Spent the afternoon watching Rugby (For the first time) at the Wasps's arena, and got quite jealous watching people tucking into pizza and hot dogs. :-( I had a bag of Pork Puffs. Rugby was OK, just went for something to do, but doubt I'd go again. I'm just not into sport and found the game mainly tedium interspersed with the odd moments of excitement!
 
Saturday

Brunch - stem ginger oat cakes with a mini cheese stick
Dinner - A non-fry fry-up: m/w smoked bacon, oven cooked pork sausages, mushrooms sautéed in butter and a drop of oil, very small portion of low sugar spaghetti hoops and ditto the chopped tomatoes (wrong can - duh!), poached egg and a little HP sauce. Low-cal cherry bakewell jelly with chopped strawberries and some double cream - you don't realise how much jelly that pot holds until you put it in a breakfast bowl! It was blinking delicious too.
Afternoon Snack - small packet of Quavers
Drinks - the usual decaf caramel coffees one with cream, one with "light" whitener, tea and water.

My BG taken 2 hours after dinner was only 5.8 - but the coffee (5 carbs total) seemed to take it up to 7.5 just before midnight without eating anything, unless there was something slow releasing I guess..... ho hum

I don't know why you think cheese is not good, it has very few carbs and although it does have fat if you are reducing your carbohydrates that provides the body with energy along with protein and veggies. Those pre packaged individual portions are expensive and are usually the blandest of cheeses so buying nice strong cheese means you can have less if the fat content concerns you.
 
Thanks leadinglights I just thought cheese and am sure been told it’s fat and not healthy , but will take your advice about the strong cheese

Good grief, reading all this scrumptious food is making me hungrier than ever! :rofl:

Back to it after health scare this week...

I have to admit I wanted to send out for a takeaway Indian and if not for the bad weather I might have done and if I'd had some actual food in the house I'd have eaten it, I want to eat! :( What a saddo. I made my sister take home the rest of the Ryvitas, I can't be trusted around food.
