What did you eat yesterday?

[NotWorriedAtAll]

Breakfast: Smoked bacon rashers and a cup of coffee - I was supposed to have an omelette with them but it smelled iffy when I'd cooked it so reluctantly it went into the food bin

Lunch or as I call it Lea because it was at 4 o'clock:
Roast pork with crackling and Brussels sprouts and cauliflower and broccoli and Green Jasmine tea to drink.
two hours after eating - 6.9 mmol/L

Evening: I made an egg custard using a pint of whole cream milk and powdered egg and nutmeg and vanilla and erythritol and was planning to make egg custard tart with a coconut flour pastry shell but it got too late and hot to be cooking.

So I used some of the cooled custard and mixed it with whipped double cream and made vanilla ice cream with my new ice cream maker and topped it with crushed salted peanuts and went halfsies with my husband.

evening blood sugar test - 7.3 mmol/L

Well, y'know if I'm not posting then I'm pigging! Stupid is my middle name. 🙂 I can't post when pigging, y'all would be shocked especially as I'm making myself ill on a daily basis, my liver's not going to hold out for much longer I'm sure ie today at 7 I had a chocolate SlimFast shake then I did a few hours hard slog gardening and came in when I felt my blood pressure was badly and my back was gone and just had to have 2 fried eggs (in lard!!!!) over 3 large thick white buttered toasts. See? Oh the shame, oh the stupidity, oh the heck with it!

You'd have been fine with the eggs in lard Ditto - you could have had six of them if you'd wanted - it's the bread that is the problem. I'd stop with the SlimFast if I was you - if you just had a good solid breakfast of fried stuff (no bread) you wouldn't have ended up wanting the bread later. xxx

I had left over roast pork and flatbreads made from almond flour and psyllium for brunch and then for evening meal home made chocolate and peanut ice cream made half from the egg custard I made the other day and half from whipped double cream.

We've run out of cheese so I'm probably going to have corned beef as a snack later with some olives.

Breakfast: greek yoghurt, blueberries, seeds, cinnamon
Lunch: 6 whole pork chipolatas (0.5g each) and grilled tomatoes; finncrisp with soft cheese and honey
Supper: Roast chicken, gravy, roasted celeriac, cabbage
Snack: Finn crisp with soft cheese and honey

Breakfast: eat natural granola and yogurt

Snack: peanuts

 

[NotWorriedAtAll]

Breakfast: crustless egg custard tarts and decaff coffee.

Lunch: it looked like a big pile of mud but it was my first attempt at chilli and tasted very nice.

Evening meal: I licked the spoons when making home made butter out of the 3 pots of cream delivered on Saturday with a use by date of tomorrow!!!

It is nice having cream delivered - it is not nice having enough cream delivered to last a week that only lasts three days.

Bad day today.

Started out okay - breakfast - very small amount of soda bread and plenty of butter.

Lunch - ham and cucumber and a tomato and grated mozarella cheese, a teaspoon of Branston pickle and two inches of brie, homemade celeriac salad.

Evening meal - this is where it all went south. Three small pieces of soda bread, a spring onion, more Branston, 2 slices of ham, butter and cheese and pickled onions. I took a metformin for the first time in many months.

thank you, doesn’t always seem under control but anything is an improvement on what I would eat before.
some Tesco’s sell the granola and have it down to £1.50 at times. Sainsbury’s and Waitrose also sell it at 2.99 a box. It’s really nice Hubby has just started eating it aswell

Lunch: one slice of pain kapnor toast, (for anyone wondering, its a seeded granary loaf, low GI and 15g carbs per slice) with pate, lettuce, half a large tomato and coleslaw. Water and tea.
Confession, very stressful and frustrating day, had glass of wine as well.
Dinner: savory mince with roasted celeariac topping, mixed veg from freezer, french beans likewise. water and wine, Am running out of fresh veg and dairy products. Trying to manage until masks arrive.
late night snack: chunk of cheese and then greek yoghurt with raspberries.
lemon tea at bedtime.

Breakfast: small avocado with mayonnaise - cup of decaff coffee

Lunch: Roasted cauliflower in garlic, sumac and lemon with celeriac mash made with extra thick cream.

Evening: Fresh strawberries (felt like such a huge treat to get these) and the last of the thick cream.

Used the sumac marinade and directions from this recipe (only two garlic cloves as they were big ones) and used fresh cauliflower florets instead of chicken. Used a lower temperature to cook and kept an eye on it and hoiked them out after about twenty minutes and turned them over for another five.

I marinaded the chicken overnight, but when I put the chicken on the lemon slices and cooked it in the oven the sauce was very overpowering with lemon for me.

sounds very tasty

I have had the sumac in my cupboard for ages and didn't know how to use it. Looked online for a recipe and came up with this one. Can see i will be buying more sumac very soon - it is yummy.

Breakfast: eat natural granola and yogurt
Lunch: wasn’t hungry
Dinner: 2 burgers with cheese, 2 pieces of livlife bread and salad

the day before was much the same apart from chicken instead of burgers, anxiety can really help take away your want of food!
