Group 7-day waking average?

Congratulations to those with HS today. I woke to 4.7, barely got above 5 all day yesterday, but that will probably change after this evenings meal, which is something my son picked and he goes by what he likes the look of not calories or carbs, but I think it is only fair that he picks 1/2 the weeks meals (if only he would cook 1/2 the weeks meals lol). It says 60g of carbs which is almost my daily total, but as it has chopped potatoes in it, I will try and remove them from my portion when dishing dinner up and he can have extra if he wants them, so that way reducing my carbs without trying to teak the recipe.

1/2 way through the weeks folks for those like me who do a standard Monday to Friday or are retired. I know this phrase annoys hubby as he does shift work and today is he day off and next day off is not until Monday.

Have a good one everyone.
 
Morning all, eventually! A 5.4 after a lie in.

Was really surprised to see it was 8.35 when I woke, I’d only been up 5 minutes earlier for the loo and it was only 6.50! Ah well, I must have needed it.

It was a long day yesterday at the hospital. Appointment 9.45, there at 9.25, left at 13.35! We did have a walk down to the marina in between the “sparkles” being injected into Sadie and the nuclear kidney scan. She was so brave throughout it all, especially when a gull pooped on her whilst we were having our sandwiches! She thought that was hilarious. It was just a routine scan to make sure her kidneys were fine after a hospital stay last year with a suspected infection. They never actually diagnosed a UTI or kidney infection but she was really poorly for 48 hours with a raging temperature. I’m sure all will be well as she’s been fine since. She’ll have a tale to tell at nursery this morning and will be taking in her bravery certificate.

Have a good day all and well done @Gwynn and @EllsBells on your HSs. 🙂
 
Morning. A higher 8.8. Had a proper doozy of a hypo yesterday morning and ended up having the glucogen shot. Spent the rest of the day dealing with the after effects of that.

Anyway, 8.8. Not feeling much upto eating so should remain stable I think. I'm going to have a super lazy day and catch up with posts later on.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

5.6 - waking - this morning
7.2 - bedtime - last night 11/5/2021

Have I missed the arrival of a new baby and therefore congratulations or is he a borrowed baby? Have to ask!

Good morning all, brilliant sunshine here in Sale, wet underfoot, managed an hour in the garden, feel quite accomplished. Now watching Dr G medical examiner. I am so being good today, this programme puts the wind up me! Agh. 7.5 @ 6.09am

Well, you better breath in as I'm joining you as well with a 5.2 at 05:05 this morning.

I weighed in at 13st 12.2lbs which gives me, drum roll please, a BMI of 24.9 - I'm normal!
 
Congratulations all round this morning. @EllsBells @Gwynn and particularly @adrian1der on your trio of HSs but also that fabulous achievement on hitting a normal BMI especially considering how far you have come and the inspirational meals you cook.
 
@adrian1der congratulations on so many levels. Firstly your HS, secondly your weight loss and return to normal BMI range, great for your sense of satisfaction and thirdly and very importantly in helping out your stepdaughter. Having suffered from PND after my first child (hence the 5 years between them) my mum was my lifesaver in helping me. To have a much needed break, physically and mentally is a wonderful gift to have given her. I hope she is feeling better soon xx

Sounds like you’re doing a grand job. 🙂
 
Any know where @ColinUK is? Just realised he hasn't been on for a while.
