I found out my local supermarket sells more varieties of LC bread than the last time I looked, thanks to @JoKalsbeek posting about it on this forum. Funny how information on stuff in Dutch supermarkets can get back to me through a UK forum. :hilarious:
I've steered clear of the bread isle for years so I never noticed.
So my first meal was a slice of this bread with some type of fish mayo thing (bought), only some 5 gr of carbs a slice, very tasty!

Evening meal was the other half of Aldi's 'fish fillet a la bordelaise', sacrilegiously reheated in the microwave. Which didn't enhance the flavour or texture but quick and easy has its merits too. :)
I had it with a quick salad of two tomatoes, half an onion, cheap black olives, the last of the fresh basil and mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Evening all

Today:

B: Two poached eggs smothered with butter and avocado seasoned with black pepper plus a wedge of Gorwydd Caerphilly.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Wild Alaskan salmon fillets baked with calabrese (heading) broccoli, chestnut mushrooms, double cream and lemon verbena.
Steamed French beans and mangetout with a knob of butter.
Water to drink.
Skipped pud.

D Seafood salad using tiger prawns, brown shrimps, rocket, baby plum tomatoes, celery, Romano peppers, cucumber, Halkidiki olives, salad onions and flat-leaf parsley dressed with an olive oil, balsamic and garlic vinaigrette, topped with toasted pistachio nuts.
Water to wash down tablets.
 
Yesterday brunch small Greek yoghurt and a piece of goat cheese. Dinner: a few nuts (Brazils, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts) the biggest pork chop I've ever seen (husband buys them and the butcher likes him) cabbage and cauliflower. Some of the veg . will appear in today's lumpy soup, given that I prioritised eating the chop! Today's brunch will be that soup, dinner will be usual (but much enjoyed) nuts followed by roast chicken wings with - more cabbage and cauliflower for me and frozen mixed veg. of the sort I mustn't eat for Himself.

The good news is I have been chasing a pesky 2lb weight gain over several days, and it has now gone! I know that weight can and does fluctuate over a few pounds, but it rattles the chain from the days of calorie control, so it's good to see it GONE.

Very long and very enjoyable workday during which I had chicory and hummus (brought from home) and cheese (my skipper's) twice.

I had a plan for an evening meal with leek, cheese and shawarma meat, but after coming home at 7:15 pm, no motivation for cooking.

No problem, this new LC bread I discovered is really good so I had a slice and a half with fried pork, a fish mayo thing (bought), and very overripe (not for the faint hearted ripe) stinky Muenster cheese, with the leftovers of yesterdays salad. :hungry:

Will likely have some pork scratchings with aioli and a piece of 85% chocolate before bed.

Hi all,

Breakfast 11am
3 scrambled eggs
pork crackling

Intense day fighting with a polytunnel frame, ended up much later than I intended and slipped into a bit of a carb binge. Back to normal tomorrow! At least I swerved the takeaway that was calling my name, so that's something.
