Group 7-day waking average?

Pushed post too early.
@Kaylz hope your dad is ok and I bet the long overdue cuddle went down a storm, well done x
@colin sounds like you have a lot going on at the mo, I hope things settle down for you x
 
When we've done outdoor learning in the past children are encouraged to change into old clothes and waterproofs before so if anyone does get wet or muddy they can change. We have classroom doors leading outside so, before we finished, if it was raining we could leave all doors open and there was no need to be outside. I feel for your MIL. Its no fun when you're wet, cold and maybe not feeling 100% but you still need to be upbeat and enthusiastic. I hope your dad is ok x
The parents are told to send waterproofs and wellies etc but apparently they aren't making sure they have them on when they go outside, many parents are now just keeping their kids off if its raining in the morning xx

6.6 today.
Feel like c**p to be honest.

Training call for the new job yesterday was fine. More today. Starts at midday and add I’ve not had office time structure in my life for over a year it’s a bit of a shock not being able to get up and stroll away when the sun pokes through, or play with the cat when he’s demanding attention.
I’m also aware my fluid intake yesterday was abysmal. Barely drank anything. I won’t be making that mistake again today.

Diet has wavered recently too and I’ve found contraband creeping in to my fridge (which means I’ve bought it because it doesn’t otherwise miraculously appear!) so it’s been thrown out. I’m going to focus back on the 800 cal regime until I’m down to target weight and then start to reintroduce foods. I’d tried to start introducing them too soon and it’s thrown me through a loop somewhat.
It’s also clear that I’ve still got food habits which need addressing be they emotional eating traits or portion control.

Weird message from the GP yesterday asking to book an appointment for “phlebotomy samples” to be taken. I’ve already got an appointment on 7th for bloods to be drawn for HbA1C so what this is for I’ve not got a clue. I’ll call them later to see bc what’s what.

The cat’s also been being a pain the last few days. He’s an indoor beastie so fireballs and cat sick are normal but he’s been a bit moody and has managed to time his regurgitations to perfection as they’re now within moments of me putting fresh bedding on the bed. So I’m off to the pet shop to get more feliway, cat grass, maybe a new scratch post and a slow eating bowl.

A number of friends are currently isolating after being contacted by track and trace and I’m tired after a run of poor sleep.

Court case has become a lot more complicated too this week but I trust my counsel to advise the right thing.

Other than that I’m fine. 🙂
@ColinUK , hope you feel better soon and your cat settles down.
 
in the middle of Switzerland. At the top of a mountain. In winter. On a pizza.
There are many beautiful lakes in Switzerland but they aren’t well known for their lobster. Not even in summer! It’s also the first time I’ve heard of lobster on a pizza. Your first and last time.

Milky Way cake bars..something to look forward to. And another hug. Hope Bruce's arm is better soon. A two armed hug will be even better :D

So easily done. My mistake is to go to M&S food hall instead of Sainsbury’s or Tesco. “Just one or two tiny treats” - yeah, right.
I too want to lose the last ½ stone I’d targeted. My wife wants to lose a stone and is going to the 800 cal regime from Tuesday. She was very good in joining my low carb diet, so I will accompany her on 800 cals for three weeks.

Nipped into Sainsbury's on the way home, and bought a loaf of Hi Lo bread - I'll split it into packs of two slices and freeze them so I can have eggs and avocado on toast 🙂
 
Well i definitely got the bit about Tresiba working wrong. Had porridge this morning and had an extra unit than i have been having. While out, i scanned and it had shot up to 15!! Correction time again with lunch :confused:
 
@Michael12421 How are you? I've not had time today to go through the forum and read your posts so forgive 🙂
 
Thank you Colin. Drops have worn off so I can see better. I can actually find the LIKE link so can resume using it. Had a strange night though. I slept very little on Wednesday - things going through my mind - and was shattered when I got home. I expected therefore to sleep very well last night but it didn't happen. Will manage to cook a hot meal tonight so am looking forward to that.
 
thanks, Bruce pretty much crushed me but hey ho lol, even with his one bad arm! haha xx
ah that’s lovely, he loves you xx
 
He most certainly does, even after almost 11 years! 😱 xx
some relationships are just meant to be, no matter what our little faults are. My husband and I have been together 38 years next week x

Wow, congratulations and happy anniversary when it arrives! 21st September is our 11 year anniversary xx
 
I get very scared when the figures are high so I stop measuring. Must order some more strips, this has reminded me, thanks. 🙂 I'm miserable too as I'm starving hungry, this Newcastle malarkey is hard going.

I take it you have a leak?
It’s coming in through the sitting room window - it’s an old sash window and it only happens if the wind and rain is really fierce and from the north. Which it is, it’s awful today.

The Newcastle you get used to after a while, it’s just v v hard getting through the first week - then the weight drops off and you kind of get high on it!

Thanks, just over 34 yrs married but we’ve known each other since I was 8, he was 19. Needless to say we didn’t get together until I was 21 and one doomed marriage behind me !!
