Blood sugars no problem. But that is where the problem started. On another thread a while ago, lots of people suggested I should be testing. So I bought a meter and started testing. Then someone else suggested I should try testing after eating high carb and sugary foods. Gullible fool that I am, I steraed to push limits. Gained a fair bit of weight back, which I really don't need, as I am still carrying about 4-5 stones more than is good for me. Trouble is, I cannot get back into good eating habits. Tried LCHF but the amount of cheese and cream I consumed was vast. Just felt hungry all the time. Thinking of trying to get back to Newcastle method, because I have done it before, successfully, but that was to reverse T2. Without the high blood glucose readings the incentive is not there.Pipp what's up with your eating? Is it knocking off your blood sugars
How about locking me in a barn with just water to drink and an occasional cauliflower chucked in?Pipp, I don't know what to suggest diet wise- I've been lucky so far in that I feel better not eating carbs so it is a good incentive to keep at it. I haven't gone mad on the fat side of things so weight loss has been good. Mainly lots of meaty things with salad and low carb veg, or tuna and mackerel. Perhaps a short burst on the Newcastle might kickstart weight loss and give you the motivation to carry on losing weight. Obviously your BS levels are ok now, but carrying the excess weight round isn't great for heart or joints and long term may impact on BS again. I know you know all this but anything I can do to help you, just shout x
Pipp I have salad most days for lunch with Coronation chicken Oh how I love coronation chicken lol.
Tell you what , you try hard with the eating and Ill try hard with the swimming. Oh how I wish I could do it. I went tonight to practice. I did it for about half an hour . My immediate goal is to do a width without stopping. Not much I know
Cut down on walking, and increase swimming?Today "swam " for about half an hour ..mm don't know if I can call it swimming yet.
Went for a walk at lunchtime too.
My thighs and knees are sore tonight Pipp any tips?
Ok, I am getting off the sofa, right now.Doing well Jamrox, if you keep at it you'll probably find a crossover line from gritting your teeth and getting on with it to oh this isn't too bad..
More rushing round at lunchtime, its one of those weeks, nearly the whole hour spent walking, loads of ironing to do this evening so at least I won't be flopped out on the sofa..
I haven't done any exercise today apart from going up and down stairs a lot looking after a relative with a broken wrist. Definitely not skiving today though. I would've loved to have walked instead.
