That's good to know Nicola 🙂 I've been at 6s and 7s today although only one 7 and one 5, so not doing so bad.
Last couple of nights by BG has shot up to 9s and 10s before bed, I have been headachy from the barometric pressure so maybe that is why.

Hope you’re feeling better today Jodee. Levels look good overall, perhaps a bit high in the evening.

My levels are all over the shop and higher than that on average so yours look great 🙂 good job I’ve got my diabetic review tomorrow!

 

[Jodee]

Thanks Nicola, wishing you a good review tomorrow, sure hope your levels settle down soon, Maybe you need metformin (or more of)

Sick of the whole thing. Didn't do any measuring, weighing, taping or anything. Just cheesed off with my weight, my health and the diabetes. All the worry.

Just ate today, mostly carbs. Will get back to it tomorrow. No choice really have I. Must at least try. I ate a whole box of grapes! I don't do things by halves. Everything to excess always.

Hope you are feeling better today.

You can’t change yesterday but you can try again today. Feel better soon x

Thank you. I've got back on the wagon now, low carb is the only way to go. 🙂

Wishing you every success Ditto.

It is, it definitely has its challenges (especially if you love carbs like me!) but it’s doable.

Someone said to me once think about your week as a bunch of flowers, if one dies, you don’t throw the whole bunch out. Same goes for our days, if you have a bad day, take it out and start again tomorrow, don't throw the whole week away. It helps me if I have a bad day x

Breakfast: two teas, my homemade nut granolawith 40ml semiskimmed milk, 2x eggs scrambled with butter
biscuits with coffee: 2x langue de chat: 2x cantucci
lunch: salmon rillettes; half a seeded bread roll about 40g, coleslaw, salad; chunk of comte ( 40g) andtwo spoonfuls peanut butter to add protein. Really difficult to find protein without fat, unless it is meat, fish, or chicken, and even then can be some.
Dinner: 2x chicken thigh, potato, carrot, mangetout ( from our garden - fresh and delicious) cabbage cooked in butter and oil with shallots and garlic, seasoned with black pepper. glass of sauvignon. Have recently discovered have been overestimating calories for wine as my glass is 175ml not 250.
Coupe of chunks of plain chocolate in the evening as well

22-06-19
breakfast: 2x tea, nut granola, 2x boiled eggs with 30g sourdough toast and 5g butter
Lunch: coleslaw; salad, olives, roti porc 2 slices. half an avocado, half a seeded roll
Dinner: 2x chicken thigh; potato, carrot, cabbage, fried them all up together, peach and yoghurt for dessert. Bit disappointing, peach had started to go off, but wasn't ripe. Glass of wine
handful of walnuts in the evening

Wow! Well done @Ditto That really is turning things around. I would say you did an excellent job. Keep up the good work. You really can do this. It just needs a bit of thought and preparation.
I love belly pork and just bought some the other day. Will be having mine with cabbage and perhaps cauliflower cheese. Yum!

 

[Ditto]

Thank you. How are you making cauliflower cheese? When I told somebody I just melted actual Cheddar over a cauli they laughed!

 

[rebrascora]

I used to make it the usual way using flour and butter to make a cheese sauce but I think it was @Drummer suggested coating it in cream cheese and then sprinkling grated cheese over that.... this will be the first time I have tried that technique, so will let you know how it goes. Not cooking tonight though as I will be donning my Sunday best and heading out with my bestie and my sister to see Giovanni, Gorka and Aliaz(sp?) from "Strictly"

 

[Drummer]

I have suggested the method to several people, and later been told that they are never going to be making a white sauce ever again.
add a pinch of herbs if you like, mixed into the cream cheese, or paprika, or after a covering of ordinary cheese top it off with a bit of something stronger, for extra flavour.

 

[SkinnyLiz]

Coating cauliflower in grated cheddar and melting it is far lower carb than the traditional flour, butter and milk method. So if you like it like that - carry on. You can always quote me

23-06-19
Breakfast, yoghurt and berries, followed by toast and peanut butter. After some tinkering with quantities think this could be a regular meal. Would need to be 100g yoghurt, 50g berries, 30g toast 30g peanut butter. Ofc it wasn't exactly that this morning :shifty:.
Coffee and cake, had one coconut rock. 10g carbs.
lunch, chicken thigh, mixed salad (am bored with detailing the individual items), half a Lidl seeded roll ( 40g) cup of coffee.
after lunch. This is where it all goes wrong. Could not decide what to do. Grass needs topping, but thats a bit noisy and unsociable on a sunday afternoon. Plus its tiring. Did some deadheading, but with focus on vegetables was done in 15 mins. Some leeks need relocating, but unable to decide where to put them. Until leek question is settled cannot plant any more seeds. Tired from a day spent mostly digging yesterday. Plan was to continue today, but overnight Bl**dy moles made hills and tunnels in my new beds. Tired, bored and demotivated, downed most of a packet of chocolate digestives. Little while later MrS unknowing gave me tea and one coconut rock, helped myself to another before he intervened. Now its nearly dinner time, have nothing prepared and probably should not eat anyway.
Annoyed with myself. Have previously recognised that its unplanned/exhausted days am most likely to go off the rails, but that insight doesn't seem to prevent it happening.
Has anyone strategies for dealing with the munchies?
Really need some help here.
