Well I got to 7pm last night and had a MAJOR sugar craving - fortunately I had bought some WW chocolate Jaffa cakes - just one of them was enough to hit the spot and only 2 propoints:D. I also only had one small glass of wine yesterday which is good for me. I discovered that combining sugar free Ribena with diet Sprite is just as good as drinking Kir Royale. BGS have also been excellent 5's during all the day yesterday and woke up to 7.8 this morning. My pump is really helping with my new way of eating:D

Brilliant! Well done - very creative with the drinks! 🙂
 
Thank you Northener🙂
 
I had the symptoms of a high BG last night ie going to the toilet three times and a really dry throat but was 4.8 when I went to bed and 4.8 when I woke up this morning so very strange. Not sure if it is because I'm not eating many carbs ie I only had 25 g yesterday - not doing low carb on purpose, it's just the food that I feel like eating. I also woke up with a very bloated tummy this morning and a headache. Very strange. The good thing is that I weigh 2lbs less than on Sunday.

Yesterday I had
Lunch: 3 slices antipasti meat, 1oz feta cheese, 15 olives, 3 sun dried tomatoes

Dinner: Chilli con carne with rice topped with grated cheese and sour cream
2 small glasses of wine

My BGs have been really good🙂
 
Mmmmh after stress of being ill earlietl (migraine??), eye appointment and then coming home to find that Susie had been ill I'm amazed to say I haven't eaten hardly anything today. I think all of the stress has taken away my appetite but I definitely think that I've earnt some wine🙂

Relax a little, you deserve it! I hope Susie is feeling better soon too 🙂
 
Thanks Northener. I'm now feeling rather full after cottage pie and a Cadburys chocolate trifle washed down with some ice cold wine.....and I've kept to my points allowance:D
 
Susie is also feeling better but OH came home from work feeling ill......and he is very rarely ill. It must be a virus
 
My diet is seriously being tested Susie has been unwell again and I'm absolutely starving so I just ate..............a sun dried tomato!!! Two hours to lunch and counting🙂

Stay strong! 🙂 I do hope this isn't related to Susie's recent problems?
 
Truth is Alan is that I don't know if it is related to Susie's other problems. Not nice to say but she has lost her bowel control in the house twice since 2pm yesterday - I was only out two hours yesterday when it happened and today I was upstairs and she'd only come back from her walk less than two hours before. My big fear is that the suspected brain tumour is affecting this so she doesn't know what to do. I am very upset but obviously very much hoping that it is something more simple and she will be ok in a day or two. I dare not take her to the vet. She also got me up twice in the night because she was restless and panting lots. I'm just glad that I'm at home with her.

Poor Susie, I do hope it is a temporary thing. {{{Susie}}}
 
Susie says thank you for the hugs. She is looking very sorry for herself. I've found the strength to keep to my eating plan.
 
So glad you are managing to keep to the plan you set yourself despite all the stress, illness and things going on 🙂 Give yourself a pat on the back for that one for sure!

Following your journey so you have support here 🙂
 
Shambles Thankyou for your lovely message. It's nice to know that you are following my journey🙂
 
Well it's 5.45 at night and all I've eaten is my very lovely lunch which was only 6 WW propoints:D. This means that I've got 27 points left for the evening:D. Planning to have plaice in breadcrumbs with petits pois and two small glasses of wine. Its weigh in tomorrow so if I want to use my spare points for the week it has to be tonight.....so I might have a Cadburys chocolate trifle:D. On another note I though that it would be difficult to count WW pro points AND carbs but it has been ok but that maybe because a) I count the pro points and Mark counts the carbs for me b) I don't eat breakfast and lunch has tended to be carb free🙂
 
I haven't been naughty because I stuck to my points......dinner was 1 1/2 pieces breaded plaice with tartare sauce and three tabblesppoons of petits pois🙂. I didn't have any dessert but I am on my fourth small glass of wine which is a bit naughty.

Other food today:
3 jelly babies for low BGs

Lunch:
15 olives in brine
3 small slices antipasti meat
1 oz feta cheese
Sun dried tomatoes

My tummy is currently very full:D. Weigh in tomorrow morning😱
 
Hope you are rewarded for all your efforts Amanda 🙂 Hope you have a nice, relaxing evening 🙂
 
Good luck with the weigh-in, don't forget to post in the Total 2013 thread.
 
Thank you Alan. I hope that you have a lovely evening as well🙂
