Hi all from a currently rainy and windy Yorkshire. Well funeral went as well as these things can he was relatively young well in my opinion as he was only one year older than me! His mum who is 86 and has terminal cancer was clearly lost but the service was very well done and comforting and good to see all the older generation together - in their 80s - my mum. Two aunts and an uncle all managed to have a good reminiscence together with my mum who’s 87 nearly 88 at the funeral lunch. Pleased could support my mum and other relatives. Went to drs too this pm and mum now on steroids as she’s not well but def bit improved this evening so it’s clearly her asthma from a cold rather than a chest infection. So hoping she’ll be well enough for pre operative assessment in morning at hospital.
Breakfast one slice bacon and egg
Lunch at funeral range of cheese ( other offerings people tucked into include pork pies, sausage rolls, bread and dripping, very bready sandwiches, scones and egg custards in pastry) pleased to find the cheese! Think I heard my polar opposite at the buffet she was complaining about the high fat content and that she’d need to take the fillings out of the sandwiches and pies and just eat the bread @nd pastry! She gave me quite a look when I just loaded my plate with piles of cheese and looked my thin body up and down suffice it to say she had a lot of middle!) you couldn’t make it up.
Dinner pork casserole with roasted butternut squash followed by LC lemon cake and cream.
Hope everyone had a good day.
On the subject of losing weight, mine fell off at an alarming rate initially. As we are both TOFI's it's hard to maintain any weight when cutting the carbs, however mine seems to have stabilised now. Still feel a bit too thin, but I began to eat a lot of cream and butter just to get the calories in. Eating lots of avocado and high percentage chocolate too! Doesn't seem to have any impact on my cholesterol as the 'good' level had improved after my last blood test.I have given up trying to control my BG because control means doing things that will give me a BG I expect.
I am having to settle for merely influencing it to be better than it might have been if I’d fed myself yummy food.
Sleep sorted for 1 night at least so I feel a happier little boy. Take it day by day.
Breakfast: - Lots of tea - initial burst of 2x1.5 pints Orange Pekoe @ 6.45-8.00 ish; Tassimo Americano grande with cream @8.25
Dockey : Tea: dog walk steps indicate 3 miles; Tea then 30 mins exercise bike
Lunch : Avocado and mackerel salad
Mid Afternoon: Tea watching the officials ensure ABs win
Evening meal: Lamb and mushroom curry with cauliflower rice - used lamb shank from yesterday 3 tsp Waitrose balti curry paste with a little leftover cooking stock from yesterday; water
Hi all
Complex day, mum not well enough for her pre op assessment as still wheezy from her asthma attack - although steroids working - so visit to hospital cut short. Meant got back earlier than planned as thought would be at hospital much of today. Sorted out mum at hers and then headed back down motorway later this afternoon- more wet driving! Will get another date eventually from hospital and try again!
Breakfast one slice bacon and egg
Lunch a few rollitos
Late dinner chicken curry, red wine and some choc with coffee.
Looking forward to my own bed again tonight and later slower morning tomorrow if I’m lucky!
Decided to start logging meals on this thread - no exciting recipe to share as of yet but hoping for some inspiration too
Breakfast - 1 tea, 1 coffee
Lunch - 4 pork & leek sausages (waiting for shopping to get delivered mid afternoon)
Dinner - salmon salad and will have a square of green & blacks mint dark chocolate later on
Your soup sounds delicious. Is it an actual recipe or did you just make it up with stuff you had to hand?
@Geoffno6 you’re doing a fantastic amount of exercise - you say the weight is still falling off, are you trying to lose weight?
I hadn’t heard that you’re not supposed to drink alcohol with metformin, but I’ve certainly found that I can’t drink as much since I’ve been doing lchf. Probably just as well.
