looking at your numbers I would think the review is going to be a good one..5.7 at 8am - i much prefer that to 5.9 of late!
Another night of waking at 4 am from a deep sleep, suddenly awake, hot and feeling my heart thumping....I'm going to post on a new thread to avoid going off - topic here, I have my first ever "annual review" coming up this week too so that will be another to discuss!!
Keep dancing5.5.
3rd day on the trot I've been in the 5s first thing. *happy dance*
Just got to get a handle on the rest of the day now.
Don't worry ,re myself I frown only cos I did have low 5's for quite a long time so for me 7's are disappointing but understandable because of my lack of exercise and over carbing . In a way it can be seen as a tad competitive but I don't think that way its intended . I personally like a bit of competitiveness but only in the sense that I am competing against myself if u know what I mean . P.s if you brought your levels down from 13.9 to 6.4 that's a massive improvement so be proud of your achievementsThese posts sometimes make me feel a little anxious when people show a frowny face if they get a fasting bs in the late 6 low 7s. I am completely low carbing and have bought my fasting down from 13.9 to generally 6.4 in two months and lost over 10 kg but struggling to get it lower and not sure what else to do. I thought I was doing ok, but the posts on here are generally such good numbers that I feel I will never achieve and am really over stressing on this - I know it's not a competition and this is the long haul, but feel like I am obsessing. So - note to self - chill and keep up the good work...(I suppose)
Maybe you've been having disturbing dreams that have shaken you then forgotten them as you've woken. Not sure if it is sleep amnesia or dream amnesia that stops us remembering. I'd've expected you to be higher after a shake awake like that... glad its on the downward trend again though5.7 at 8am - i much prefer that to 5.9 of late!

I'm trying to stay in the low 5's,Make my day, I promise to keep in the 4,s to keep it a good challenge. A bit of friendly advice, I can see another

Apologies I didn't think that my response would be taken quite so seriously and treated as an attempt to encourage Merrylizard back on the carbs again. I know how difficult it is to cut carbs and also to be on a VLC diet but I also believe that individuals are perfectly capable in deciding for themselves whether they eat carbs or not and, if so, how many. I'm sure that one remark from me, or anyone else for that matter, will not influence that decision and I think that you do them a dis-service by suggesting that it will.Would you say that to an alcoholic in a dry out period at A.A or a smoker trying to give up cigarettes . A carboholic is in the same situation, its not easy, especially for somebody on the N.D.
I realise that we all need our little treats, but we also must remember that EVERYDAY is a day for celebration, and thats the problem.
So we can agree to disagree.
Enjoy your night out and don't worry too much about your report card - we're allowed the occasional bad mark!!!!
Hola @JohnD544.9 on this Sunny Sunday morning, busy day, lunch at my daughters house, footie to watch, could be a visit to local to watch the Arsenal game and hopefully my MU will be able to beat Everton in the earlier game (we live in hope).
Enjoy your day whatever you are doing and keep well.
