Group 7-day waking average?

It’s snowing big flakes here. Not the day for me to try my new cycling shorts 😉

Good morning from a sunny but freezing Filey 🙂

Congrats to @khskel @freesia and @Maca44 on the HSs - we have a hat trick!

@ColinUK - good luck today. I am sure everyone's thoughts are with you

Catching up after a very lazy long weekend. Had a day of baking on Saturday. Got back to my bread making and I'm also starting to teach myself to bake cakes. Chocolate brownies, death by chocolate and chocolate shortbread so far (the family loves chocolate!). Fortunately I don't have a sweet tooth so I wasn't tempted 🙂 In the days when we could go out for a meal I would always have the cheese board if it was on the menu. Planning to do some jam tarts and a Victoria sponge this week once all the chocolate goodies have been eaten. Never made pastry or a sponge before so fingers crossed 🙂

Home made doner kebabs on Saturday with home made pitta bread (for the family), roast pork on Sunday and a chilli with cauli rice last night. Smoked salmon and asparagus crust-less quiche tonight. I've had bacon and egg for brunch for the last few days so need to get back on the diet as well. 14st 5lbs this morning with a BMI still under 26 (just!) which I am pleased with.

I'm certainly seeing the effects of no exercise for three days - 4.8 on Saturday, 5.3 on Sunday, 5.9 on Monday and 6.1 this morning. Back on the bike this afternoon to hopefully reverse the trend.

Have a great day everyone
 
Oops! I turned up a month too early. It’s 6th May!!
 
@adrian1der Baking is one of the joys of life - so satisfying - I am positive that with the skills you possess in other areas of cooking you will be A1. Very soon you will be knocking up a Sachertorte or a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cherry Cake) and wowing everyone in sight - or taste - good luck and happy baking.
 
4.4 for me this morning, but woke up a couple of hours earlier with my Libre showing "LO" and having been in the red most of the night. Yikes! Turned out it was exaggerating a little as finger prick showed 3.5 but I did have a groggy hypo headache and I was sleeping on my other side so not a compression low. As usual when I am low I had slept really soundly. Anyway, took my hypo treatment (was going to just have 2 JBs because no active insulin on board at that point as no evening Levemir, but then decided to have a Lift as well.... good decision!) Went up to 7.2 and then came down again in that last hour. There is something magical about sleeping for me that mostly drops my levels in the absence of insulin. I guess my liver sleeps with me!

@ColinUK Sorry to hear you got yourself worked up this morning for nothing and you now have another month to wait before psyching yourself up again, but hopefully you can have a more relaxing day today now than anticipated. Have a good R&R chill day. Totally understandable that you would make that mistake (if it was your mistake) when your mind is in such turmoil and with having different police reports/investigations all going on at once. Better to be early than late too!

@khskel, @freesia and @Maca44 Congrats to you all on your hat trick of House Specials. Particularly @freesia since, like me, your levels have been so erratic recently. Hope your days continue on from that positive start in the same vein.

@HenryBennett Pleased I had finished breakfast when I saw your post. I hope they don't take off as a trend. It is bad enough men flaunting bare chests in the summer!
 
10.3 at 6.30:(....very unusual....what’s going on?! Looks like Libre line started heading north around 5am. All had been going so well since the start of the year...ah well.

Gorgeous morning out there. I went for walk all wrapped up warm prepared for the minus temperature, wool walking socks pulled up to knees (under trousers) and extra warm mittens...didn’t need any of it, actually seems warmer than last few days....am very warm now.

Oh @ColinUK I imagine you’d got yourself all psyched for the appointment. I think we’ve all turned up on the wrong day for an appointment at some point.... so much going on for you at the moment, it’s easily done. Although now you have more time on a lovely day for a walk AND gardening x
 
@adrian1der Victoria sponge is so easy to do but looks magnificent. I make good pastry but it isn’t always easy, try and make sure everything, including your hands are as cold as can be. Always rest your pastry in the fridge for half an hour at least. Are you planning on short crust or rough puff? I like rough puff as no rubbing in just chopped in. If you can read, you can bake! Enjoy.

Well, that was a pretty hectic last hour or two there as I decided to wait to eat lunch after shopping came as I only had 1 pack of ramen noodles left & already ate it twice in a row as I was almost out of food! o_O I tested around midday to keep an eye on things & was surprised to see 12:25 BS 4.3 scoffed a JB, waited & just scoffed half an oatcake at 12:40 with my heart just starting to hypo race! Then, 10 minutes later at 12:50 the doorbell rang with tesco a wee bit early! My heart was still racing so,I grabbed a padded footstool from the living room to sit on in the inner front door porch to bag my shopping very slowly as I still felt shaky! Was explaining FAR too much to the delivery guy who got an education he wasn’t expecting!😱😳🙄:D😳 Then, with it all bagged, I just left the shopping in the porch while I clumsily made myself 2 ham & cheese sandwiches, 1 sandwich really as it’s on Kingsmill no crusts bread, & left it to toast in the sandwich maker while I caught my breath! Poured myself a glass of raspberry syrup cordial & zipped that while I waited. Ate the sandwiches & drank the cordial before bolusing -2 units, for safety, rested a bit more until my heart rate was normal before putting away the shopping; just done now & feeling a bit wiped out in bed as I type this!o_O I’ll be high later, always am after hypos or heading one off, but, the moral of the story is I SHOULD have eaten that bag of noodles earlier instead of waiting!😳
