Needed something to keep me safe during the night as I’d re visited the idiots club in the morning and gave myself a tad too much basal , note to self put ones reading glasses on in the mornings when injecting, so I had two beautifully burnt, drool, we’ll buttered slices of wholemeal toast, dripping they were (yum) and coffee with cream
Water and the odd dextrose tab throughout the day.
It can be helpful sometimes to know what sort of things people are eating, as it might give some ideas for a more varied diet. So, I'll start off with what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - 1 slice buttered Burgen toast (my breakfast every day, I don't like to run with too much in my stomach)
Lunch - two soft-boiled eggs, two slices of buttered Burgen toast soldiers 🙂 Activia yoghurt
Evening meal - home-made spaghetti bolognese and a bounty bar.
I also nibbled on chilli-dusted peanuts through the evening.
hi Northener, as you started this post am addressing my question to you - on this thread, where is the best/correct place to post?
Is it answer to your first post? reply to latest post? or reply to my own latest post?
B. My usual.
L. Not hungry
S coffee with cream and 2 gingernuts
D. Carrots, frozen mash, chicken breast, ketchup and a Coke Zero
Bedtime, coffee with yet more cream and 2 gingernuts
yesterday and day before, such muddled days:
yesterday, yoghurt and berries, then out supposedly for short trip. Around 1.30pm bought a 225g block of leerdammer cheese, ate half of it over the next hour. cup of tea to drink. nothing else until we got home about 5.15pm. had 4 falafels with chilli chipotle jam, while dinner was cooking. Instant shove-in-the-oven ready meal. It was foul, neither of us ate much of it. and today went to the shop and complained got my money back.
large glass of wine to boost calorie count, think it was around 730 by then. no wonder i am fading away.
supper 2 digestives with full fat cottage cheese.
edited to add: apart from XBX session early morming was no discernable exercise. Day spent mostly driving or sitting waiting in car - perhaps it was a good thing the calories were so low?
