I find that my low carb diet has given me more energy. I feel like superman. I'm more active in the evenings and happy to do stuff that is more active than watching tv. Just recently got a German shepherd pup whos growing to be a beast so night time walkies are no problem as far as safety is concerned. The dog has to be walked. Since going on low carb no sugar, I feel as tho my auto immune issues are sorting themselves out. My eyes and mouth are not as dry as before. My nose is actually manufacturing boggies that I've not had in years. Im not as tired in the mornings like I used to be. I'm climbing 7 flights of stairs 3 times a day instead of using a lift. I'm loving this diabetes cos I'm going to get my mind and body back in order. I'm sorry for those who's diabetes has got out of hand and difficult for them manage. Those who can help themselves to minimise its danger and don't need constant encouragement.

lol and i thought low carbing was for health reasons, never considered it would improve bogey production, and imagine the extra exercise routing around up there looking for a record breaker :)
 
Only 4300 yesterday and another slow start today. Must play just dance tonight to bring things up!

5500 yesterday, arms aching after just dance again. Andy I don't think you need one to know you'd beat us. You do loads of running!
 
Well done Lenny! That's fab, the dancing obviously helps.

2500 just from play just dance for 25 minutes. My arm aches though! Broken my 5000 target for the day :)

Did you get out for a lunch time walk today Lenny?

No didnt get out today as boss went out, will have to do extra wii fit tonight.
 
Still plenty time to get on the wii tonight. It's a great substitute when it's dark and miserable

im stopping reading this thread until i get one, its so frustrating lol, i promise not to count the running!
 
Whose idea was the just sweat feature! Oh im dying..........,. Can hardly type. As id been doing the dances for about 30 mins a time I thought I'll do the 25 min sessions, it took me 40 mins, I had to keep pausing it, to drink water or slow my heart rate. I wont be doing that again any time soon............ have past the 5000 mark though. Was only at 1900 when I got home.

Now off to die.............
 
Lenny that's fab! Just sweat is a real work out! I do the 25 minute session within the time but I'm aching by the end.

All night I was aching going 'its all Hales fault' but then I tested my ketones and it went dark red, sooooooooo although it hurt im burning extra fat, so its worth it.
 
Haha I'm happy with it being my fault if it's doing you good!

I'm a bit unsure about T2 ketone etiquette. For me high ketones would be a horrific sign

If your Bg is reasonable then ketones on a low carb diet mean that your burning fat as fuel. Which is what I aim for. :)

Hoping I can start buying the next clothing size down, by the end of Feb would be nice.:cat:
 
Cool, so you'd only be concerned if your BG was say 15 and you had ketones?

Weight loss will be a great excuse to go shopping, because you NEED new clothes ;)

yes, if I had high BG and ketones, I'd prob call NHS direct.

I have been putting off buying any clothes other than what I desperately need, whilst losing weight. But my current jeans are too baggy now. The end of Feb is my birthday, so I'll ask Dad for new clothes. And I have a little money put aside for just this situation. I do find it harder clothes shopping now though as Im at the top end size wise of the every day stores, but I don't want to keep shopping in the plus size shops.

I need a wardrobe make over, like Gok Wan does.
 
Ooooh is love one of them! I've no fashion sense at all :(

8,119 and still going for today!
