B: Yogurt and Berries
L: Subway Chicken Tikka Salad
D: Rotisserie Chicken with mushrooms stir fried in olive oil with white wine, soy sauce and garlic plus a pile of roasted broccoli and cauliflower.

Also had a cappuccino during the day, and was pleased to see absolutely no effect on BG. (I stopped drinking them since I was diagnosed, but fancied one, so did some testing to see the effect.)

Gum seems to be healing fine where the implant was put in on Saturday. A bit of swelling, and a bit of bleeding on Sunday afternoon, but nothing since.

Healing is usually quite quick.
I had 2 implants with a bridge 10 years ago and a couple of months ago the teeth just fell off the pegs, I imagined ££££ signs at the original cost was £6000 but no it was just glued back on no problem. It was done at Modus in Tile Hill.
We have a Dolce Gusto pod machine so our evening treat is usually a flat white or cafe au lait.
 
I had mine done at Face in Cheylesmore - all very high tech, with CT scanner on site to work out how far to drill into the jaw and loads of software to do 3D modelling of my jaw and existing teeth to make 3D models so the lab can fashion the false tooth properly. The implant dentist is excellent there. Next step is to get the teeth made up for the implants, which will hopefully be done in a few months. (First one was done about a month ago.)

It's not costing 6000, but wouldn't get much change from 6000. 🙂

Cautiously optimistic that the occasional cappuccino is back on the menu, but don't want to push it as my aim to get off the final 500mg of Metfarting. I'd quite like to not spend the day blowing off like a steam train!

My OH goes to Face, just round the corner from where we live. Sounds very high tech.

I'm in Earlsdon (Canley Gardens) so it's just a short drive away. We did a lot of walking around Cheylesmore during lockdown, usually swung through it after exploring London Road Cemetery.

Our lockdown walks were new cemetery, old cemetery, clockwise, anticlockwise. We back onto the new cemetery. It is amazing how much you learn about the history of the place. Walks then extended a bit further afield.
 
BTW Home Bargains sell a box of mixed flavours of Beanies coffees - about 10 or 12 sachets of flavours in the box, all different....so you can try before you buy a jar 🙂 Not sure if there is hot cross bun flavour, but there's a nice variety.

Sunday

L - Hovis crackers, cathedral city light mini, 1 Nairn stem ginger oat biscuit, caramel coffee
D - Roast lamb, few little roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese made with blue cheese, spring greens and leek, roasted carrots, mint jelly, yorkshire pudding and gravy. 2 watermelon fans. tea
Supper/Snacks - wotsits, proper corn, peanut butter bar
Other drinks - NAS orange squash, caramel coffee

within daily limits for all

We walked all over the place and found all sorts of ginnels, alleyways and strange tucked away places.

Favourite was when went down to Charterhouse and then towards the railway bridge, clambering around on riverside banks and walls like kids (And then finding funny tunnels under the old railway line leading into Terry road.) We also found out that we can walk from where we live out to Warwickshire via woods and fields and discovered the massive wood next to Warwick Uni with a walk through it.

Yes that was one of our routes as well but I was always horrified at the sheer amount of fly tipping and rubbish. They have rather ruined it now with the construction of the new recycling tip.

Yes, the amount of rubbish in the woodland and tunnels near the bridge was horrific. The bridge (And Charterhouse) are both impressive, though. Charterhouse especially so.

Our first house was off Ball Hill, and that suffered from horrific littering as well. I got ged up with rubbish being tossed in the front garden by people who'd used to the takeaways. Moving across to Earlsdon was like moving to a different city.
 
B: Yoghurt, berries
L: Apple and Chicken salad.
D: Daal with low carb mung bean pasta.

I had a sneaky cappuccino from Pret during my walk, and was quite surprised that despite it being 12g of carbs my BG level remained in the 5s a few hours later.
 
Monday

L - 2 slices Nimble toast with butter and Phili cheesespread, Graze lemon drizzle wow bake and a caramel coffee
D - Keto creamy cod with jammy onions and fresh dill, with a couple of baby potatoes boiled with fresh mint, leftover spring greens and leek. Hartley's lo cal blueberry muffin jelly pot. Caramel coffee
Snacks/Supper - wotsits, proper corn, 2 squares of Galaxy raspberry meringue 70% chocolate
Other drinks - NAS orange squash, blackcurrant flavoured water

Was way over on cals, 10 over on carbs and 22 over on fats - need to check all macros of a new keto recipe in future!!! Sheesh - but it was really nice. My BG seemed to like it though, so that's a relief!
 
B: greek yoghurt, blueberries, 15g granola
L: cheese on toast with tomato, salad, half apple
D: chilli, salad, half roll, strawberries and half Kvarg desert
 
Tuesday - not the best day by a long shot, but loads of walking kept it mostly in check - phew!

L - Caramel latte in Greggs with cream on top (compensation for no sausage roll!). A skinny crunch bar. Met daughter and had one slice of buttered "brown" bread toast in Morrison's Bistro, rather thick so only ate one of the two slices, 2 of granddaughter's grapes. Their restaurant is closed for refurb, so food menu is very limited to the Bistro only, otherwise I would have made a much better choice!
D - Made a butter chicken (help from a packet) plus homemade Saag Aloo (with potatoes) 😱 - everything heavy.... Two largish strawberries and greek yoghurt with honey. Caramel coffee
Snacks/Supper - more than I should have had, but munchies were B A D ! I plead the 5th, whatever it is.

Due to the day's excessive walking (for me) - 2 shopping areas and then to feed the ducks/walk the dog - I managed to burn 187 calories, which left me below on most every daily limit, but up to my limit on sugar (worst day ever) and 10g over on fat - I think I got off lightly!
 
B: Skipped as I wasn't hungry - just coffee.
L: Home made bread roll with peanut butter and some celery and cheese.
D: Leftover Daal and cauliflower rice.
 
B = Large mushrooms with crumbled feta baked
L = Couscous with chick peas, chicken and salad. Yoghurt with kiwi
D = Sausages with peppers, onions and mushrooms

New to this - does this sound OK
 
Whoops, missed a couple of days - but they were not exactly days to be copied - fair warning issued!

Wednesday
L - half a tin of smoky pea and ham soup with 2 slices toasted, buttered Nimble. 5 red grapes. Caramel coffee
D - pork shoulder steak with a few mini roasties, and medley of green veggies. A little lemon ice cream with limoncello. English breakfast tea
Supper/Snacks/5th amendment - baked crisps, wotsits, 2 skinny crunch bars, 2 squares dark choc - I can't promise that nothing ese fell into my mouth... just can't remember!
Other drinks - salted caramel coffee, flavoured water, some Pepsi Max cherry

Thursday
L - Blame the daughter - Ikea: 8 meatballs with lingonberry jam, gravy and a portion of peas (NO mashed potatoes nor chips), tea with a dash of whatever milk they use.
D - 2 frozen thick pork sausages oven baked, a few skin-on fries oven baked, 1/4 can reduced salt and no added sugar baked beans. Small strawberry jelly pot (1 cal 1 carb) with last bit of greek yoghurt with honey.
Supper/Snacks/Junk - 2 Hovis crackers with cathedral light mini, packet of baked crisps, packet salted popcorn. Last 2 squares of 70% dark choc raspberry meringue .
Other drinks - salted caramel coffee, last of Pepsi Max cherry, flavoured water.

Wednesday - 6g carbs over, rest under daily limit
Thursday - 111g over on calories (eek!), 15g over on fat, rest within daily limit.
Both days had calories burned from exercise - mainly walking - results above are with the extra calories added on, which makes Thursday's even worse. 😱
Today we started afresh ...... with hope and a prayer!
 
B: Yoghurt and berries plus some peanut butter
L: Apple, Dill, Celery salad with turkey.
D: Sainsbury's Chicken and feta ready meal, plus some mushrooms sautéed in white wine and soy sauce, and a portion of peas. Yummy! Some berries for pudding.

Hartley's rhubarb and custard lo cal jelly pot with 2 medium strawberries and a dash of light double cream. Twining's camomile and honey tea.

I've seen some skinny crunch in Poundland, I'm not sure if they are the same ones
