Bit of a red letter day! Can't wait to try the chips
Bit of a red letter day! Can't wait to try the chipsGreat news! Halloumi chips back in Aldi, it’s a bit if a treck for me but definitely going to make the effort. I think the false moustache would be entirely forgivable.
Lucky you with a Hotel Chocolat coming to town
@Goonergal from a couple of things you have said, I am thinking that the Paleomedicina way of eating may interest you, too. Basically carnivore, no dairy, with an emphasis on ancestral-style meat choices. Once people have settled into it, they can gradually reintroduce some fruit (berries), veg and sometimes honey (!!!), but no sweeteners or grains, etc. Am thinking that this may be a way for me to gradually and tentatively reintroduce veg. In time. Guts permitting
Hello all,
Thanks for all the hugs and kind wishes. They definitely helped a lot.
A bit of a frustrating day again. Blood sugars were high even without food. They dropped when eating only to rise again about two and half hours after food.
So, I decided to put up a fight. No dinner and lots of exercise. Finally, blood sugars started moving downwards and are now sitting at 5.0. I am curious to see what happens tomorrow morning.
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.
Lunch: A small DD keto roll with mayonnaise, beef salami and gouda cheese. Two tablespoons of lupin-hummus.
Snack: Three squares of 85% chocolate.
Dinner: Nothing plus 65 minutes on the elliptical trainer burning 850 calories.

Take care @ziggy_w sorry to hear about your battles and your headache. Feels a bit like a lottery at times the bgs.Thanks for your thoughts and for your support, @Goonergal and @DJC3.
Last night, I did another 15 minutes of the elliptical trainer because blood sugars started rising again -- but all good. Went to bed on 4.7 and woke up to a 4.5. So doing a whole lot better, albeit woke up with a headache again -- but who cares as long as blood sugars are lower.
Could it be the fact that I didn't drink wine yesterday and the day before? Possibly, I might have overdone the wine in the last half year, which might led to a bit more fat in the liver, so will try to cut back to maybe once or twice a week.
Hope y'all have a great weekend and thanks again for being there.
Its so frustrating xx Are you sure you don't have a bug lurking under the surface? My BGs seem to give me advance warning of something approaching - even something mild.Thank you so much for your support, @shelley262. Diabetes can sometimes feel like a lonely battle, so I am so grateful for all of you on this forum.
You have to smile at some of these 'healthy' place now. I find myself thinking if I'd only known then what I know now. It's good though that we are getting more choices.Evening all
Bit of a frustrating day food wise for me. Had arranged to meet friends for lunch at a trendy cafe so skipped breakfast ( apart from coffee and cream)
L: lots of perceived ‘healthy food’ at the cafe ( wholegrains and sourdough opennsandwiches) which gave me a problem, I picked 3 of the salads, roast cauliflower with cumin, broccoli with soy sauce and ginger, and roast aubergine with greek yogurt and pomegranate. It was all delicious but a massive plateful so quite carby in the end. Post meal bg 6.8 sadly.
D: DD creamy broccoli and leek soup with a fat head dough bagel and cream cheese. Last CCB with a decaf coffee just now.
Why are they limited to 2 packs per customer?To carry on with the pork pie theme....just been to Aldi where a lady recommended their pork pies to me. She said 'they're a bit naughty but at 91 I'm eating what I like now'! And yes she looked fab.
Oh and they had some halloumi chips in!!!! (two packs per customer, one saved for sister unfortunately). Looking forward to trying those. Thought about going round again with a false nose and moustache to buy some more but felt this may fall into the weird behaviour category.
Might as well put on today's food diary whilst here
Breakfast - Hi-lo toast and butter
Lunch - Ham, rollitos, olives, chicken bits and salad, strawberries and cream
Forthcoming Dinner - Beef stroganoff with veg
Snacks - Two squares of 85% lindt so far. Two 100% Hotel Chocolat buttons (as recommended)
Joy of joy. Hotel Chocolat is opening in my home town next year!!!!

There seems to be some halloumi chip shortage in Yorkshire! They were in store when they came out and then nothing for months. There was even an article on the internet. The cashier said there were some in the 'back' to go out but they'd all be gone again by the end of the dayWhy are they limited to 2 packs per customer?

Bed 5.3 FBG 6.2. Got a bit used to cooked breakfasts while away so cooked one myself yesterday.
Later had a Keto creme brulee with the last of the M&S berry medley. Hubby refilled my blowtorch and I got the most fabulous burnt 'toffee' inulin top on the brulee. Still have 2 left!
I think this may be my first and only taste of them, I'll let you know what they're like. I'm sure they are disgustingNot just Yorkshire - Cornwall too and the one near me on the outskirts of London. Same notice saying 2 per person. I have never been able to get them so far but they must be good if they sell out so fast.
I first started looking out for them about 2 months ago after a recommendation from someone on a different thread here.
