a couple of glasses of wine to fend off impending cold.
@ianpspurs I hope you’re fast asleep by now and feel a bit more rested tomorrow
@jayney27 roasted sprouts are my new favourite veg. Couldn’t have imagined it a couple of years ago. Have you tried a sprinkling of grated parmesan on top before roasting?

To get back on topic-
B: A scrambled egg with quite a lot of fried mushrooms. Coffee and cream
L: Potted Crab and brown shrimp thing from Waitrose with 4 low carb seedy crackers. Side salad of leaves, walnuts chia seeds and olive oil dressing. CCB afterwards. Coffee and cream
D: Leftover portion of chicken korma ( lowcarbmaven.com) with roast broccoli and a DD naan. Another CCB to follow.

Been plodding along, even though I have been unable to get online for a while.

Realising missing breakfast has been extending the high fasting numbers I have abandoned for now the shorter eating window and having almond milk coffee in the morning. It seems to be helping, and I am seeing 5s and 6s throughout the day on my BG meter. There is still the annoying 8s fasting, though. I am averaging
Today:
B: almond milk coffee
L: babybel cheese and walnuts. (I was caught out unexpectedly unable to get home, and this was my emergency pack) drank lots of water, too.
D: Not hungry after eating low carb toasted muffin with peanut butter, mineral water.

Finding it very difficult to eat more.

Evening

B: goatsmilk yog with a good blob of crunchy peanut butter. Yum!
L: leftover chicken thigh rogan josh
D: baked salmon and a golfball sized new potato, with helmans

I’m looking for a nice, rapeseed and sunflower oil free mayo. Anyone know of one?
