mmm that tea sounds very nice
 
It's one of my favorites especially when you drizzle a small amount of chili and lime dressing over the top. 😛

Ooh, runner! That was a baaaadd day! Chocolate and kit-kat for breakfast? Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate? You don't need to worry too much about the fig rolls though - I was told by the dietician that they were 'acceptable' biscuits, practically one of your 5 a day - not sure she meant by the packetful though...!😱:D

Are you sure it's not by the packet? Feel headachy and grot today - serves me right. Might try and run it off later... Did cover it all with insulin, but that's not the point - trying to loose a bit of weight for wedding Saturday and eat healthy. Bloods were over 9 this am. :( Hey ho. Back on track today 🙂

I posted this to another thread yesterday:

There's an article in the July issue of Sainsbury's Magazine: 'Take Heart' and within it it says: Good news for egg lovers: "not only has the British Heart Foundation changed its advice about to have only 4 eggs a week, because indulging in more will not raise your blood cholesterol, but Canadian researchers have now discovered that proteins unique to eggs could help to improve blood flow and blood pressure....studies also show that a 2-egg breakfast is so filling that it helps us to eat 400 calories fewer over the rest of the day...."

Clever chickens eigh?

Hi Steff I know its the pot calling the kettle but you really shouldnt miss breakfast if you can help it , you really need at least 3 balanced meals a day at regular intervals to keep your sugar levels stable and avoid swinging high and low. Could you eat breakfast at work or maybe do a little lunch box type thing to eat during the morning ?
