Sounds like you are certainly working off all the food! Is it still nice there? Am guessing so if you are swimming so much, it's so hot here but I'm sure it is supposed to start raining this weekend. I used to do some breakfast waitressing when I was in my late teens, and after the early shift we were able to eat whatever we wanted and I used to have a full English and then wouldn't need to eat again until dinner, I lost loads of weight! Might have to try that again
The weather is good, very sunny and hot, but windy which keeps you cool, but sometimes drives me nuts with my hair blowing in my face all the time! I love a cooked breakfast and it can really set you up for the day especially if you avoid the carby bread and just stick to the good old egg bacon and so on. Its a great way to start the day on a low carb diet, which is kind of what im aiming for eventually to maintain.
We have friends arriving tomorrow, so ive been out today and shopped for them so they have some supplies in. Im guessing we will end up going out for a meal with them tomorrow night, but Tuesday is my fasting day so im going to be very strong willed and just have the plainest salad I can get and no bread, and no wine either. Today however is an eating day, so we are off out this evening into Los Cristianos to The House restaurant. We went there a week or so ago and I had a wonderful salad with chicken prawns and bacon, but tonight I may try one of their other salads.
I bought melon from the local supermarket a couple days ago, Sapo de Piel, omg its so good. I have a slice for breakfast with one paper thin slice of Serrano ham, its heavenly. The fruit here is wonderful and I am gradually eating a bit more as the days go by. Im being cautious because obviously I need my blood glucose to come down, but its still on a downward trend so im starting to relax a little as far as fruit goes. There are wonderful peaches called paraguaya, which we know as donut peaches. They are sweet and delicious, I usually eat one of those a day as well. The only other fruit ive eaten is some Fuji apple, which I chop up into the salad mix I make for fasting days, but today I did buy a pineapple, the smell from it was intense so I may start having a bit of that as well each day.
I love the fruit and veg here, the colours of the salad stuff is so vivid and it looks so appetising, the only thing I havnt liked which I do normally eat at home is celery, normally I love celery but the ones they have here have a very intense almost aniseedy flavour to it and it overpowers everything else, so ive given up on that.
In the supermarket today I found a bargain in the frozen fish, they are white fish fillets, although the packaging does not say which type of fish, but looks like a sole. 5 really good size fillets in the pack for less than €3, each fillet will be about 130 calories as are they are skinless, so I can have one of those on my fasting days with salad. If we don't end up eating out tomorrow then I will have one of those.
