I write down EVERYTHING I eat, every day. Without my food diary, it's too easy to forget the odd extra (or worse, convince myself that it doesn't count). Started doing it after I only lost half a lb one week back in May.

Back history is diet-controlled Type 2 for 8 years, allowed diet to get out of control, gained weight, started Metformin 500gx2 in March, joined Slimming World in April and started cycling to work, have lost 3st 9lb and 2-3 dress sizes in 6 months. Asthma much better, BP now a little on the low side (from high), BG normal, probably need to talk to doc about reducing drugs (electrolytes a bit out of kilter).

Still need to lose 4st 3lb to squeak into the top end of 'healthy' BMI range, but not sure it's acheiveable because I've never in my whole life been that!
 
Breakfast: puffed wheat (16g) + muesli (23g) total carbs 25g, insulin 2 units

Lunch: two small pieces of cheddar, Graze box - hickory smoked nuts and seeds, 9 bar - total carbs 15g, insulin 1.5 units

Dinner: Tesco tapas - 3 Mozzarella sticks, 3 pieces falafel, half a tortilla - expected to eat 4 of each so expected total carbs 50g, insulin 5 units. Had a digestive biscuit before bed to make up for the ones I didn't eat. Still no kitchen.
 
Veg burger x2 scrambled eggs, toast 33g, 5.5u

Lunch: 2 small pieces of mature cheddar; Graze box: hickory smoked nuts and seeds; 9 bar 15g carbs, 1.5 u

Breakfast ? 2 mandarin oranges, 2 soft boiled eggs and slice of wholemeal toast (usually have a full cooked breakfast on a Saturday but was going out to lunch)

Mid ?morning ? apple and 2 finger Kat-Kat (tend to be more active at weekends and BG was 5.1)

Lunch ? Breast of chicken wrapped in parma ham and stuffed with mozzarella, served with a small portion of spaghetti, green beans and spinach. One small scoop ice cream for dessert. And a large glass of house red.

Dinner ? Ploughman?s with ham, cheese, slice of wholemeal and lots of salad. Bottle of wheat beer. Put on DVD and opened a second!

This morning?s BG 6.4 🙂
 
No breakfast - I have no set routine at weekends and I don't like having what I have all week so sometimes I just don't bother.

Lunch - pub lunch with husband, stepdaughter and step grandson: superfood salad, which was quite impressive: contained a nice variety of different veg such as green beans, edamames, something grated which wasn't orange enough to be carrot so I'm not sure what it was, and pomegranate seeds.

Dinner: finished off the mozzarella sticks I didn't eat on Thursday, weightwatcher's fromage frais

Weekend treat: Hotel chocolate chocolate almonds - yummmm
 
Not fully understanding the new ?pasty tax? rules that come in today I treated myself to a ?pasty on the run? yesterday. 🙂
