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.

Michael Jackson Broke My Internet

Michael Jackson broke my internet by sadly dying on Silverback's birthday (and Silverback and I had a great lunch at the Wellington on 25th).

Today I ate:

muesli

salad with leaves, avocado, tomatoes, red peppers, croutons

two slices of wholemeal bread with no-added-sugar raspberry jam

three digestive biscuits

fish and chips!! (Large fish but not too many chips)

half a melon

apple

orange

Verdict: Some good, some bad!

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!
