I would imagine it's partly due to underlying stress from not being able to escape the situation - certainly I have been feeling that, even though I'm fairly relaxed about the whole isolation business. Also, even if you've been going for your walk each day, you will have been far less active overall recently. I keep telling myself to take a complete 'news holiday' for at least a day or two, but have failed so far in that endeavour! 🙄
I think you’re probably right Alan on both counts. Anxiety and only walking three miles instead of 8! Yesterday I did a measly 1.2 as my back decided to play up! Seems ok today so will try again later. It’s difficult to not keep up with the news as it’s at our finger tips all day now. I’ve stopped watching the daily briefings and just get the edited highlights on the 6 o’clock news.
@Grannylorraine its 11.22 and I’m still in PJs !!! Once in a while it’s ok surely!
I’ve declared today a day off from the recent house cleaning and sorting and garden jobs and a day of total indulgence of tv watching and book reading.
Reporting a 5.3 this morning...... levels never been so good.
After struggling all week and having to adjust my lantus , woke to 6.3 which means it’s moving in the right direction now . Going to enjoy the sun and potter in the garden today after a difficult week .
6.7 this morning and off out for my daily exercise in a few minutes so that it’s done and dusted before the temperature rises and the covidiots flock to any open space.
Good morning. It's very wet. Tried really hard yesterday following crazy readings of late - but I do have an infection - I only ate a small portion of tagliatelli with home-made Ikea type meatballs and sauce and woke to a 4.9.

Struggling to remember the days now 🙄 DHL text to say the range order would be delivered tuesday so thankfully I wont be waiting until a Friday 3rd april for my spec wipes!
5.4 today, dont think I've got any tidying or anything left to do today so I may just try and relax for the first day in a while
Xx
Morning all, 5.9 here. it was so warm here yesterday I didn’t even take a cardi with me on our walk, and I went out and did some gardening in the evening until it was time to clap.
Morning all, looks like a promising day, weather wise. A more reasonable 6.3 today. Never got out for my allotted exercise as back still hurting. A tad annoyed about it all really. Ah well, I’ll just have to lounge about on my lounger in the sunshine reading my book. Have a Good a Friday as you can and no sneaking off to your second homes for the Easter weekend!
It's getting harder to remember what day of the week it is.
Christmas just gone, Santa left me these socks.......................
.........they've proved to be invaluable recently!
So whenever I'd forgotten to put on my watch, or wasn't within shouting range of an Alexa, all I had to do was slip off my slipper, stare down into my sole and there was the answer.😛
Morning everyone, 6.5 today, can’t stop eating those carbs, putting it down to comforting food, need to get a grip. Our recycling was collected this morning after 4 weeks, it was very exciting 🙂. Didn’t get around to washing the patio yesterday but did change the beds, wash the car and mow the lawn. Lovely turn out again last night, lots of clapping and cheering and so well deserved. Enjoy your Good Friday, stay safe xx
