I'm going to explode. It was a gloomy, grey day in Scarborough and we won't be going there out of season again but today has shown me that my husband understands my way of eating and will go out of his way to support it. So, today:
Breakfast: Proper kippers with poached eggs and a Lidl Protein Roll
Exercise: Racing up and down the beach with dogs and throwing balls in to the sea for them.
Lunch: Costa Massimo decaff Americano with pouring cream
Exercise: 90 minutes walking around Scarborough - and some of their little cobbled alleyways and lanes are almost vertical.
Snack: Polystyrene tray of prawns at the sea front
Dinner: (This where my husband proved himself) - we couldn't find anywhere suitable for me, so rather than ask me to compromise (which I would have), he said he would prefer to go to Morrison's and buy a couple of their extra thick ribeye steaks. I had my 320g(!) Ribeye with a sprinkle of gorgonzola and asparagus and mangetout stir fried in garlic butter.
Plus loads of Prosecco and a couple of those Brandy truffles I made a couple of days ago. We've also got some Morrison's chicken and chorizo skewers for supper - if I ever feel like eating again.
Total for the day was 34g carbs and probably more than 3,000 calories BUT 2 hrs after eating dinner and my BG is only 4.8
Sorry to go on - bit tiddly
