Thanks, I need to curb the obsessive enthusiasm though.Well done Pipp. You have done more than me today - again
I know, thanks. I will keep looking at your post to remind me when I get a bit ahead of myself.Pipp just take your time and go at your own pace. I read what some people have done on here and think I've just done 30 minutes most days- but that's 30 minutes more than I was doing pre-diagnosis. You have to balance your other health conditions alongside doing what helps your diabetes. I have fibromyalgia as well as currently severe panic disorder so sometimes I have to break the exercise down into as little as five minute slots. It's all about finding what works and is sustainable for you- no point in doing two hours one day if you are bedridden for a fortnight afterwards! You are doing your best and that's more than enough.
I seem to have done that, no problem! Trouble is I don't have any enthusiasm at all at the mo......But yes, you do have to look after yourself. Take careThanks, I need to curb the obsessive enthusiasm though.
Thank you....hope you're feeling better this evening Pipp, these bodies of ours soon tell us if we're doing too much...
....when you said about walking round the shops as exercise it rang a bell with me, thats what I've done for ages in my lunch hour, its only since I've been in this thread that my walk's changed to a more purposeful one, and faster...and I'm saving money too!!
...remember too saying I 'dug out' the twistboard and bodyblade, I did, they hadn't seen the light of day for a while...the new addition, the skipping rope is getting regular workouts too..
...@Jamrox, you've got us moving!
Nice, so you didn't get caught in the heavy rain and thunderstorm like I did at lunchtime today. Got a soaking and so did the two lines of washing. More exercise running in and out with it.Another day completed with a 45 minute walk at lunchtime in the warm sunshine.

Thank you.
I am impressed with all we have been doing, but more so, the support and encouragement we give and get from each other.
This thread deserves an award for the innovating motivator.
Lol,

Do or can you measure your blood pressure Peace? Could be useful to know where that's sitting.35 mins brisk walk in the evening, in addition to exercise mentioned earlier.
Not feeling 100% either and I'm putting it down to coming off the metformin. It's hard to describe my symptoms today. I've felt as if my heart was in my mouth at times and my pulse is up to about 82. I had got it down to 72. I've felt quite ill today. My bg has been up as high as 6.5. This is high for me. I don't know if there is such a thing as withdrawal symptoms or my body isn't used to the higher levels.
I'll stick with it... tweak the food etc. Only had total 48g carbs today but probably not in the right places! I've put the details on my other thread.
