I feel a lot better today, a good nights sleep and an early walk have done the trick.
However, I know that my coffee intake will increase by a lot, and I may consume my
own bodyweight in ice cream. I will try to be good with other stuff. It is too hot to overeat
anyway and will only get hotter as we are heading south on Friday to Nice.

half a croissant {306 Cal / 26.2g Carbs}

Lunch (12pm): Salad d'Ecrevisses (crayfish) /

Possibly the nicest salad that I've ever had! near the Eiffel tower

Snack (2pm): Pistachio ice cream {124 Cal / 13.7g Carbs}
………………………………..3 mile walk

BG (7pm) 4.0 (post siesta so maybe a second FBG?)

Chablis (6oz) {330 Cal / 4.8g Carbs}
