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

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Hia, not too bad I really must not grumble!! How Debbie keeps up with the exercise when feeling pants I will never know. I have been exercising again, just had a few issues with tennis elbow so unable to lift at certain angles. It’s getting better, but I couldn't go on the spin bike also due to the angle of the handlebars. Back to it now though so I am seeing and feeling the benefits again. Thanks for asking by the way. How are things with you?

I’ve had to cut back on the exercise, as long as I get 3 good workouts in I’m happy for now, don’t cough while exercising
You’re doing great Laine, we can only do what we can, probably a lot more than most people

Well said mate. That's what makes you so motivating. When I think I might take it easy I remember your posts and think, you know what? I can definitely get some good activity in today .. just like that nutter Debbie who's doing more than me with 1 and 3/4 lungs at the moment!

You're welcome mate .. good to see you back. Sorry to hear of your travails, really glad it's getting better.
Things are OK thank you. Always some stuff to deal with with an elderly parent and a kid with ASD but some things are heading in the right direction. A long way to go but there's no giving up ... keeping things moving forward as much as possible

No, I just want crusty bread, preferably warm with lots of butter

There is always stuff to deal with and having an elderly parent and a kid with needs keeps us on our toes! Looking back I wonder how I survived but I/we did, if not a bit battered and bruised in the process! It will get better x

It was yummy

At least you are still getting the workouts and that you don't cough whilst in the the throws, how bizarre is that though. When I had a bad chest I would take myself down to the coast and run along the beach it did help so there must be logic behind it. Maybe it loosens the chest muscles and lack of tension perhaps. Back in the 90s I lived near the coast and it worked wonders for my health and mentally too. Thanks for the encouragement it really helps

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

It was yummy

So pleased you enjoyed it!!!

Stopping all the running might have the same effect
