Group 7-day waking average?

I fell off the wagon again, no doubt in double figures, but too scared to check.

8.7 @ 11.07 though I was up at 7.45, didn't want to measure at all really.
 
03:38 BS 7.1. Very consistent.🙂 Very pleased with my energy levels when I went out yesterday! The most walking I’ve done all winter is about 1500 steps from the town centre to the chemist. I’ve been taking taxis into the town instead of the 3500 steps. The little walk to the chemist from there has been taking quite a bit of effort & I usually have to stop & rest 3 or 4 times because of a combination of asthma, back pain which can lead to my legs not working IF I don’t rest. Yesterday was the first time, in a very long time, I had the energy to do the 1500 steps without any rest stops although, I WAS a little bit short of breath when I got to the chemist. Still able to speak though so, didn’t need to sit down & catch my breath: usually arrive, after 3 or 4 stops, panting, puffing & needing 5 minutes to sit down before asking for my prescription.😱😳 Rewarded myself with some chips for lunch at the chip shop.😛:D I was saying to my diabetic taxi driver friend on the way home how pleased I was by my energy levels & what a tough time I’ve had this winter: can’t wait to see the back of it!😱

Still tired me out though & went to bed early, about 4/5pm; hence, up so early! A very early good morning to tou all & sending you all bright sunshine to warm you up on the inside!😉
 
That is a big improvement Lanny 🙂
 
Morning all, 6.5 for me. Not quite sure how I managed that considering the last hurrah carried on through dinner with a ping shepherds pie and a piece of cake. Then forgot to take my Metformin 😱

First shake of the day, skålo_O
 
Good morning folks . Woke up late for me and was most supprised to see daylight when I eventually opened my eyes 🙂
It is looking like I may be in for a happy relationship with my new sensor, 6.7 on the thumb and 6.2 sensor.
My graph though seems to have had a good wander around :(

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Bore da pawb / Morning all.🙂 8.3 here.:D I’m all over the place at the mo, hence the big green smile (it wasn’t a hypo, yippee).

Got my knitting group this morning - what a lovely bunch of creatively talented women they are. I just hope some of it rubs off on me!😛
 
Bon matin. Clickity click this morning, could have been worse, could have been two fat ladies! Happy with that. Feeling a bit stiff after my session with osteopath yesterday, the good? news is I won’t need a hip replacement just yet, it’s nerve pain causing the problem. Also my sacrum was out of kilter as I suspected, put back in it’s place ( again) and another loud crack when decompressing my spine. Haven’t had to make another appointment as she thinks this should sort itself out in a day or too. No hip pain or back pain so far, just the stiffness which is always the way after having treatment. I asked her if I would be able to run a marathon after this and she said of course. Which is a miracle as the most I have run in the past is a hot, bubbly bath! :DHave a terrific Tuesday everyone. 🙂

Had to look that up as I don’t play bingo! Learnt something new today: bingo lingo!🙄:D😉 6.6!
 
Good morning all, and a Happy New Year to our Chinese pals🙂

I was born in a year of the dragon. It’s a year of the dog, now.🙂

I woke on 8.2, but that may be due to a new cold I’m brewing. Or any of the other mysterious medical conditions battling for my attention. Never mind.

I did mention I thought about starting a website extolling the virtues of caffeine and vaped nicotine in neurological disorders. I’ve abandoned that idea. In 2016 when the first referendum result came in from Sunderland, a big majority leave, I commented to Mrs B “Good grief, they’ve just voted for unemployment”:confused:

Mystic Mike. Has a nice ring to it....😎

Have a good day, everyone🙂

PS I didn’t really say “Good grief”. It’s was “**** me”, but this is a family forum:D
 
Good morning 8.1 for me after a restless night. Cold, foggy and frosty here.
