You’ve so got all this sorted, workout sounds really good
Felt great in the 4’s, first day in nearly a year (since started meditation) that I haven’t felt sick or dizzy at any point, unfortunately I can’t drive if it’s under 5
New libre was reading 2 whole points higher than meter last night on 1st scans (usually pretty accurate at this stage)
Still no letter from consultant, but video call on 19 May
Going to the gym before work this morning
Enjoy your day

Glad you felt good in the 4s. Shame that you couldn't drive. Is that even if you don't take any sulfonylureas? Just to be on the safe side for possible hypos?
Hope you have a great day. Wet and miserable here.

Yesterday's Activity:
Steps: ~5,000

Ten rounds of the circuit below, no rest during a round until all exercises are complete, then 20 deep breaths and start again, repeat until a total of 10 rounds competed
  • Push up to renegade row x 10
  • Biceps curl x10
  • Overhead press x10
  • Triceps extension x10
  • Squat x10
  • Lunge x10
  • Bent over row x10
  • Standing twist and diagonal press x 10
Added a push up with renegade row to the circuit. Felt much harder doing it 2 days in a row. Enjoyable though, got a real sweat on, felt very hungry after yesterday's exertions, so ate whenever hungry. Really glad I've given up sugar and refined carbs. Everything is nutritious and helps the body recover. Body composition looking really good. Hoping to do an MMA workout on the heavy bag in the garden this afternoon, meetings and weather permitting.

Love the workout, how many times did you eat!, you must be Huels best customer
Rest day today apart from 100 squats, taking mum to hospital yet again so going to work early to get a few hours in, then taking her food shopping after,
Been too busy to go on peleton this week, going to try & make time every work day starting on Monday
Serious case of the munchies last night, I wanted chocolate, couldn’t find my husbands secret stash of Cadbury’s fruit & nut, he was stuck on the M25, 10 miles round trip to the nearest shop, b/s too low to drive & bike tyres needed pumping up (if only my friend a couple of doors down hadn’t moved)
Enjoy your day, it’s nearly the weekend
