Hope your FBG has come down this morning,
If the statins work for chlosteral you need to keep taking them, hopefully it’ll soon settle back down
We’re trying hello fresh this week, just to try & eat something different
Now on a 10 day course of Pencillin, not sure if it’ll have any affect on b/s but sore throat is being very persistent
Upper body day in gym this morning, trainer will be there training himself so I’ve no excuses
Long day at work today to make up for skiving yesterday afternoon
Have a good day
 
Hope that penicillin sorts out your throat. Enjoy the gym session.
I wonder what the hello fresh box will bring today! :happy:

Sorry FBG is up again
Can’t believe you had a piece of toast, hope you enjoyed it, hot buttered toast is my downfall, I can get away with a slice in the morning though
Looking how much exercise I did yesterday I can see why I’ve had an extra hour in bed this morning & not going swimming
Dog walk with friend in the sunshine before work this morning (she’s leaving this weekend) house sale not yet completed so she’ll probably be back at weekends, last day at work today before 4 days off
Hello fresh
chicken & mushroom hotpot
Herby meatballs, linguine & rocket salad(mung bean fettuccine for me)
Caramelised onion sausage traybake (going to tweak this as well)
Have a good day

I can see why you're getting the results that you are.

Thanks .. yeah loved the outside workout.
Have the kiddo this week until Friday so probably no daytime workout for me this week. Unless she gets engrossed in her artwork or something. But that is cool.
Lovely weather here too, had a lovely walk in the park with my daughter and and some crazy golf.
Battered cod was lovely, better without the chips!
Might go to the cinema today .. or maybe into town to do some mooching around with daughter.
Have a lovey day!
