Em came early. I cooked some bacon for her breakfast but she was so exhausted after last night's storm (her bedroom is in the roof space) that she fell asleep sitting at the table. So I put her into the big chair and used the bacon and had a sandwich with a single slice of Neil's magic wholemeal bread.
Later I will have a lamb leg steak (used to be called a gigot chop) with kale.
Em has been here all day and has only just gone home so I'm a bit down on fluids (too busy helping her find stuff on the internet for her school project), so I must make that up.
I recovered from the effects of the iron infusion, so all's well. Quite unpleasant though.

Very quick meal of broad beans (tinned) with bacon and a flattened (to make it cook quicker) burger with mayonnaise in a couple of leaves of endive.
Next week I'll be going out for dinner with a friend for the first time in what, two and a half years?! It'll also be maybe the third or fourth time in a year I'll have something I didn't cook myself! (Christmas, and 2 or 3 days of Chinese take-away, that's it I think.)
Exciting in an odd way.
It will be an all you can eat tapas thing, so plenty of low carb choices.
But I'm sure I'll want to try some of the higher carb tapas as well, and that's fine, it being a once in two years thing!
As a compromise to diabetes I requested to book an early timeslot (5:30) to give me enough time to get things stable again before bed, so I'll call it a win when everything will be back to normal by midnight, anything out of range before that doesn't count!
Looking forward to it!

D. DD chicken breast with garlic and parmesan. I also added some peppers and grated mozzarella and cut done on the cream. A little chicken stock too. Served with wilted spinach
Naughty - 2 M^S mint batons - no damage though.

Breakfast: 1 slice wholemeal toast with butter.
Tea, tea, tea, tea
Lunch: coffee with cream.
Later: Yesterday I cooked some cavolo nero kale, collard greens style and there's a fair amount of that left and a couple of bits of the lamb steak to put in with it. Realised that the difference between a gigot chop and a lamb steak is that the bone has been removed from the "steak", making it much more likely to fall apart. Tasted fine though.
BG went a bit high this morning (13.9) before breakfast but came down to a more normal level after taking my basal dose, bolus dose before toast and having some tea. Currently 5.4.

breakfast; low carb granola, a toasted slice of carbzone bread and butter
mocha
lunch; chicken on wholemeal roll with mayo and a packet of low carb crisps (bad, bad, bad me, blaming husband sitting there eating his white toast and rich tea diet)
dinner; omlette. raspberries, strawberries and cream. 90% lindt (somewhat better than lunch)
visit to morrisons this morning to stock up before isolation and husbands hospital visit. Wore mask for health reasons and so no one recognised me when buying white bread and rice
very exciting day, sister is popping in a new Simply Food M and S and she's going to see if they stock the elusive 'seedy crackers'.......if not I'm back to ordering the other!

Hi all. skipped bf. L sausages with mayo and 2 buttered Ryvitas. Dinner hm soup with last of the turkey and lots of veg. Am still hardly losing weight so wondering if I'm not eating enough fat? I feel so wrong eating fat! For as long as Ive been overweight it's been NO FAT. Now it's encouraged!

Phew got home but a bit trapped in in Bewdley today - Bridge closed due to major flooding, even to pedestrians,and road by us is/was only way into and out of the town has just developed a burst water main so although it’s above the town it’s also now flooded! They are starting work just now- so crossing fingers they will manage to repair overnight or we will continue to be be on an island! At least got home from our caring visit and our home isn’t flooded. I feel so for those in our town are so badly affected yet again 3rd year running!
Food today:
Lunch left over frittata with some marinated artichoke and pepper followed by a few berries and hm yoghurt
Dinner venison meatballs in hm passata and 10g lc pasta plus a glass of dry red wine followed by Lc cake warmed and served with spoon of hm yoghurt.
Now I’m back home again - I’m back to more hm yoghurt production, I’m trying out different live bacteria and also experimenting with different methods cold start v scalding and cooling the milk.hoping to try making own soft cheese this coming weekend.

I loved white bread toasted. Of course, now I know it was the amount of sugar in it that made it such good toast.

Looks good to me @kevsta and welcome to the thread!
@RosemaryJackson it looks to me like you might not be eating enough at all so it could be your body trying to hold on to what it has. Also weight loss can be slow - mine certainly was at the start - so as long as you’re hitting your blood glucose targets and feeling satiated I wouldn’t worry too much.
For my part it was a very hungry day.
Don’t usually have breakfast but realised too close to when I needed to leave for an appointment that I really was hungry. Picked up 2 hard boiled eggs in M&S.
Was ravenous by the time I left the appointment and was very glad of the lamb breast I’d left slow cooking in the Instant Pot. That would normally do me for the day, but found myself hungry - and tired - so ordered a beef gymbox from German Doner Kebab.
Will hopefully return to normal tomorrow.
