Day 28 of 56 (halfway) and I've lost 2 stones so far.
I did something a bit silly yesterday, I pushed myself to the limit by running 16Km (10 miles) on the treadmill in 1hr 40 mins. Not bad for an obese 47 year but got a lot of grief from family over it. Four weeks ago I was steadily jogging/walking for 15 minutes although I did get fit a year ago then stopped training.
Just before lunch my Bg was 4.2 and my blood pressure normal, I've taken myself off all medication (7 items a day, 2 for diabetes, 4 for blood pressure and 1 for cholesterol), another sore point with my family.
I'm not missing food at all and finding the diet quite easy now but will also be pleased when it is over. I expect to finish the diet around 14 stone and intent to eat healthily and wisely afterwards to reach a healthy weight below 12st 6lb. (Ideal weight 11 stone) I'll be happy with 12st 6lb.
I was diagnosed 11 years ago and don't know whether I will be diabetes free after the diet but I intend to keep up the exercise and eat healthily for the rest of my life and not return to the ways of junk food, takeaways and guzzling beer like it's gone out of fashion which got me in this mess.
I've got the blood test for my annual diabetic review coming up next week so aim to make the appointment to see the nurse in week 6 or 7. I did not seek medical advice before starting the diet so it will be interesting to see what she says.
