10/10/18 A day of reductions!

Actually took my midnight Levemir just after coming back up after the previous night’s near hypo at 22:57 6 units Levemir before turning in!

09:11 BS 9.7. 18 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 1 slice veg roll, 2 sausages, 100g baked beans, 2 slices hot buttered toast & 1 cup twinings everyday with almond milk. 11:21 BS 8.8. 24 units Levemir & all other meds.

Hot bath followed by exercises.

12:30 BS 8.0. 6 units Novorapid, cautious reduction, Lunch:- tempura cod fillet, 1 bag steam veg & 150ml apple juice. 14:46 BS 7.7.

17:20 BS 7.5. Not much movement! 6 units Novorapid, cautious reduction, Dinner:- 2 ham sandwiches (extra slice of ham in each to use up the rest of the awful ham) & 2 cups tea (1 each twinings everyday & honey camomile in the pot) with almond milk. 19:29 BS 9.3.

Then was bored & went surfing on the internet to see if there are any English subtitled episodes yet of The Legend of Ruyi. To my surprise there were 69 episodes posted up out of the current 74 that’s already aired on Chinese tv. It’s still airing up to a total of 88 episodes filmed last year! The tv airing was actually delayed till August this year because the government put a quota on the annual hours of period costume dramas: not proud of the excesses etc. of past Emperors! I thought it would have been over by now! So, the translators, unpaid volunteer university students, MUST have been working overtime to get so many episodes done so fast! Binged watched the first 8 episodes.

In recent years Ancient Chinese period dramas have been extremely popular all over the world & been watched by lots of different language speaking people thanks to volunteers translating subtitles! All started with The Legend of Zhen Haun that even made it onto Netflix!

If you’re interested I’m watching the episodes, with English subtitles, on:-

viki.com

Finally went to bed after 02:00 this morning & woke with my lowest BS in a while!:D

Monday 15-10-18
8am breakfast: yoghurt, berries + few almonds to add protein and fat Cals 159, Carb 18g
1/2 pint milk for tea and coffee during day Cals 131, Carb 13g
11am (ish) coffee + oatcakes: pack of five, (went a bit mad there. Oops) Cals 219, Carb 33g
1.30 lunch: scotch broth soup, tinned. Small brown roll Cals 172, Carb 32g
7.30 dinner: veg stew with beef, cauliflower cheese, courgette, cabbage, one small potato estimated values Cals 195, Carb 24g

How come the biggest meal has so few calories and carbs? Can this be right? Estimated as home cooked food
day total far too low calories @ 836 - no wonder the weight is falling off me. and overdid the carbs @120g
Maybe its good that the health walk got forgotten today.

Now wondering if need for snack before bed, and if so what?

edited to add: snack slice of ham, small finger of cheese and, 3 brazil nuts, slept well, woke only once.

@SkinnyLiz. If you’re losing weight too fast or don’t need to lose weight, you need to increase your calories intake a snack before bed would help as would snacks during the day, perhaps some cheese , some nuts are lowish in carbs but the fat content should help too.
