Group 7-day waking average?

Rain has been lashing down during the early hours, eased off now thank goodness. 7.4 for me today which I’m not happy with. Numbers seem quite high last week or so no matter what I eat ho hum, D fairy fluttering around me being a pain in the neck 🙄🙄. Have a good weekend all x

I love doing a big shop!
Where I live there are only Tesco Metro / Little Waitrose / Sainsbury’s Local nearby (the downside of living right in the middle of central London) so when I go to a full-size supermarket I’m awestruck by the variety of goods on offer. I walk around like it’s an alien world (because it is) and then I wonder why anyone actually needs quite so many choices to pick from.
And I usually end up buying the same stuff I’d buy locally but just in larger packs 🙂

I love a foreign supermarket, could spend ages in one! Sad or what? :D
 
I’m well late today. Had a very restless night for some reason, ( well I do know and my fellow over 50 female forum members will understand) but the lie in has given me a lovely 5.8. Storm Jorge hasn’t hit yet, lots of rain during the night but dry and sunny at the moment. A cooking day for me today, chicken to joint and freeze, stock to make and then cauli soup and ratatouille for the freezer. I love a day with my pinny on. Have a super Saturday and stay away from that Spanish fella! 😉
 
Morning all, 7.8 for me today and no work for 18 days. Chicken curry in the slow cooker for dinner later. Get my nails done later ready for my holiday on Thursday. Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning not sure what to put today 2.3 at 0:30 hours 5 jelly babies and a handful of mixed nuts, tested again at 04:00 and just a slight rise 16.7😱. 4 units of NR and down to 8.3 an hour later 2 more units of NR down to 4.3 at 07:00 hours so I`ll take that.🙂 Jorge is approaching so batten down the hatches just feel for those poor people in flood areas,:( suns shining at the moment but real black clouds over Dartmoor.

6.2 this morning, so on the way back down again, just got to try to sustain it.
To try and give things a boost, I've at last got around to buying myself a copy of 'Carbs & Calorie Counter' book that is often recommended. Looks good, and the photos do clearly bring home the message of what portion sizes look like - some of them definitely not so generous as the portion sizes I've been counting! So I think it will help.

Great book @Toucan full of valuable info, I liked it so much I bought another one.😳:D

Not sure about the HS @ColinUK but as its honorary as @Northerner says we`ll give you that.🙂


We got a few more days of weathering so stay safe folks, take care.🙂

I’m out of test strips so I’m going to declare an honorary 5.2 🙂

Love your cheek Colin, but we are having none of it! Nice try though! 😎

Edited to add....
....... clearly that was the Royal "we" I used since Ted and Alan seem prepared to accept your ckeeky honorary HS and they have been here much longer than me, so looks like you are going to get away with it. Jammy so and so!

I wouldn't mind an honorary HS myself seeing as I was too cold to get any blood out! :D
 
Very late today. Been busy preparing for an interview 😳 20 years since the last proper interview !

6.8 at 930am I had a solid undisturbed 11 hours most unlike me !

Hope everyone has had a good day, still one more day of the weekend 🙂
 
Good morning

Still no snow here and its pretty calm out there surprisingly

Anyways it's a 5.2 for me this morning, tried to upload a pic but says file is too large to do so, so that must've changed since the forum upgrade as used to be fine, ah well never mind just means no more pics from me

Anyway have a nice sunday folks, I'm hopefully off to the other town shopping tonight if my dad is still coming through
Xx
 
Morning all and welcome to a new month my reading for today is 6.9
 
Morning all
@Northerner LoL my mum used to say that... memories
5.5 for me today, looks a better day weatherwise in sunny Sussex.
Off to church later and then back home to experiment by cooking banana and blueberry muffins from the low-carb recipe app.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Lovely 5.8 this morning, very pleased with that. As @Snowwy says it’s a beautiful morning in Sussex. @Kaylz congrats on the HS. Have a good day all, enjoy any sunshine you may get x

8.1 and dodgy tummy which means I can't risk going running this morning. Thinking about going back to bed.

@Kaylz congrats on your HS.

Sorry you are feeling bad - a return to a warm bed sounds like a very good idea. Nothing like sleep to help you feel a bit better 🙂
