Sunday
B medium latte
L lamb kofte with salad and mayo wrap 2 small plums
D The yesterdays leftover chicken meal with cauliflower rice , dessert a few berries and a spoonful of double cream
 
Well, I have not been so good the last few days, but here I am back turning up again like a bad penny... :D

B: Two slices of nimble with salmon paste and spices; 50g of dry roasted nuts; a packet of crisps and an apple. two hours late, still only a reading of 5.2, after a very low start of 3.7.
L: Five oatmeal crackers with mushroom pate and garlic pepper; another apple; little packet of onion rings.
T: Vegetable Madras followed by 35g of vegan chocolate, when I discovered my BG still only at 5.3 two hours later. I am perhaps testing too much, but it hasn't been above 5.3 all day, it is making me nervous...🙂

One black coffee and loads of water and a little diet iron bru. I also snacked on flavoured ice and about 12 small silverskin onions, I love them and they have never spiked me so far. I also love pickled beetroot, which is also OK for me. I also like Sauerkraut, but it is very, very salty. Perhaps I should pickle my own stuff more often, especially that Korean version I have read about.

@Ditto I agree, frying mushroom is the only way to have them, unless in a curry. I find the spray oil can be useful if you are worried about the calories. 🙂

Lob that oil in the pan then! Fat is not the evil they always claim it to be, unless you drink it by the pint I guess! The crispier the mushroom the better I say! :D
Crispy deep fried garlic mushrooms, are the best of all! :D

( Now I am dribbling slightly... 😳 )

I don't fancy steamed as they go a bit limp, but I steam all other veg. I think I'll carry on frying as my healthy friends always fry, I asked them. 🙂

I often have a three egg mushroom omelette and half dozen oven chips & broccoli, It's my fall back if I don't fancy cooking a meal. Spag bol is another fav too ~ just a small portion you understand!!! Neither of those elevate my bgls too much.

Still too ashamed to post a menu but have paid for stupidity with blurred eyes all day. :( I am going to be sensible from now on because I feel horrid with one thing and another. I'm a fool to myself.

One thing I admire you for Ditto is your downright honesty🙂
You recognise where you're erring and have tried to make adjustments to your diet. Some days are good (Claps hands) ~ other days suck!😡 You have a tenacious nature hun so pleeeeeze don't give up trying for the sake of your liver if nothing else. Please know you're not alone with you're struggles as we are all routing for you.
Take care.

I am afraid that applies to us all, one way or another Ditto. 🙂

The summer of 2017 I had a huge seizure, I felt unwell, sat down and then, woke up several hours later in the hospital feeling really bad! No warning otherwise, just very sudden and no awareness of anything happening, just like a light switch being turned off. It certainly made me consider my mortality a lot, it also made me make some life changes which have stuck. Which of course is a good thing, the blood tests they took, found I was diabetic, so with the help of feeling awful for weeks, I got the diabetes under control. A bit of a system shock though for sure, shows how fragile life really is.

Which brings another couple of sayings to mind, both of which are good imo.

1) “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, which is why we call it the present.”
2) " Live every day as if it is your last, because one day, it will be. "

:D

Maybe, but looking back at that post I judge: Pompous! :D ( sorry. )

B: Two slices of Nimble, with mushroom pate and a little smoked Haddock; 50g of dry roasted peanuts; a packet of crisps and an apple.
L: Five oat crackers with peanut butter and sweetener. ( Have to stop these I think, too many carbs... ) another little apple.
T: Vegetable Madras with Mock Duck in it! 35g of Vegan chocolate.

Loads of water and some diet Iron Bru and one black coffee. Four flavoured ices for snacks. 🙂
