Fasting Blood Sugar this morning + yesterday's food AND physical activity

66 in one go is bloody great .. I have to admit that once I get past 40 burpees I just get bored! 25 at a time mixed in with other exercises keeps it fresh and fast for me.
Some people are into pretty crazy burpee workouts where they do 100s of them kind of at medium pace with good from. But I don't see how they don't get bored of the repetition!
Yes .. I found after intense cardio workouts made my lungs felt much better after covid, seemed to reduce the inflammation and really help.
Your FBGs are doing great. So cool!
Mine are hard to get in the 5s in the mornings since starting on statins. I probably need to make some adjustments, have my final meal a lot earlier and be really strict about the snacking after the final meal now!

ON the peanut butter front .. I'll be honest .. the teaspoons are a bit heaped! LOL I know exactly what you mean about the PB and the walnuts. I could eat tons of them .. but I keep it under control now since the T2 diagnosis. That Meridian nothing added crunchy peanut butter is just too tasty!!

Have a great day!

Hey there .. having a good weekend thanks.
I'm doing OK with the statins, definite raise in FBG in the mornings though.
I may get some Libre sensors to see what is happening over a 24 hour period for a couple of weeks. My cholesterol levels are on the high side, have a family history to consider too, so I think I do need to take them. I may need to dial down my protein a little, as any protein in excess to building does get turned into glucose, so maybe I should try erring on the lower side and see what happens. I would turn down the statins if my cholesterol levels where good.

Good luck with the treadmill. Look forward to hearing about it.

I'm going to get in a kettlebell and bodyweight workout, then off out to do some food shopping, nice long walk with an audiobook.

Have a great weekend

 

That was a great workout by the way Debbie! Weights for resistance training and kettlebells for the cardio. The PT will be happy

 

What news on the treadmill hunt?

 

OMG!! How annoying is that? 5 people all useless. in their own way! Sometimes we forget just how much hard work it is dealing with people
I hope some of the remaining 4 get back to you tomorrow

Knee is much better .. not 100%, but can do 300 squats without any pain. So very happy about that
The pub lunch sounds good. I agree, need to keep it real on social occasions and enjoy the same food as everyone else.

Loving your workout from yesterday, deadlifts and swings.. nice, simple, effective full body workout.
I think I'll go for something similar to that myself today.

Yorkshire puddings .. delish! When I was a lecturer at a big uni many decades ago, the staff canteen used to serve Mexican chilli in a huge Yorkshire pudding bowl, MASSIVE! I don't know who came up with that idea, but GENIUS!!!!!!

Good luck with the treadmill hunt .. you're right something will turn up. Not tempted by the Peleton treadmill?

Weekend was good thanks, caught up with some friends and got plenty of rest and exercise. Meant to do some French lessons but wasn't in the mood. Might do some today after work, if the afternoon at work isn't too intense. You never know how some meetings are going to go!!
I'm going to sneak in a good, simple KB workout at lunchtime though!

 

WOW!! That's just fate! Excellent!! Get that treadmill!!

 

LOL ... awesome!!

 

Now go and buy a lottery ticket .. one for me too. I'm good for it! Honest LOL
