Morning troops

Bloods 4.8 fasting and blood ketones 1.2. Dead chuffed. In fact one could say chuffed to smithereens and all that nomsense!

Last day of the fat fast and in the place I want to be. Been pretty brutal to date due to recent carb creep and too much wine. Did you know about the hidden calories in a bottle of wine?Reckon there's at least another 800 that they don't tell you about.

@Merrylizard1314 and I are thinking about doing an exit from the ff. my aim would be to have fasting bloods 4 to 5. Morning blood ketones over 1.5 and continued weight loss at 1 to 2 lobs per week (after the adjustment) estimate to put on circa 40% of weight lost this week. Keep off the wine till end of the month. Keep fat ratio as high as possible but not worry about the cals now. It's been a joy not having to wash up but looking forward to cooking again. Work out best fuel strategy for 53 mile run walk on by August bank hols- want it to be as fat as possible but it's not very transportable friendly. Pork scratching so and bags of peanut butter got me round the marathon in April but as I'll have a backpack with me this time can have other stuff. Thinking tins of anchovies. Might try and freeze some cream cheese so how that hols. Def Mac nuts. If anyone has any suggestion it would be much appreciated.

Final report tomorrow then on the fat fast thread.

Beautiful day down here in saga central and forecast for the weekend is looking good. Unfortunately we are going to cockney land by the sea for the weekend and I've seen far to many of them in the last month or so.

Happy Saturday everyone. A beautifully warm & sunny day in Newcastle. Even managed to get the washing hung out. Little things please. Hopefully the sunshine bodes well for the 1st game of the season at home tomorrow. BG this morning is 5.5 fasting. Still trying to throw off a cold & sore throat. A bright red snoz, chapped lips & a voice as husky as a hooker on 40 Woodbine is SO not a good look! Have a great day folks, whatever it is you're doing. Best wishes & good health. X

@Giverny and @Alisonjane10 (as a matter of courtesy)
I am using the monochrome version as bright colurs are difficult for me to read, yet I am seeing blue text in Alisonjane10's posts. Can this be changed please.

I have the condition Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome which causes visual distress with some text and background colours.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi @Pipp. Those conditions sounds unpleasant. Obviously I don't want to make it difficult for you to read my thread posts. They're ALWAYS awesome, so I wouldn't want you to miss them!!! How odd though, that using the monochrome site version still shows text as blue. I am using blue text, but I'm on the original red website version, as I prefer it & think it "pops." But I don't have visual difficulties, so bright colours are my preference. Hence the use of the blue when I'm responding to a thread. Bright colours just make me feel better. But, just for you, I'm willing to revert back to the plain black text so my posts don't make you boss-eyed. Hope that helps. Best wishes, AJ. X
