Back from Tenby
After a week of eating really rather too much food in Tenby, I'm back and trying to lose some weight before we go to Italy!
But I'm not on a diet really - just trying to go back to how I was before I was put on Gliclazide, which made me gain seven pounds in a few weeks.
Today I ate:
muesli (no sugar)
ham and tomato sandwich with salad cream
stick of celery
stewed blackcurrants, no sugar, with evaporated milk
fresh peas from pods
apple
Chicken Kiev, boiled potatoes, peas
half a melon
orange
nectarine
Verdict: Not bad at all - certainly plenty of fruit!

No More Gliclazide!
I have missed a few days' writing here, in which I went to the doctor and was told that my blood result was good and I could come off the gliclazide, which makes me eat all the time - I've put on 6lbs in a few weeks and got rather dispirited.
But now I can work on losing it again!
Today I ate:
muesli
two small slices of white bread and jam
two raw carrots
some lettuce
an apple
a banana
two chicken burgers with half a tin of low-sugar baked beans
a bowl of strawberries with a bit of ice cream
three digestive biscuits
Verdict: Could be better, but not too bad.
