[QUOTE="AGC_68, post: 2479853, member: 551237"] Hey there Debbie .. glad you enjoyed the workout! I hope Covid isn't running you down too much. It is a sneaky sneaky virus! Always gets you feeling tired out by the end of the day. Rest plenty. Yes, I really enjoyed the jujitsu class. First class in a few years for a whole host of reasons, Covid included. I'm in a new town and had to find a new place to train. It was good to get back in the groove. I think I surprised them with my strength and speed for an old man! LOL They all wanted a piece of the new guy! Expended a lot of energy, glad I did an easy workout that lunchtime, especially on the legs. I think I need to lose about 1/2 a stone more to really get the into the non-diabetic BG Levels and have some wiggle room and flexibility. It is taking a while, but the progress is in the right direction BG levels were much better when I was on the 800 a day restriction just due to the low energy intake. But I can't go that low again for a while. Body composition is still changing a lot. I just need to be a bit more patient and take it a day at a time. I'll start the new clothes shopping once another 6 lbs have gone. Hopefully I'll be more metabolically flexible by then. This older body just doesn't want to allow me to get away with as much adipose tissue as it used to. I am beginning to lose fat cells at this age and I need to make the ones I have left smaller so that I can have some storage buffer for excess calories. The set point has really changed. I skipped breakfast this morning and my FBG is actually higher as a consequence. I'll test a couple of hours after lunch and see how it looks. Most annoying .. but what can you do? I think perhaps morning fasts are not good me at this stage. Will not skip breakfast or eat late anymore (good intentions .. let's see LOL). Have a great day Debbie .. don't overdo it, also remember that a fever and infections can raise you BGs from time to time throughout the day, so try not to worry about the rises here and there while you get over the cove. My stats: [B]FBG: [/B]6.5 (!!) B: Huel Black - Vanilla L: Ryvita crackers , Brie and extra mature Cheddar, Greek Yoghurt, berry, nuts and choc protein powder pudding D: Huel Black - Chocolate, Pudding: more of my yoghurt protein powder, berry, nut pudding thing with choc and cream [B]Daily Totals[/B] Calories 1622 Fat 76.2 g Carbs 73.3 g Protein 143.4 g Fiber 20 g [B]Daily Calorie Composition: [/B]19% from carbs, 44% from fat and 37% from protein. Steps: ~8000 Workout: 10 mins shadow boxing 4 x 25 press ups (feet up on couch, hands on kettlebells, done nice and controlled, good pause and stretch for the pecs at the bottom) 4 x 25 bent over rows with 32 kg bell) using my ergonomic grip handles that arrived last week!) 4 x 6 biceps curls with 32 kg bell (those handles are great!) 1 x 300 bodyweight squats (nice large set, surprisingly good muscle builder but good bit of cardio too) 4 x 25 dead bugs static stretching to finish [/QUOTE]
