Another one here with a history of horrific lady problems (now non-existent cycle due to the progesterone pills). Interesting that there are so many of us...maybe when one hormone is out of whack, such as insulin, they all go out of whack. Dunno. Hope we haven't put Spiker off his dinner!

Talking of which, mine needs eating. Laters x

It is scorchio here today! Too hot to be eating a cooked veg and two veg dinner, so I had a plate of nibbles for dinner.

Breakfast: cheesy omelette

Lunch: Greek yogurt and raspberries. Creamy decaf.

Dinner: garlic mushrooms, feta and sun dried tomato crostini, cashews (not very lc), cherry toms and olives

Mine have been out of whack since day 1 sadly!
I'm sure Spiker will manage his 94 sausages and a tonne of coleslaw still ;-)

breakfast up very late so waited and had brunch of quorn sausages, bacon, mushrooms, poached egg
late afternoon slice ham, mini cheddar cheese, strawbs, sprinkle flaxseed, creme fraiche
supper chicken and chorizo, green beans, broccoli ( going to be on menu a bit as I mus have had a chorizo buying frenzy looking in fridge)

yes, way too hot for a stew but I'd made it so ate it. Hoping it cools down before bed or I might as well just put three nighties in wash now.

Aww hugs to you, my mum was the same age as you when she started her periods but she didn't have much trouble with them. I think the women's troubles in our family skipped a generation because I've inherited them all! I've always had longer periods than average (about 14 days) and I've tried various different pills in an effort to sort them out. At the moment I have the contraceptive implant but that's not working as well as I'd hoped - for the first 6 months after I had it inserted I had a permanent period! Luckily it settled down a bit after that but I still have the hot flushes and the hay fever from hell to contend with My stress is about to go through the roof as well, my son graduates from college next week and he is autistic so holidays are a big flash point for him. All he wants to do is sit on the computer all day. He used to be agoraphobic and is only just starting to go out independently but he is also starting a new college in September so we have all the transition worries as well. Good job my BG has settled down - just a few months ago it was 8.6 now it's between 5.5 and 6. Now I know how to compensate for any bad days.

Have you ever tried acupuncture for your periods? I used to have excrutiating periods my whole life but after two sessions I've been pain free. It's amazing!

Is that base solid enough to pick up and eat with fingers, like a normal pizza?

I ask because I made a cauli flour pizza base at the weekend, and was bitterly disappointed in the texture - no different from mashed cauli. Had to spoon it up with a fork... I wanted that droopy-dough-catch-the-sliding-cheese experience.

So I'm still looking...

Honestly I haven't tried this, I rather skip the base and make a meatza with minced meat base and then lovely filling and top with multitudes of cheese.
Try this one
Pizza Base
4 eggs
100 ml ground almond
100 ml coconut flour
4 teaspoons psyllium husk (fibre husk)
oregano

Toppings
Fresh mozarella
Red peppers
Tomato paste
Grated cheese
Salt, pepper, oregano
Mix all the ingredients of the pizza base together. Put the mix on an oven tray and make a nice and even thin base.

Let the base cook in the oven for around 7 minutes at 200 C. Take it out of the oven and spread the tomato paste evenly over it. Add the toppings and the grated cheese on top together with salt, pepper and oregano. Bake in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes.

Blimey, I thought I'd had a bad day! I saw a 9 for the first time in a while - 9.7 in fact, and am disgusted with myself.

Weirdy, did you keep testing after the pizza? It takes me about 3-4 hours to reach my pizza peak - although it isn't a sharp one, more of a Snowdon than a Matterhorn.

Weird Science · Jun 18, 2014

I bloody hope it won't peak in 3-4 hrs, although I've just done 100 sit ups and 10 press ups hoping that will burn some, and I eat far too late, usually 8-8:30, just don't feel hungry till late.

Will test again in 30 mins for the post 3 hour, and fingers crossed

I also had a very bad evening yesterday! Was good all day with allbran for brekkie and omelette for lunch......then went out and drank lots of cider (which I haven't touched since diagnosis!) A jager bomb ( can't quite believe I did that! How much sugar is in energy drinks, I probably don't want to know) and finished off with a chinese! Gonna try and be really really good today
