Group 7-day waking average?

Morning and happy easter to you all. Hope those of you indulging today enjoy it

An 8.3 here. Quite jazzed because my sensor predicts my hba1c to be around 7.5 and even though that's high for some, I think it's the best I've had in my life - at least for 25 years. So yeah, super greatful to my sensor and this forum for giving me a more normal perspective and also some accountability! Good control feels attainable for the first time to me.

It's also a beautiful sunny morning here in Newcastle so enjoyed my walk to work.
 
Yessss! 4.7 this morning. The first 4 since I've been trying for lower WAs from 27th Mar, so took me 8 days to get a breakthrough. It may be due to added exercise, not sure at this stage. Challenge now is to be consistently in the 4s.

I note the last time I achieved a 4 (4.8 to be exact) was on 14th March.

Happy Easter Sunday all!
 
I’ve just received a text to remind me that this time next week I have to report (willingly) for my second Pfizer jab. I had no side effects after the first one, and hope for the same again but will take my sister in law’s advice and take a couple of paracetamols when I get home.

It was beautifully sunny yesterday, though still cool at the seaside, but today is totally grey.

I find exercise is key for me, nothing mad but just consistent.

When I was a kid buses and trains were the normal ways of getting around. Back then a trip in a car was a novelty. Now it's the other way round..!

Cars hmmm, Probably contributed to current overweight/obesity/diabetes epidemic in the UK.
When I was a kid, although we had a family car, well Dad's car, I often walked everywhere: to primary and secondary school and back, 1.5 hrs round trip, those were the days when schools had PE, netball, lacrosse, athletics, rounders, playgrounds and encouraged activities like camping, visiting caves and seasides. I'd walk 20mins to Sainbury's for weekly shop with mum's shopping list and laden with both hands full with shopping bags I'd only then take the bus back. There was a lot of walking in my youth.
Cars definitely were a luxury.

4 for me, weight shifting again after a week of not moving then suddenly it starts coming off again, isn't weird how the body works.

What weight are you aiming for, if you don't mind my asking?!

No it definitely doesn’t! And I did it twice! Here’s the culprit!

Looks yummy, but, ahem, is that a lo-carb version or is that an oxymoron?!

Definitely an oxymoron! Don’t think caramel comes in low carb! I didn’t enjoy it, truthfully, far too sweet and sickly for me. The others ( all non diabetics thankfully) seemed to inhale it! I’m a feeder and it was lovely to bake for everyone again.

Thanks for the advice. Will take it on board. Last three mornings I have cycled for an hour. Hoping to keep it up.

Well I'm a big tall guy so 17st would be the perfect weight for me and I have just gone into the 18's from over 21st so I'm now feeling pretty good. Always got my T-shirts from Jacamo 4XL so yesturday I wore one of my old T-shirts 2XL and it was baggy so I only then noticed that I have done good. Confidence is coming back.

Wow, that’s fantastic work and weight loss. I’d be so pleased with myself too if I achieved 3st! Well done. Definitely confidence boosting!
 
Happy Easter - 9 this morning, was up early and raring to go as it was so sunny. Easter egg hunt for granddaughter in the garden, then a long walk. Followed by a hasty thrown together picnic in the garden. Wow for once (prob only time this year) it was warm in our back garden. Its north facing on top of a hill overlooking a valley. Usually its about 2 degrees colder than the front driveway.

Sounds good to me. Well done....it’s a good feeling isn’t it when the hard work pays off...a nice sense of achievement. I expect you have a bit of a skip in your step🙂
