😱Gosh that sounds rather scary! Wonderful that Mark is scouting your routes for you. Will he walk with you when you go or will your first outing be a solo adventure? Hope it opens up lots of opportunities to improve your life and outlook. Look forward to you recounting your first jaunt out!
Thank you. Mark will walk with me each time for the first few times and then twice for each new route that I try - we’ve been looking at different routes today. The only thing that I’m worried about at the moment is that I’ve read some reviews that suggest that it’s not great for outdoors so I will just have to see how it goes and keep my fingers crossed. The routes do rely a lot on getting buses but so far it looks like it should ok for Waitrose, a pub, the GP surgery and a cafe which takes ten minutes by car. With the bus it also looks good for Hobbycraft, the Range, Boots, WH Smith, the newly refurbished museum, my favourite tapas bar where they use a ramp and a place where some of the adult learning classes are held during the day. I think the main thing is to avoid busy times, in particular being home before the schools close.
I’ll tell you what is breathtaking about Großglockner, the temperature of the water coming out of the taps in the Visitor centre loos, even in August. I swear they’ve plumbed them directly into the glacier.
You or have been a proper biker Henry, we hold a bikers festival on Paignton green every year,
haven`t been able to do it for last year and this year has been cancelled, every penny goes to
charity. About 6 marquees Including two massive beer tents and two heavy metal groups playing,
called BMAD (Bikers Make A Difference). I can`t upload the pictures tonight will do tomorrow.
Hi I appreciate your comment on imposing your personal opinion but I hope you won't mind me asking when you say reduced carb diet - how reduced do you mean? I struggle with eating no carbs as I don't then feel well but my BS's are higher sometimes than they should be (over 10) following meals. My BMI is just within the healthy range. Thanks
Hi @SallyA59 sorry for not replying sooner. For some reason I'm not getting notifications for responses on this thread.
I haven't carb counted for quite a long time now, but if I remember correctly it was between 50 & 100 grams per day, certainly not in the Keto range.
By testing before and after meals I discovered which foods were affecting my readings. The main culprits were bread, pasta, rice and some of the root vegetables. These no longer feature in my diet (apart from the occasional pasta treat) 😎. I also only eat 2 meals a day now and practice intermittent fasting, usually 16 hours. I don't feel hungry doing this and I've got a lot more energy than I used to have.
I hope this is of some help to you. 🙂
Familiar. My mother lived in Rome throughout WW2 (she was Swiss and worked in the Swiss embassy) and she hated the Germans all her life. She’d never buy a product made in West Germany, not even a pencil sharpener.
Been MIA these last few days so have several pages to read through & catch up.
5.2 this morning! Still not in the 4s consistently (note to self: must try harder)
Morning all. 7.3 for me. Work is calling again and feeling tired this morning but off I go. Have a good day all, don’t all rush to the shops x @MAC2020 congrats on the HS
