Me too @Jamrox . I now have a very very painful sacroilliac joint in my pelvis and sciatica. Sciatica only kicked off when I started exercising again in the spring. I cannot win.
I've decided to walk. I can only walk a few minutes at a time. Hiked up on painkillers and sitting on people's garden walls gives me respite. I'm trying my best.
Going to do a 9 mile bike ride. I know many wouldn't consider that a lot, but it is for me. Trying to Improve my fitness levels but also reduce my insulin. Came down 2 units to 16 last week, and think I will come down two more tonight as I'm coming in below 5 in the mornings. Last week I did a 9 mile, then 5 mile, 3 mile, 1 hour of yoga, 2 miles as fast as possible then a mile fast walking - all on different days you understand. Can't always take the time for a longer session and don't have a lot of will power as exercise doesn't really float my boat. Still hanker after the days when I could lounge around, read and eat carbs! Although I don't miss carbs any more - but just occasionally it would be nice to have a cake!
Just got over a frozen shoulder and getting into morning exercises and at least one 30 minute walk a day.... and right knee seems to have popped... not too sure what it is but Lord is it sore. Walking in a straight line is okay but turning it is no fun.... and sleeping at night is a bit of a do... just hope this is not the start of bits failing... need to keep using them.......
Some people wouldn't think 100 miles was a lot and who cares lol. You are doing the right thing and finding something that works for you and that's key .I LOVE cake and treat myself sometimes. Problem is it's becoming more than sometimes recently so getting back on track now .
Hi @Hamkjam could you swim until your knees better? I can't swim but I know @Pipp and others swear by it .
Hope you feel better soon.
I am amazed but can truly say I haven't had a cake for six months! No high carbs either. I've been so good my teeth hurt lol. Not like me at all! Lchf is certainly working for me.
