I'm actually feeling pretty fit these days in spite of being technically obese, but these hiking trips I've started doing at the weekends are not helping my blood sugars at all! It's still a work in progress to 'eat right' during and after them - my appetite goes through the roof. I really thought I'd cracked it this weekend, but then right at the end, after doing a bit of cycling in a lovely quiet Welsh valley, it was so hot that I popped into a pub for a cold non-alcoholic drink, and a lovely woman visiting from Dallas, Texas(!) for the day joined me at my table - that kind of thing "never happens to me" as they say, so I gave in to my hormones and we spent the evening drinking alcohol and chatting. It was lovely, and got even better when we realised there had been a wedding in the village and we found ourselves sitting in amongst musicians who were entertaining the locals - they were brilliant, too. So it was a night of drunken revelry - I've avoided alcohol for months because it makes my appetite go crazy, and sure enough today, the "morning after" is proving challenging.
But I am determined to crack this! It's just surprising how much worse things have got bg wise since being more active at weekends.
bet it was Lucy Ewing
) - you all look gorgeous! I am in full agreement with the English gent pose, @AdamJames - a chap should always have a pipe when one is partaking of a stroll up a mountain. I do have a quibble with the lack of plus-fours, woolly socks, hobnail boots and a cricket jumper.
