Belated Merry Christmas all, had this cough / chest infection **** since 22nd and only just feel human, book me a spot in spa please but I'm not sharing with David!!

@AV yes I have been upping my dose but to no avail, getting this year out the way and have a hard look at my diet and exercise (or lack off) and start again, still on the MT tho.

Happy New Year all, have a great night whatever you are doing and hope everyone has a fab 2015!!
 
B - half a gooseberry yoghurt and half a pumpkin 9bar
L - tomatoe and olive salad with a roast chicken breast and a teaspoon of olive oil
D - sausage, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes

No snacks as I need to stop eating unnecessarily lol even if it's low carb.
 
Interesting day as started off with a fasting of 5.8

B - 2 egg omelette & 1 toast (15g) followed by 40 min walk/run.
L - half a can of heinz soup & cold meat
Evening - Tassimo Costa Latte (4.8g)
Pre-dinner BS = 3.3
D - Home made vegetable patty x 3 (cauliflower, peas, carrot with some potato and corn flour) & Cheese
2 hour after Dinner BS = 5.0

Conscious to not snack between meals and resist anything after dinner.
 
I had a mixed day yesterday :bored: Seriously, World, when I am invited over and I say "Do you want me to bring anything to eat?" Please don't say no!! I am an easy guest as I am happy to cater for myself. So I obediently took no food and spent six hours yesterday nursing a bowl of blueberries and a glass of water surrounded by folk munching Pringles, chocolates etc. By the end of it, I could have chewed off my own paw. Ended up raiding my freezer when I got home for something quick and not making the best choice in the world.

Breakfast: buttery omelette
Lunch: cream of celery and celeriac soup
Snacks: blueberries
Evening munchies at home: a bowl pakoras and samosas from an Iceland Indian platter box with ketchup, Jack and coke
 
Yesterday:
B: 2 coffees with cream
L: Out for lunch. Starter: game terrine with micro leaves. Mains: Had the festive menu, Turkey, baked ham, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, stuffing, and two naughty roast pots :blush: Finished off with coffee. Amazed to find my bg was 7.8 two hours after!
Evening: berries yoghurt and cream, then I later finished of the little bit of cream left with blueberries.

Today: cream, yoghurt, blueberries and oats, two coffees with cream. Probably no lunch today. I've decided that once I'm back to work next week I'm going to omit oats as I want to reduce my carb intake to below 50 and it's also affecting my bg.
 
I just got a "one year trophy" :woot: Yes, one year ago today I joined this forum!

In one year I have gone from "What on Earth am I going to to eat?" :wideyed: To "What on Earth am I going to eat?" :hungry: That's because now I am spoiled for choice!

I took my own snacks to my SIL's do, As it happened there was cheese and an onion bajhia and a sausage ( though I think that had honey on it) - when I mentioned all the things I don't eat as she moaned about her weight( about 8 st too much) she said she had put out pepper sticks and celery for me.. So everyone else got a mound of various carby **** like homemade pizzas, fancy bruschetta and breads etc but thinking outside of the box came up with crudités!
 
Biscuits seem a total no-go on a low carb diet but have come across these which seem to fit the bill. Just had 4 with pate and half a can of soup for lunch.

Happy New Year, Everyone

Edited to add: forgot to mention the cheese footballs! Approx 40g carbs! How conveniently I managed to blank those out! Lol. I was, of course, just helping Mr B finish the last of them. :rolleyes:

Approx 80 carbs in total for the day - will feel cr*p all day tomorrow, so need to clamp down...

Quiche n salad, brie n a tiny wee amount of quince jelly.
Ended up having to give up with salad as it was tearing my throat apart trying to swallow it. But had to eat the quiche due to the fact I'd bolused for it. Cheese slid down nice though.
Ist day of trying to eat normal for 7 days now, and cheesed off that throat is still so sore despite the chloraseptic spray.

Tomorrow sausage n eggs n tomatoes hopefully...
 
Sausages, bacon and tomatoes
Some pork scratchings as I am still peckish lol, Happy New Year healthy eaters lol !
 
Happy New Year everyone! 2 days of me:

New Year's Eve:
Coffee with cream.
Brunch out - poached eggs, bacon, avocado, chorizo.
Some peanuts
Dinner out: chicken and prawns in a creamy white wine sauce (and inevitably a tiny bit of mash as it was all on top of the mash so hard to separate out), green beans, broccoli, bit of carrot.
Other stuff: Approx two-thirds of a bottle of champagne (well it IS NYE).
Cheese, teaspoon of homemade quince jelly, about 1/4 of an apple cut into slices with the cheese.

New Year's Day:
A couple of cups of coffee with a dash of milk.
B: barbecued eggs and bacon.
L: everyone else had fish and chips so I had my fish grilled, and the host made some home made coleslaw (cabbage, carrot, bit of apple, Mayo), and I also ate the insides of 3 dim sims (Melbourne "delicacy" - pork and cabbage dumpling so I ate the meat but not the pastry bit).
D: 3 large barbecued meatballs, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado,
Onions, mushrooms, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Snack: a few almonds and (fewer) cashews.
 
Breakfast bacon scrambled eggs
lunch tuna, bit of garlic and herb roule, salad and homemade redslaw
dinner in slow cooker( will pop in oven to crisp) roast pork, few carrots, broccoli, roast turnip and green beans or tbsp peas depending on what others insist on( it'll be peas then!!)
 
cold ethyl said:
Breakfast two eggs scrambled, light benecol drink
Lunch 25g pate, slice ham, 12g cheese, celery, pickled onion
Dinner soup with ham and cold chicken

Drinks green tea,earl grey, decaff coffee

Today was my first low cal day - aimed at 800 but was probably nearer 900 but did over 100'cals on exercise bike. Trying to have a couple of extra low cal days a week to see if it has any effect on my BS levels. May build up to more as weather warms up. I was really taken by the presentation given by Roy Taylor on diabetes reversal and would like to try and shift this last stone and a bit sooner rather than later to see what effect it might have- my lingering weight is all a tyre round my middle so it would be good to see it go from a health perspective.

Happy New Year everyone x

I thought I would try kicking off the year with an 800 cal day. When I used to 5:2 I found Mondays and Thursdays the best for "fasting". Today is Thursday, I think :confused:, so started today.

All day I have been on MFP and looking through my recipe folder and come to two conclusions:

1- I CBA counting everything! I do sums professionally so counting the calories in a wee tomato or a spring onion will make me mental. I need time off from counting. I reckon if I avoid cheese, nuts and cream on those two days and eat whatever is left, I should be in the ballpark. Will get my fats from eggs and oils instead on those days. What do you reckon?

2- I should plant rhubarb in my old potato patch. A bit off topic, but that's where Google took me today and it's a great idea :D

Rhubarbs is great- we had a big patch then it died so maybe I'll do same this year and replant some in corner of garden.

I don't think you need to count obsessively- I just roughed mine out- made soup and used the pictures in carbs and cals to estimate veg and then I know what mug holds of lentils( having already weighed this for carbs and written it down in my carbs and cals book) so I just worked cals out then divided by 6 portions. As you say, just miss the big hitters out those days and you won't be miles off.
 
I had rhubarb once in my mini-forest but the slugs mauled them. If I put them in the potato patch, they will be more confined and I can build a slug proof fortress :jimlad:

Ok, will proceed with my lower cal day plan. It worked with the carbs - I started out not counting anything, just omitting the main offenders. It could work with calories too. Think I have identified the big 3. If nothing else, it will be good for refocusing on my nosh.
 
I'm having second day tomorrow. Made some savoury mince ( never bought so small a portion before from butchers!) with celery, carrots, swede and onions etc. Will cook some cauli mash tomorrow with bit of butter and an 1oz cheese between us and then have savoy cabbage and some pickled red cabbage with it. Eggs and mushrooms for breakfast and a small salad for lunch should see me round 800 cals
