What did I eat yesterday.
Too much!!

A walk and a normal menu for today.
 
Much as I'd like to contribute to this thread I really can't bring myself to list it all. Mainly various items of the chocolate variety and a turkey dinner! 😱

Same here, Lindarose! Quite why I thought it necessary to open that box of chocs after two helpings of Xmas pud....

Confession is good for the soul. 😉

Christmas Day and I enjoyed the food, it was marvellous, but I was a tad frightened the whole time I was eating it! No point to that is there? I don't think I'll go off the Atkins once I've got this holiday over. I can't be doing with being worried and scared every time I put something in my mouth.

Menu for Sunday 251216
BG 6.0 on getting up @ 7.25 - Bottle water with fibre / a buttery Ryvita, who else craves Ryvitas? I'm crazy.
Breakfast: Whisky Marmalade on very buttery toasts (2) - Bottle Aspirin water, meds and vits.

A large Gordon's with Slimline Tonic.

Dinner: Roast Turkey and all the trimmings with apple sauce not cranberry coz I read it contained ginormous amounts of carbs...glass of Prosecco.

Straight after we had a slice of Aldi chocolate log cake, never had anything so sweet and sickly in my life. Gorgeous but a no no... :( My sister and I encourage each other in being stupid, she's on Metformin.

A half hour later we had M&S luxury Christmas Pudding with brandy butter and single cream...first time I've had brandy butter, so sweet!

Before bed a glass of Andrews which made me feel worse!

Bottle of water and a Levothyroxine. Too scared to do any measuring.

I'm afraid to say apple sauce isn't much better with nearly 5g carbs per spoonful x
 
B Irish Coffee
L Mushroom omelet
S More Irish coffee
D Prime rib, roast Brussels & carrots, steamed leeks with butter

Darn it, forgot to roast the shallots....

Because it seemed a good idea at the time, and I am not sure things count on Christmas Day. Although we do still need to bolus for it all it is one day off from being quite so sensible.
 
This is a great thread. Have been reading it for over an hour!!!! Need to get on track as I have been very naughty over the past 2 days. Thank you to everyone who posts on this thread as it really helps me, as a newbie.
 
Was at my MIL's yesterday for boxing day.
B - porridge
L - Turkey with allthe trimmings
Pudding - homemade trifle. Boxing day tradition of guess the booze in the trifle, this year it was Malibu soaked sponge and cherries in brandy.
Tea time - bubble and squeak with cold meat.
 
My Boxing day was similar to Christmas day. Leftovers.
B: Coffee (still stuffed from Christmas dinner)
L: Cheese & crackers (spelt crackers, only 2.3g carb each, had 5)
D: Heated up roast beef rib, huge Yorkshire, a few little roast pots, turnip, peas, greens & gravy
Pudding was low carb Yule Log & double cream (supposedly 4.3g carb per portion, but think mine was a bit bigger than that)
I was 4.6 before dinner, & 6.4 2hrs after. Quite pleased with that.🙂
 
Having been out and about for three days, we were at home yesterday. After a walk with faulty cannula, the correction brought me back on target and our own roast turkey meal had me stay in range throughout and a flat line overnight. The benefits of a pair of scales and KNOWING the carbs.

I know we have a few more days of chaos still to come. I shall enjoy myself and then sort things out later.
We are at my brothers on New Year's Eve and he is really good at reporting carbs for me, so I might not go too far off the rails.
 
B - Steak & Fried Egg (leftover Prime Rib)
L - Irish Coffee
D - BBQ chicken with roasted asparagus & mushrooms

Elaborating a little, this was one of my wife's boxed meals (which I ended up having to cook), carbs would have ended up being 30g most of which would have been in the BBQ sauce (Apple Juice & honey) so I just modified the sauce a little
Minced Shallots fried in Olive oil
Chicken Base paste
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Small can (cocktail size) Tomato Juice
Cook all together until reduced to a thick consistency

Like the sound of that sauce, @Martin Canty . Must try that myself.
 
Today's Menu
B - 2 toasted waffles and butter, 1 milk tray sweet
10 - cup of coffee
D - few cheese and onion rolls, some turkey, sausagemeat stuffing, few chipolatas, mayonnaise and a ferrero rocher
2:30 - roasted hazelnut coffee, 6 squares 85% chocolate
T - 3 pork & leek sausages, 2 yorkshire puddings, petits pois, gravy then an elizabeth shaw salted caramel crisp
now - smooth caramel coffee
(excuse my chocolate munching but i have a lot to get through and all of it was factored in) x
 
We have some chocolate coated stollen. I ate a bit thinking I was being really naughty, but surprisingly was only 15g carb.🙂 I think this year I have been accidentally sensible.🙂
