Turnip Time

Today I was in the office and I didn't really feel very well - - a bit lop-sided, which happens sometimes.

And I ate:

muesli

three apricots

a ham and tomato sandwich with salad cream

a bowl of rhubarb

an apple

a small raw turnip

scampi, oven chips and peas

a bowl of raspberries

a bowl of Special K

Verdict: Not too bad - - plenty of fruit and veg too!

Training for OSCE

I did some training for an OSCE (medical students' exam) this morning and then some gardening this afternoon.

And I ate:

muesli

two apples and a banana

a large chunk of white cabbage

a good number of fresh peas

two slices of wholemeal bread and strawberry jam

half tin low-sugar baked beans with two Marks and Spencers beefburgers

a large bowl of strawberries with evaporated milk

an orange

Verdict: Lots of fruit and veg and really not bad at all! Blimey!

Steak and Strawberries

I ate some rather pleasant food today, though I've been feeling a bit lop-sided and strange all day.

And I ate:

muesli

three fresh apricots

large lump of white cabbage

quite a lot of raw peas

three slices of cinnamon and raisin bread

rump steak, fried onions, peas, oven chips

large bowl of strawberries and evaporated milk

Verdict: pretty good, I didn't eat anything that I'm too ashamed of! But then I didn't seem quite so hungry as usual!

Helaina's party

Today we went to Helaina's birthday party and I ate a lot of BAD food in the middle of the afternoon.

Today I ate:

muesli

four small slices of cinnamon and raisin bread with butter

stewed gooseberries (no sugar - Canderel) with evaporated milk

two large bridge rolls with tuna and mayonnaise

a tiny cakey thing

a sausage roll and two little sausages

a large scoop of home-made chocolate ice-cream, ditto strawberry with real strawberries

a very large bowl of fruit salad with cream

a large chunk of white cabbage

a lot of fresh peas from pods

a bowl of Special K

Verdict - FAT! But, okay, quite a lot of fruit and veg too. But FAT! FAT! FAT!

Still Hungry Still Hungry

Today I spent a long time of tediousness having my hair cut.

And I ate:

muesli

three mints

two large chunks of white cabbage at different times

two slices of white bread and sugar-free jam

some raw peas

an apple

an orange

scampi, oven chips and peas (thank you Stephen)

a pot of low-fat chocolate mousse

and I'm STILL hungry!

Verdict - - oh, I'm so tired of this.

Filming a Video and Watching Films

This morning I filmed a video to help train cancer consultants - interesting and, I hope, useful. And this evening I watched "Bolt" and a Bill Bailey session - enjoyed them both very much.

I haven't written this blog for a few days as I went to Oxford with Silverback to visit my friend in hospital.

But today I ate:

muesli

baguette with cheese and ham

an apple

three shortbread biscuits

a large chunk of white cabbage

a tomato

another apple

chicken fried rice with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts

Verdict: Not good - - could be worse but NOT GOOD.

Vanstallation in Holmfirth

It was a sunny day today and Mum and I went to Holmfirth this morning to see an art exhibition including a Vanstallation - - like an installation with vans - - -

And I ate:

muesli

a butternut squash muffin (sounds hideous but it was delicious)

a fresh salmon sandwich in brown bread with cucumber and a bit of salad
with chips

lamb steak, new potatoes, peas

a bowl of strawberries with evaporated milk

Verdict: Not as much fruit and veg as usual but the good news is that, although I had my Gliclazide tablet, I haven't seemed to be as starving today - - or indeed for the past few days. Perhaps I'm getting used to it at long last - - I hope so!
