Here was breakfast - 1.5 slices of bacon, coffee with ghee and coconut oil, and one of my favorites! "Sweet and Savory Omelette" recipe from the Buzzfeed Clean Eating Challenge:
SWEET AND SAVORY APPLE OMELET
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
- 2 large eggs for women; 3 large eggs for men
- 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt
Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the apple slices and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl with kosher salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon water, and beat with a fork until thoroughly combined. Spread the apples evenly on the bottom of the nonstick skillet, then add the eggs. Turn the heat to low and cook 3 minutes, until the bottom of the omelet is set and the top is only slightly liquidy. Carefully flip the omelet and cook 1 minute. Serve omelet with the other half of the apple, sliced. (I did not do this - I only had the half of an apple in my omelet to keep my carbs down)

Yum!!
Then I had a lunch meeting for work, but fortunately it included all things I could eat: lots of veggies and some meat!
What you see above is: Caesar salad, squash vegetable medley, Greek salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, chickpeas), and chicken. Also, iced tea with lemon. It was delicious!
My blood sugars have been pretty stable it seems, although I don't quite have my insulin doses worked out yet since I am trying to be conservative, so it was 142 at breakfast, 169 at lunch, and 174 at dinner.
Dinner was at a friend's house, and fortunately I was able to put together a ~17g carb dinner of spaghetti squash (1 cup), tomato sauce (1/2 cup), and lil smokies.
