Good Morning Cinque, Minka & Thin (and anyone else who’s reading but not posting),
My FD went reasonable well, although I did have an unplanned cup of hot almond milk with a little vanilla mid-evening. This should be fine though as I had one less pot of tea than usual during the day.
Minka, I use eucalyptus oil to try to avoid the many respiratory germs around at the moment. I pour it neat into an oil warmer so the vapour is in the living room and bedroom. So far just about everyone I know has had infections in the last month and I’ve avoided it so far. (I think it helps that I’m retired and not spending time on crowded buses and offices.)
Minka how have you sourced your inulin? I can’t find it at the physical or online pharmacies that I usually buy from. I’ve seen inulin powder advertised online, but I’m always wary about online suppliers that I don’t have experience purchasing from. Any advice on what and where to purchase would be welcome.
Thin – glad you had good NFDs. Like you, I usually find the days at home the easiest.
Cinque – I also have a limited repertoire on FDs of 3 meal choices – it’s either a stir fry of veg & a little chicken/squid/prawns/nuts, or a large bowl of veg soup (with a boiled egg if it doesn’t contain legumes or meat), or an omelette with veggie filling. In hot weather I drop the soup option and add a bowl of salad veg instead. In addition to my meal I have 250ml milk (for cups of tea) and 1 piece of fruit.
Because I don’t count calories anymore, having meal options that I know will work on a FD is helpful. It’s funny, I have worked out plenty of other meal options that will fit on a FD but I always come back to these 3 – I think because they are easy and I usually have all the ingredients in the house. They are also quick – soup is always in the freezer and the others take just minutes of preparation. I’ve come to realise that getting a meal on the plate quickly on a FD when you’ve reach the end of your limit of avoiding food all day is important.
Hope you are having good long weekend.
