Friday - 8.1 @ 8.25am - Weight: 14stones 12.4pounds Tum: 51
Breakfast: Nescafe / pint water with fibre
Lunch: fried eggs 2, bacon, peppers, garlics, yellow onion, tomatoes / pint water with aspirin and meds
Dinner: pint water / sausages (too many), 2 fried eggs, bacon, tomato cooked by my brother nom nom nom / pint water

I refused the large bag of chocolate buttons and later threw to the birds the half a loaf left for me. Go me! Too much fried food but that's the last now, I shall microwave and steam or poach in future and ask brother to have salads for summer. Gotta have a plan!
 
B - super berry granola with semi skimmed milk and a mug of coffee
D - smoked Bavarian ham and pickle sandwich, bar moser roth orange mousse filled chocolate
mug of cafetiere coffee
T - half an Aldi's chilli smoked sausage, baby potatoes, roasted sprouts along with a couple of roasted sugar snaps and a blob of mayo, pint cherries & berries squash
mug of coffee
Before bed - 5 all butter shortbread fingers xx
 
B: Yoghurt. Berries. Coffee. Nuts.
D: We went to a 'Toby Carvery' and I had a starter of Mushrooms with cheese, which was pretty disgusting - the tasteless sauce was probably high in carbs and low in cheese and it had a bit of melted cheddar on the top. Carvery was meat, but I tried a small portion of Mac and Cheese (That was tasteless) and a small portion of roast potatoes along with a load of Cauliflower, Carrots and Green beans. In order to make this actually taste of anything I had to smother it with horse radish and mustard. I was quite surprised to see that post-meal BG hadn't moved at all - started in the high 4s and 2 hours later was 5.3... I'm taking this as a sign that I can manage small portions of things like potatoes and pasta without causing a spike. Despite the low quality of the food, I quite enjoyed it - probably the most normal meal I've had since I was diagnosed. (It was also cheap.)
T: Mushroom omelette with a salad of celery, cucumber and radishes.
