Group 7-day waking average?

Well I have struggled a bit today. Had a few tears here and there but tried to keep myself busy and did have a nice ride out on Rebel, but sadly didn't manage to have my bonfire... maybe tomorrow..... I did toy with waiting until after dark and dancing naked around it since I have hit my target weight but would look a bit odd with wellies!! And it would be just the thing if someone thought my stables were on fire and called the fire brigade.
Anyway, my intentions of being good have collapsed and I have shot myself 4.5 units of Fiasp and I am having a Lidl mince pie with my cup of tea. Not had anything since breakfast and will be having my steak and salad later, but just fancied some comfort food right now, so I am slowly nibbling it and savouring every delicious sweet little crumb!
Just thought I would confess since @Lanny was so honest about her indulgence and seemed to be encouraging confessions from others.

Thank you! 🙂 can't say I'd be where I am now if COVID hadn't forced us to be unable to get our "usual" things though xx
 
Hee! I'm imagining the fire brigade rolling up and a figure cavorting round in just wellies. Enough to frighten the horses! :D

Merry Christmas all.

I don't think the horses would be as frightened as the fire officers!

I do kind of feel like doing something really controversial or out of character though... You know like really pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone.... since I am not happy in the zone anyway, like really break out and do something daft or bizarre... Maybe someone should send for the men in white coats rather than the fire brigade! Maybe I am having a Brittany Spears moment when she shaved her head.... just feel like I want to do something radical.... Maybe I should head to the coast tomorrow morning and have a dip in the North Sea... I think there is a custom of having a Boxing day dip.... Not sure I have a cossy that fits though.... Can't remember the last time I went swimming...

@rebrascora, you go for it! It doesn't have to be today or tomorrow but decide on something wacky you've always wanted to try or a new challenge. Who knows where might lead.
I think that this had been such a tough year anyway and with what you have been through recently, could this be what you need? Good luck to you and i'm sending all good wishes your way xx
 
Bonjour one and all!

And a 6.5 this morning which I’ll happily take after yesterday 🙂

Hope everyone has as good a Christmas as possible under the circumstances they found themselves in this year.

@Kaylz that fact that lockdown has helped takes nothing away from what you’ve achieved!

@rebrascora If you feel like dancing naked around a bonfire then after the year you’ve had get your kit off and light that blaze!

Morning all,
I echo @ColinUK comments above for @Kaylz and @rebrascora , this has been such a year... I wonder what our future generations will say when they read the final chapters of this bit of world history?

Every day each of us has the opportunity to write our own bit of 'history' about our lives, we can only change one day at a time!
Let's go for it today!

Oh before I forget, a 6.0 for me this morning.

Blessings Snowwy
 
5.6 this morning. Can’t complain after all the chocolate yesterday. It seems I rarely venture outside the 5’s any more. Nice to know we’re through the shortest day & will start to see and feel the days lengthening.
 
4.7 for me today. 🙂
No rain, no snow, no ice, no wind - so no excuse for not getting outside for a bit of exercise.

Stay safe and well.

Dez

I was 5.6 around 7am after eating 2 smuggled in mints. I’m feeling very grateful for hospital care and got moved to step down ward late last night. Getting a turkey Christmas dinner later, how edible it will be I don’t know but will be appreciated.
Happy Christmas everyone x

That’s brilliant news @Jade. :D

Morning all. 🙂 4.1 here.:D
 
Morning all, 5.3 here at 6.30am, beat that Christmas pudding into submission overnight. But I dozed off again and now I'm 7.1. Have a nasty feeling the Diabetes Fairy sneaked into the area before one minute past midnight, and now she’s stuck with us in Tier 4 for the duration.
 
Morning all! A 7.0 for me this morning. a few wobbles yesterday, but generally pleased with how it went, especially with a slice of Christmas cake added into the chaos.

Hope any members in the stormy/flooded areas remain safe.
 
An unexpected 11.3 this morning from a steady rise, after a lovely Level day yesterday inspite of all the usual Christmas fare through the day. A correction has sorted it and time to tackle the clearing up that we ignored last night.

A bit grey this morning, so pleased that we had such a lovely walk yesterday.
Happy to light the fire and settle down with our new books.

Have a good day.
 
Still high and 12.6 at 7.30am !! Looking forward to managing own diabetes care and being able to test own bg. But meanwhile reliant on hospital tests at meal times and bedtime.
Need to have food when it’s presented so can’t wait for bg to go down.
I just accept it and go with the flow !
Happy Boxing Day. No walkies, as can’t walk!
 
A not unexpected 7.3 after 5 quality street choccies. Had a lovely day and meal out was brill. Only about half the amount of people than last year and sat nowhere near anyone else. Crashed out in the afternoon. Taking pressies up to our 2 other grandchildren, they always have ours on Boxing Day, very socially distanced of course. Looking forward to my favourite meal of the year later, cold meat, mash and pickles, yum, ooh aa prawn cocktail.
@rebrascora any thoughts of doing a Lady Godiva maybe, go girl, you will get there xx
Have a nice day everyone xx
 
Morning all a reasonable 6.8 this morning so I’m pretty happy with that after a Tesco finest mince pie for supper. Sunny cold and frosty here today it was -7 during the night.
Have a great day everyone!!
 
Good morning, 6.1 and very happy with my numbers yesterday despite over indulging. For the first time since diagnosis I felt brave enough to eat all the carbs I wanted. My daughter made such a delicious cheesecake, very useful to have a professional chef as a daughter!
Happy Boxing Day to you all.
 
Hi All a 7.7 for me this morning,o_O 2 mince pies with clotted cream 2 turkey sandwiches with stuffing at tea time
on top of a christmas dinner, still its Christmas why not said the bad fairy on my shoulder, back on the wagon hope I can be good today have a great day all 🙂
 
I'm joining Dez with a 4.7 this morning.... why couldn't I choose one of the many days when he gets an HS!... but still very happy with that result. Stuck a single unit correction in at bed time when I hit 10. Didn't have my steak yesterday as just didn't feel like cooking anything so just a (few) handful(s) of nuts and a small chunk of cheese and some lemon and herb olives for dinner after that cheeky mince pie.... which by the way gave me the most perfect Mount Everest peak on my otherwise quite flat Libre graph. Started at 4.8, went up to just crossing the blue line at 10 by a smidgen and then back down in a very pleasingly uniform manner.... and I totally forgot to have cream and rum with it as per @SB2015 previous suggestion.... actually had an alcohol free day yesterday (polishes halo emoji). Slept better and feel brighter this morning, so hopefully that is me over the worst now. To top it off my best mate is returning from Oz for good so I have something to look forward to in Feb.... a slightly late birthday present. Just what I need, some fun and laughter and she is the girl for that!... assuming this pandemic allows a bit of that by then.

@SueEK The Lady Godiva thing crossed my mind for a fleeting moment last night..... but rapidly disappeared. I don't have a side saddle for starters and definitely not something to do astride (eek!) and it would take me a good few months to grow my hair long enough to allow for any kind of modesty!.... but then maybe when my mate gets here she will goad me into it. I miss being a bit dare devil!
