Sooo today I decided to sod the calories but stay as low carb as I could while still having what I wanted. It's my 40th so I decided to be a bit less strict.
I had ONE poppadom and dips, no mango chutney though.
An onion bhaji.
A lamb curry. No rice or naan.
Vegetable curry as the side, the other choices were chickpeas, potatoes or dal.
Then they put mango sorbet in front of us and I did have a bit, but the whole thing was tiny, probably only 2 tablespoons.
Then they brought things that look like little hundreds and thousands, but they were banished flavour for cleaning your palate. I've never seen those before. So I tasted those.
Then when they offered the liquor at the end, I had a baileys.
So not the best, but not the worst either. I have to learn how to make good choices for life so the odd off plan meal won't hurt.
I'll be very interested to see what my numbers do tomorrow. This morning I was 11st 12lb. This afternoon I was 11st 11lb. Tonight after eating I was 11st 12lb and I'm normally 3lb more in the evening than the morning. So 🤞
A refined carb hasn't passed my lips for about 2 weeks I think but I feel ok, I don't feel like my bg is high.
I think the carbs have been offset by the fats maybe, and actually, I think bhaji's are made with garam flour which isn't as bad as white flour. I hope 😂
