The only oily fish I have regularly is sardines or pilchards, usually on toast! The tomato sauce disguises the fishy taste and you don't have to worry about bones - plus, they're very cheap!🙂

sorry to tell you bev, but it gives me a spike! hopefully for alex it will be different. All cereal gives me a spike i think.

Bev... banana or peanut butter sandwich? thought about getting married to Northerner?? and TUT, you should always eat breakfast. I hope you stop feeling so anxious bev, your health is as important as Alex's you know, so you must eat properly 🙂

Jeeta, he was an indian boy, I made him scrabbled egg for breakfast once and he insisted on putting spice in that too :( haha. Oops I only like tinned tuna. I occasionally eat salmon but not much. My mum buys smoked mackeral sometimes and i dont think it tastes too fishy, because it mostly tastes of the smokeyness! so sticking that in a salad might be an idea.

Didn't Steve Cram use to advertise Start? How did you manage only 2 jaffa cakes? The local Co-op has them on BOGOF at the moment and I forced myself not to buy them because I can't eat less than a packet at a time!😱

I've had a very simple day today:

Breakfast: weetabix and OJ
Lunch: 2 slices Hovis 'seed sensations' toast, mango yoghurt
Tea: Beans on toast and ice cream and the last of the apricots!
 
breakfast: bowl of cornflakes
snack due to low: a couple of kit kat things cuz i had nothing else in the house
lunch: pasta salad
dinner: pork chop, mashed potato, brocoli and gravy
another low: banana and a glass of OJ
 
breakfast weetabix and banana
lunch was tuna and onion sandwitch with an apple after
tea was tuna bake
pudding was melon
 
Breakfast Branflakes
Lunch Salad & muller light yoghurt
Tea Sugarfree jam sarnie & a peach

Not felt hungry & kept my Bgs at 5.2- 5.4 really pleased with myself.

I know, I'd been training all morning, took a phone call quickly at the start of lunch and by the time I got back they'd eaten everything!

Ankle, better than it was thanks, still a bit sore but not really painful any more, fingers crossed....😎
