In the Office again

I was on my own in the office today but had a very pleasant evening watching Evita with Silverback and Stephen.

Today I ate:

Shreddies

fresh peas from pods

a raw carrot

a bread roll with melted cheese

a bread roll with butter and jam

roast chicken with new potatoes, frozen peas and carrots

a slice of Arctic Roll

a nectarine

Verdict: Would have been better without the Arctic Roll, but not too bad.

A Midsummer Night's Rain

In the office on my own today.

And I ate:

muesli

two slices of nutty bread with butter

an apple

a few raspberries

some fresh peas

two slices of nutty toast with a banana

four squares of very dark chocolate from Caldey Island

a bowl of Cheerios

Verdict: strange, could be better but not too bad.

Birthday!

My birthday today and I worked with some medical students in the morning and then went out for a lovely meal in the evening.

And I ate:

muesli

banana

small ham sandwich, two pieces of breaded chicken, two small veggie pancake rolls, slices of melon (Corporate lunch!)

Italian meatballs and penne pasta, a few chips, a bowl of salad

bread and butter pudding with raspberry coulis and cream

a nectarine

Verdict: Not too bad considering it was my birthday!

Back in the Office

At last the effects of the Gliclazide seem to have worn off and I haven't been starving hungry all day!

Today I ate:

muesli

ham and tomato sandwich with salad cream, wholemeal bread

stick of celery

raw peas

chicken Kiev, with oven chips and frozen peas

half a melon

an orange

Verdict: Not bad at all!

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!

Getting ready for Tenby

I'm off the Gliclazide so not so hungry all the time hurrah!

Today I ate:

muesli

three small slices of white toast and peanut butter

pot of low-fat chocolate mousse

orange

banana

fish and (some) chips

bowl of raspberries with evaporated milk

Verdict: Could be worse, a bit too much fat!

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.
