We got back home from Cyprus at 9am having travelled overnight. Plum tuckered out today.
Missed my sheep’s milk yoghurt for breakfast. I tried to recreate the mood by having feta and cherry tom omelette.
Lunch was crackers ( made by microwaving cheese slices on parchment for 90secs) topped with pate and a few cherry toms.
Dinner chicken cooked with a white wine and mushroom sauce. Cabbage noodles and broccoli. We Drank the rest of the wine, don’t think I’ve ever felt so tired.

Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.

Unsure whether to count the fried eggs at 7am as today or tomorrow as I did go back to sleep again for several hours :happy:

Since then, I've had 2/3 of a stupendous frittata containing all the veg that needed using up - chinese leaf, spring onions, red and green peppers, and some frikadellen (german meatballs) and gherkins.

Couldn't finish it so other third will do for later along with some salt and chilli chicken thigh and raspberry gourmet yogurt (naughty, but bought before diagnosis)

Usual 4 big mugs of tea with a splash of milk

Edit: postponing frittata/ chicken/ yogurt until morning to make it easier to take meds, having an extra cuppa instead. Hoping to be rewarded with nice BG numbers for all this restraint :cool:

Breakfast- 2 boiled eggs mashed with butter.
Lunch -not brilliant! last week of my ‘Wellness in Nature’ course which has been enjoyable but today everyone bought food to share for a picnic. I took strawberries not intending to have anything else but was tempted by a Higgidy spinach and cheese mini muffin (4g carbs) v nice, then had some carrot batons and hummus. BG was 9 when I got home. I should have known better!
Dinner leg of lamb roasted in the airfryer with airfried veg. Glass of Malbec.
