Hard fast today - not sure why - very busy so didn't get much opportunity to drink water, maybe that's why I've got a bad headache.
Anyway I made it. Home is a bit more zen this week, work is not!
but only two more days left of it...
Hope you've all had a gear day x

FBG was 5.9 this morning so I'm happy to be back in fives (even if it is 'just')!!!
On a training course til 12 this morning which will be good as I won't be dealing with any needy kids!
I wonder if my FBG will ever be in the fours....?!

Scales say I've lost a total of 2kg since starting IF two weeks ago which I guess isn't too bad considering I'd really slowed down with weightloss.
Bg is a bit scary though - 6.8 just now - still to break the fast and was expecting a reading in the fives
So now fasting is well under way, I need to focus on stress reduction before I add to the statistics of fat people and heart attacks with low carbing
Onwards and upwards xxx

Exercise has gone to pot this week thanks to work being crazy and having to much to do. Had an interesting day playing politics - I really don't have the patience for it at the mo so trying to avoid getting involved....
And so fast 9 has begun...,,

Day 9 fast.
FBG 6.9
. Don't know why unless working till 11pm on reports has anything to do with it as I did not stray from the path of righteousness....
I'm exhausted! X

Well done on getting through it
Have you ever considered a supplement boost to give you that natural energy boost and set you up for the day?
I just use 10g of NuZest's, Good Green a Stuff (I not an affiliate
), boy it sets me up and helps keep me energised all day long Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Debs, I would say the last sentence in your post is a big signpost.

Today I woke properly at 10am!!!! . I've NEVER been able to carry on sleeping that late so clearly I was shattered. Disappointing thing is that out of 11 hours in bed (although I did have to get up twice with cramp to walk about), that only 1.5hrs of it was deep sleep. It's very interesting.
Yesterday at work was terrible. I got grief from head and business manager for doing things at the last minute - totally not my fault and certainly not the way I would work if I was the decision maker in the process! Could have done without that critique but made it clear I was at the bottom rung and nothing to do with me....(and it offended me more because I had to take two hours out my family time in order to get the stuff organised).
Then Thursday I was asked to provide info for 12 kids' reports by the teacher the night before her deadline!!! So I was up late doing that - probably about four hours of personal time.
I'm starting to feel a bit resentful at how much I take on at work. I love my job (mostly) and the kids motivate me, but it's not a walk in the park that some of the other support staff get away with! I'm desperate to find out where I'll be placed next year - I'm hoping I'll go down a couple of years but something tells me I'm going up to yr 6
.
Anyway. Went to harvester for dinner last night as so tired and it gets us out. Had ribs with a bit of Daniels sauce on side and sweet potato fries. Had a bite of a bread roll and a spoon of ice cream but otherwise was good. I really enjoyed it and hopefully haven't eaten enough carbs to throw me off ketosis (had salad stuff too but kept it low).
So FBG at 10.15 this morning was 6.7 - still too bloody high. Really must get to hospital for next hba1c. A good result with that will give me a boost and motivate me through summer holidays.....
Hope you all have a good weekend x

Fast 11 was really good. Work was crazy so I was glad not to have to make time to eat.
FBG today was 5.8. Not a great night's sleep but looks like FBG is getting more steady - three days in a row of 5s!
My body is broken though. Forearms hurt, right knee feels like it'll pop if o squat down, and I think I've pulled a muscle in my hip (think at swimming). Could use a nice massage. Feeling old today! X

Fast 12 today. FBG 5.8. Five days in a row of 5s - very pleased with that.
Just hopped on scales. Another kilo off!!! So that's 4kg in less than a month.
Oh and evil scales has taken another year of my fitness age so I'm now only 8 years too old

Back up to 6.4 today after an emergency kebab (didn't finish it) and the emergency small bottle of prosecco. I thought it may be higher!
Also very little sleep as I was listening to Brexit results.
