Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.2

@Freddie1966 you've been very quiet, hope all is well xx
 
I have improved this morning it's down to 9 mmol so that is at least a single figure. Ah well in the right direction stopping medication today will see how bad it is tommorrow.
 
Morning. 9.1 for me. Half a snack too much maybe after a straight down arrow before bed...after an evening of steadily rising arrow before that, that I may have over corrected for. Ah well. Too much chicken seems to have that effect on me it seems...although scrummy chicken shawarma for dinner, should have left some for lunch today🙄).

Determined to get in the garden today this afternoon...although I’ve said that everyday this week.

@Flower and @HenryBennett , I’m going clockwise today, although that means the bigger hill.

@Spozkins did you take the pic in your signature thingy? It’s really nice?

Have good days everyone. x

Same here @freesia! It's my dream too to move to the coast, southwest, Bournemouth or Poole, Cornwall etc. even near @KARNAK perhaps? Mr Mac2020 takes some persuading though. He wants to move to a beach further afield, abroad to Barbados! I agree on both accounts: it must be so nice to live by the seaside and who knows when that will be now?! I also can get stressed so moving near the beach makes sense.

Well done to @Nayshiftin for getting below 10 (keep that up and you'll have to change your handle to Yayshiftin) and @Spozkins for keeping above 4!

5.4 this morning. Already braved the 3degs outside and walked my 10K steps around the park long enough to watch the frost get burnt off the grass by the rising sun. Promises to be a sunny albeit cold day.
 
7.2 this morning. Spent the day settling in, getting the caravan in shape and friends came round for a drink later, good to catch up. Sunny but chilly this morning, will try and get the dog out and meeting another friend later for a cuppa, blankets to the fore I think.
Have a good day all x

That's a nasty one

It‘s on the inside, so it’s only when I removed the wheel it was obviously not a repairable puncture. May as well match the tyres on the rear axle.

We too have been thinking about Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Just walking along the beach and being able to hear the sea is relaxing.

Enjoy your time at the van and with your friends @SueEK

I grew up on the South Wales coast but after leaving Wales for Bedfordshire, and then Bedfordshire for Berkshire, I've spent the last 50 years living as far from the coast as it's possible to be.....! Like you we'd like to sell up and retire to the coast one day. We particularly like the Isle of Purbeck area in Dorset, especially Swanage.

Very nice

A beautiful clear and crisp morning here in West Berks today and a 5.5 for me at 07:09

Another new recipe for me last night and another great hit with the family "Poulet au Vinaigre" from the original Pinch of Nom book. Only two pieces of Death by Chocolate Cake left in the cake tin so I'll need to bake for the family tomorrow. I'm thinking scones as I picked up some clotted cream at the farm shop yesterday 🙂 Need to add to my recipe selection which so far extends to Death by Chocolate, Chocolate Shortbread, Chocolate Brownies and Jam Tarts. I'll start some bread this evening as I am super excited that my sourdough starter arrived yesterday. A good feed and it's bubbling away nicely. I'll start a loaf tonight and then leave it to prove in the fridge over night and bake in the morning.

Having read your scrummy recipes Adrian, I ordered the Pinch of Nom book and it arrived yesterday. Looks good and it really helps to have the carb content (though I’d have liked more direction over portion size).
I‘m going to pick out some recipes and check I have the ingredients before doing my online grocery list.

I need to get back on track. A shocking 8.8 today and I’ve not registered even in pre-diabetic range on the Hba1c since my dx nearly 6 yrs ago. Will be pretty bad now but I know other health issues are impacting however :(
 
I've got all of the Pinch of Nom books and find the recipes really tasty and i've found the carb amounts per portion usually tally up with my own calculations.
 
Felt rough overnight. Woke up on a 10.8 and it’s only down to 9.7 now.

I can’t “like” that, and just hope you feel better and BG comes down.
 
@ColinUK Sorry to hear you are feeling rough. I imagine your elevated readings are due to stress. Try to get out for some exercise and fresh air if you can today. You know it will do you good. Thinking of you and hoping you feel a weight lifted or at least eased soon. (((HUGS)))
 
That said, I’m waiting for a delivery of window boxes for the front of the house, so I’ve been up and busy since 7am.
I’m cooking. Pudding of course. Low carb and sugar free.
Bake a layer of pecan crumb and then layer creamy cream cheese, then chocolate, then chantilly so it’s a chill at every stage thing.
Cream cheese layer is made and in a bowl waiting to go on. Chantilly is also in the fridge. Not going to start the sort of chocolate creme pat until I’m ready for it. Pecan crumb is cooling nicely and the kitchen smells scrumptious!

I’ll have a look at the PoN books but so many cookbooks tend to focus on pork or shellfish so there’s huge sections I usually have to disregard.

I’ve also cleared the gutters on a flat roof (which was blocked by an empty vodka bottle, an empty wine bottle, tonnes of seeds which look like sycamore but aren’t, and a half empty, but ice cold, can of Sprite.
Which is odd as I’m the only one living here so maybe there’s a ghost with a penchant for fizzy pop.

It may well be time to change the front door lock and to put a gutter guard in place.

Oh this is the pud... https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/sex-in-a-pan-sugar-free-low-carb-gluten-free/

What else?

Survivors U.K. yesterday was great. Was a tough day yesterday and I’m pleased I made it to the Zoom call. Cathartic, puzzling, reassuring all at the same time.
I’m going to be joining a couple of their other groups, one is a philosophy course and another is dungeons and dragons which I’ve not played since I was at school.
I’m curious to know more about why DnD is being used as a therapeutic tool but I’m also looking forward to playing!

On a side note, is anyone else watching The Good Fight? This season is so good!
 
When the delivery is done (hopefully by 2:30) I’m going to shove some shorts on and go to the gym.
I may wear more than just shorts but I like to live dangerously!
 
We too have dreams of moving to the coast. Every time we’re on holiday in Devon or Cornwall, Scottish coastline or islands we say let’s move. But of course we don’t want to move too far from the family so we’ll just settle for lots of coastal holidays.
 
12:16 BS 5.7 🙂 Little Miss Slugabed reporting in VERY late as I had a HUGE catch up sleep after not much sleep the day before: WHY do I get so anxious before reviews; it’s never QUITE as bad as I fear?🙄😱

But, I’m afraid that there’s no other thing for it but, to go Australian with a G’day Mates! 😳🙄:D😉😛😎 Ah! After some much needed sleep, I feel all bright eyed & bushy tailed! A bouncing bunny emoji!
 
Oh yes! Forgot to say! Sluggishly stuck in my LR dose when 6am alarm went off: all done horizontally in bed with 2 jabs; a bit blind as I couldn’t see my thigh & just stuck them in & more or less straight back to sleep! 🙄 In case you’re wondering how I woke with a decent number?😛😎:D😉
