Ok been really off the wagon for most of the week , ate a whole apple pie (over 3days) had fish and chips 3 times since Monday. ...
Haven't checked my bs but I know how I feel and my symptoms say its higher than it should be. I have put 2lb so my BMI is 26 , my weight it 11 st 12lb .
So as of today Im back at it.
Im going to exercise 30 mins a day and reduce my carbs again.

Feeling more in control today , 30mins (6K) on exercise bike this morning .
Breakfast blue berries, raspberries , , frommage frais and a dessert spoon on grain muesli ( I like the crunch)
I'm aunty sitting this afternoon so we are going out for lunch , I will behave. Good start today though.

Day 1 over , had half a packet of crisps for supper, haven't had crisps for ages but at least it was only half a packet. Haven't had horrible hot sweaty feeling so that's good.To be honest that is the thing about diabetes that I hate.

Thank you. You are motivating me to try again too. Just had pasty and chips. So I will start again tomorrow. Yes that horrid hot sweaty feeling is the worst thing for me too.
 
We can support each other zand.
I was really good today , usual frommage frais and blue berries for breakfast , salad for lunch , rich tea with my afternoon cuppa .
Had small amount of pasta with a lot of sauce and some salad at tea time ..then... for some reason I had to have chocolate , 2bars of aldi dark chocolate with orange and almonds, they are only small , also had a peppermint cream at 8.30. Well I suppose I was good for most of the day I ll not beat myself up this time and think about the positives
