Good morning all. 5.6 this morning which is a tad high for me.
I increased my diet yesterday but kept the carbs and cholesterol low. The result this morning? My weight dropped yet again. Either scales are lying or this is slightly concerning, but its only 1 day.
Well I am a worrier, always have been, not that it has ever helped any.
Morning folks, 6.9 for me today. Got a call from the hospital yesterday and apparently my London consultant is going to call me today at 9am. The anticipation is killing me, will he give me an operation date? Got butterflies already. Will let you know what he says. 😳
Enjoy your dat everyone x
Have you played meeting bingo.
You know the key words that are likely to come up.
Make your card(s). You might need an alternative to shouting out Bingo!!!
5.1 on waking, and now 8 as I wait for breakfast. I was interested to see how high I would go with the Dawn Phenomenon, before I go to get the milk from the local(ish) shop. Should have done it yesterday, but it was pouring. Now we need it for breakfast and ...... I can see a patch of blue in the distance, but there is a lot of rain between me and that small patch.
The to do list will always be long @freesia so don’t forget to take time out and have a proper break at some point over the weekend.
I have recently updated my IPad, and been having more issues with it freezing. I had not linked the two. Thanks @Lanny . I hoe you get your prescription sorted.
I’m redecorating the spare room today. I’m fed up with the beige-custard colour that the previous owners must’ve loved cos it’s EVerywhere. Best crack on cos there’s a walk to be had and laundry to do too and Gwennie needs a haircut.
6.3 for me this morning, not surprising as real lack of sleep last night, took ages to drop off as was shivering then woke up 15 minutes after last seeing the clock thinking I'd been sleeping much longer then just tossed and turned the night, don't know why I was so restless
Men are officially useless, Bruce forgot to pick my parcel up at the post office yesterday even though he'd put the card in his wallet and was stood at said post office with wallet in hand paying his rent, he bought 1kg yoghurt and how he thinks I'n supposed to get through that in 3 days is beyond me! (I only asked him to see if they were well dated) forgot to use the screenshot of my Lidl Plus card (could really do with him using it as really starting to struggle now), brought up less of something than what I asked for and then sent pics of dates rather than nutrition, what gets me most is he'll have a go about people doing things like this from only being told by mouth but all of this was written down for him! Never mind he never forgot any of the crap he doesn't really need so stuff others
xx
@Bloden me and Bruce keep saying if the council get a move on and we get my grandads old place it will take a lot of decorating, he'd been there 23 years and never decorated anything! The dado rail in the living room would be down for a start! The bathroom will probably be done before its put on the site though as the contractors can only do the ones in empty properties just now but the bathroom at the moment is disgusting, its a blue and awful yellow! xx
7.5 before brekkie.
Bit disappointed as running at 6.x all night (several tests as another lousy sleep).
Yesterday was really good - all pre-meals between 6.3 and 7.1,🙂 as had so many above 10 recently.
Off for a coffee-on-the-beach later. The sky is brilliant blue, the sea is sounding hypnotic as it pounds the beach and the wind is fairly strong and cold.
Been up all night. Literally not more than an hour sleep between 2 and 3.
Yesterday was tough.
Last night I played everything from the evening when I was 17 over and over in my mind.
I could clearly see his face, hear his voice and feel his touch.
I’ve started to piece together that so much of my behaviour has been shaped by the dark shadow that experience cast over my life.
I’m making contact with Survivors U.K. who are a male sexual assault support charity.
I’d expected BG to be ludicrously high this morning but it’s only 6.2 so not at all bad considering the large bag of almonds and the giant chocolate buttons I scoffed yesterday.
Supposed to be working today but decided I’m taking the dog poop cupcakes to the folks as a surprise instead.
Yes we’ll hug.
Yes this is largely for me.
No I don’t know if I’ll tell them today.
No they’re not actually made of dog poop but just look like awful!
@ColinUK it's so hard to shake off the effects from the past and yet you don't want them to taint your life for ever. Hope the charity helps you move forward. Your assailants don't deserve so much head space.
Enjoy the dog poop cakes
Morning. A Len Goodman for me. SEVEN! Hadn’t had one of those for ages, thank goodness. Haven’t done any exercise this week as the weather has been total rubbish, fair weather walker, must try harder. Looking out the window it’s not going to happen today either.
Actually nipping into town to pick up an order, Easter present for baby Zara, thought she might be too young for a chocolate egg. 🙄 Then will go into the Tesco Metro, it’ll be nice and quiet. Need a bottle of wine for this evening’s meal, well, need is maybe pushing it, but it will be a nice addition to a steak dinner. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Have a super, hopefully drier, Saturday. 🙂
Morning 8 today !
maybe because I didn’t get up until 08:30 or the thought of going back to work on Monday (I’ve been off work since the start of December)
Morning everyone. A 9.4 for me after a spike overnight, maybe the after effect of the stresses yesterday. Anyway will not be doing much this weekend @SB2015, most of my to do things can't be done at home. I like the idea of the meeting bingo though. @ColinUK i hope you get the help from the charity and i wish you all the best for being so brave and talking about it. Enjoy seeing your family.
Have a good Saturday everyone.
