"A new you in 42"

Today I did:
Swim 20 mins
Aqua running 10 mins
Water exercise devised by me which I am calling aqua-pilates 15 mins.
Total 45 mins, so I avoided the supermarket stagger an went to the hairdresser instead. Only exercise in there was vocal chords having a good natter.
 
Didn't sleep much because I've got a sore throat .
Proud of myself today though 35 minutes very gentle pedal on my exercise bike after work.

Well done Jamrox!
No nagging from me this evening - and loads of brownie points for your bike session - particularly when you're a bit poorly. Hey - if you can set up the bike near the TV you can cycle whilst watching the Tour de France! You can give Mark Cavendish a run of his money!
Rest up now - G&T works well on a sore throat.;)

I was on the bike myself today - did a 1hr circuit in the sunshine! :)
 
Trying a new regime of four meals a day (smallish ones) to see if it will regularise my liver a bit, and with that I'm trying to exercise in shorter bursts around an hour after eating to burn the glucose off. So I did 5 minutes on the rower an hour after breakfast, didn't manage anything after 'lunch', and 15 minutes walk an hour after 'tea'. Will see if I can do another stint on the rower after dinner.
 
Oh dear, hope you soon feel alright @cold ethyl and @Jamrox
I used to swear by gargling then swallowing a large glass of brandy when I had a sore throat or felt ill. But then I became diabetic and the rest is history.

...Its football and tennis now Pipp, they're in front of the box perhaps :rolleyes: ....must admit, I'm glued to the tennis myself, not too fussed about the footie...

...45 minute walk today and a quick burst [5 mins] of skipping....
 
20 minutes brisk walk after breakfast. Think I'll try and do this every say now. 40 minutes brisk walk this evening. I'm so used to doing that evening walk, I couldn't cut it short. So 6k walked today.

Forgot to say. I have a few pairs of Skechers shoes and similar. Very comfortable for walking in as well as ordinary wearing. I had a little stone in my shoe during my evening walk. Went to sort it out and looked ... I have been wearing odd shoes all day!!!!

I know - it's so sad.
I don't know exactly what happened but apparently @Andy12345 got burnt somewhere else on the forum, which upset @zand so much that she went and took it out on the lovely @julifriend on one of his threads.
I think our friends are hurting a bit :(

Can we do a collective shout out to say 'please come back because we miss you!':arghh:

That's an impressive amount of walking @peacetrain!
The evening is a lovely time to be out. My hubby and I walked around the garden yesterday evening. The mist was rising, and there were lots of smells of fresh greenery and blossom from the day's rain. Mmmmm

It's very sad - I didn't realise Andy was involved, I thought he was on holiday.

Sure, I'll do a study today and over the weekend. At the moment my BGs seem to have completely stalled at about 6.0-6.2, even my preprandials which before were in the mid 5s and even high 4s. I put it down to all this bl00dy exercise ... :confused: Actually I think it's stress (work).

Last night for instance I was 5.8 before dinner (proper burger and 'ratatouille', a bit of 85% chocolate), 6.3 after two hours (did 5 mins on rower at +1), 6.2 at bedtime and 6.2 again when I got up this morning. I'll have to test before and after exercise of course.

Ahhh - yes that would make sense, because I'm not sure Andy would let anything put him off posting his supportive comments! Hopefully he is away enjoying himself in the sunshine - and is having way too much fun to post here Yay!:cool:

@dianagrace - we miss you too!:)
