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

Fantastic BG levels yesterday! So glad that they didn't go crazy high, even after the intense workout in the AM.
 
Wow, well done for the workout
3 meals the same yesterday, very boring, but maybe not as boring as your report
Try & eat some proper food today
Take care

I think it'll take another week for the mouth to heal fully. I did get some flavourings to put in the huel which are actually making it taste pretty good. I bought some little bottles of essences, I've got Almond, Orange, Banana, I use a different one each time. Add a tablespoon of PB and some vanilla essence and cocoa powder too and it is actually very tasty. I want this to be my last weekend without proper food though .. want to be able to eat out with my daughter at the weekends. It's that flippin' lunar crater left by the sideways growing wisdom tooth that is taking time to heal and is causing the pain when opening the mouth wide. But getting better everyday

There is no rescuing that document from its tedium though. Frighteningly, some of the recipients will probably enjoy reading it
 
I can hear the next door neighbours new baby making it's presence felt today! I gave them a little care package yesterday, some baby grows, a big pack of nappies and a big box of Lindor chocolate balls to keep mum and dad fuelled for the next few days. Man I used to love those Lindt choccies!

Kind of you to take care package round to your neighbour, hope the baby isn’t keeping you awake at night, I can remember those days, had one that cried incessantly & one that rarely cried
Home barbell workout this morning, not driving 10 miles to the gym (4 miles to main road) lots of trees down round here,

Winds are still sounding very ominous here today. The neighbours baby is very good. Seems to behave just like my daughter did when she was born. She had a "Feed me, clean me, clothe and let me sleep, and I'll stop crying and I'll let you sleep too. Fail to wake up when I do and serve me when I'm demanding food or a nappy change and I'll make you sorry!!" attitude. It worked really well LOL. She stayed a good sleeper as she grew up, wanted cuddles and strokes to get off to sleep at night but once she went off to sleep she stayed that way until the morning. Can't complain at that

Defo a good idea to workout at home today. Stay home and stay safe. Can the house move not wait another day?

Mouth better than yesterday .. another week to go to get 100% No stitches as the teeth extracted were already fully erupted. So huge open craters in the gums .. the one from the extracted shattered molar is healing well, the one from the extracted wisdom tooth next to it is not healing so fast as it left a much bigger crater. But I think I'll be able to manage a Vietnamese soup tomorrow. Decent sized morsels of solid food are going to take a while.
 
Good morning
Great FBG
You have more willpower than me eating all those protein shakes, is it all with almond milk?
Must work if you can do all that exercise (just had to Google gorilla rows)
Barbell workout completed by 7.30am this morning & treadmill has been delivered
Sons friend has bought a house near him & had to move today (only moving round the corner), I’m not complaining I’m having a day off
You were lucky having such a laid back daughter, always used to say I’ve got a stressy Bessy & a laid back Larry, still true today
 
Excellent! Have fun with the treadmill
Mix of almond milk and water .. the Huel is pretty good nutritionally.
Enjoy your day off.

My daughter is still the same .. she's a very energetic and humorous kid but very laid back too. Same daft sense of humour as me .. drives her mum mad at times LOL.

Have a great weekend!

It's blowing like crazy out here!

Good morning
Hope the wind has died down where you are
Our neighbour had atree down yesterday afternoon, took 7 of us & 4 chainsaws over an hour to clear the road , not fun in gale force winds & fading light
Treadmill is really good, Saturday is my day off from exercise so just walking with friend this morning, but will walk on treadmill later
Hope you have a lovely weekend with your daughter
 
FBG up this morning as no medication yesterday
If I lift weights first thing at home & shower after seem to have better control, I’ll try running on the treadmill first thing tomorrow see if that works
 
WOW!!!!
Nice job though clearing it! Very helpful for eeryone. People are more collaborative where you are I think.
Neighbours on my road are nice but in general people are a little selfish. I had to clear blown wheelie bins off the main road to prevent accidents yesterday, nearly witnessed one as an artic swerved onto wrong side of road to avoid a wheelie bin blown into it's path. Other cars slowed down and drove around it! I mean.. come on!!! So I stopped and moved the bins off the road behind a wall so they won't blow out again and people are honking their horns at me to get a move on LOL That's the cities for you eh?
