Good morning.
I didn't feel like a savory breakfast today, so I'm going to go for a sweet version.
What I'm using is this Greek style yogurt from the supermarket that's got no added sugar.
It's still got carbs in it, but a lot less.
It's about 60 grams of raspberry I'm adding to the yogurt.
Peanut butter on wholemeal toast for a bit more carbs.
A bit more protein and fat to make it more of a low GI carbs.
Fasting is 4.2.
My fasting has actually always been very good, which is a good sign.
Starting to enjoy my breakfast and test again in two hours.
I also really feel like a coffee this morning.
This is my favorite instant coffee.
It's the coffee and creamer no sugar version.
So I add some sweetener to my coffee.
However, don't be fooled.
There are still 15 grams of carbs in this coffee, which is like a piece of toast.
Still very high.
I am drinking this after my meal.
Technically, that should make it a bit more glucose friendly.
Hope I can pass my blood test afterwards.
6.9.
Okay, so the coffee is questionable.
I might reduce it to half a cup next time if I feel like one.
Just visiting.
This is the new hot thing in the world, I think.
It's not Ola Boo Boo.
It's the Skull Panda.
I've got the Skull Panda doll key ring and also another display.
It's a blind box.
So here are all the possible options I can get.
I mean, they all look very good.
So I'll be happy with most of them.
But of course, I want the secret.
Otherwise, I think I like dew.
I really like lightning.
I think teak wood or amber will go nice on brown bags if I use it as a bag charm.
Or dawn, so I'm happy with most of them.
Moment of truth.
Let's have a look.
There's a card in it, which will already tell you what it is.
Oh, this one.
The only one I didn't say I want.
Mist.
But it's a white fluffy one.
I guess white ones will go on those things.
It's actually really well made.
All the details are very pretty.
Look at the eyes.
It's got like butterfly prints in the eyeball.
And it is very soft and fluffy.
Okay, I'm happy.
I mean, how can you not like that?
It is very cute.
I might as well open this one too.
Here are all the options.
I don't mind any of them.
Ideally, secret, of course.
But the chance of getting secret is 1 in 144.
Flying high, I do like.
The card.
The symmetrical balance.
Okay.
So the doll looks like this.
Wow, amazing details again.
It's protected with all this padding because it's got very delicate parts.
So it's a balancing doll, which I need a base for.
It's so dreamy.
Look at the color combo.
Here is the base.
Like this.
Pop Mart of the day.
I'll try not to dig too much deeper into Pop Mart.
I can definitely see how it can become a very expensive hobby.
I've just made some stir-fried veggies and prawns
as my fiber and protein part of the dinner.
And there are five shallot baos still on the steamer.
But I think it's beneficial for me to eat the protein and veggies first anyway.
So I might as well start to dig into these while we're waiting.
I've stir-fried this time with some Sichuan chili sauce.
Will be very flavorful.
Just a bit of a change because I've been using sesame oil and soy sauce a lot lately.
And I'm starting to get a little bit bored of it.
But this looks delicious.
Yum.
The veggies are spinach and peas.
Just to mix things up a little bit.
So shallot bao has a pork filling which is a form of protein.
And also the skin of five shallot bao is about 30 grams.
Roughly two serves of carbs.
So I think it's a good balance.
I'm going to enjoy it now and test my sugar level in two hours.
And see if this is a good meal option for me overall.
6.5.
It's on the high end but I'm still pretty happy.
Because there are more carbs overall in the meal.
Including carbs from the vegetables, the shallot bao, the sauce.
Overall I think over 40 grams of carbs.
Two and a half serves.
So it's not a bad result considering.
