Blood Pressure

 This is my BP today at lunch-time. I've swum a mile early doors. I've walked three miles before the sun got too hot and that's why the pulse rate is so high. The BP is okay though, a bit of positional wobbliness and brain fade:)

Swimming at 0700, with the pool lights on was lovely. Dark outside, then the dawn came up at about 0721 as I was swimming. As close to bliss as I can imagine, lovely.

Its the oddest thing, working a low carb diet, the food is great and nutritious and oddly enough: pretty much all the stuff I like to eat. Lots of meat, fish, eggs and vegetables. I do miss cereal, bread and potatoes, but.......do I really? Thing is, I ate bread all the time, ALL the time and it was enraging: compared to now, just how one feels hungry so soon after eating a huge dollop of bread.

I learned to eat, all wrong. Avoiding all sorts of things I shouldn't have been avoiding and eating all the things I shouldn't.

So: I've started to lose a few pounds and without doubt, I have no feelings of hunger. I get the occasional passion for this or that, of course, but I can't get Brusters Ice Cream here in the UK and there is no such thing as proper Mexican food, either. So that's out.

Here's a couple I did this week that worked pretty good, low in carb, fat and all sorts, but reasonably nutritious and filling.

Trout Soup

Mackerel Salad

Beef Scramble
