hi all
Thakns for posting ernie100 at least you now recognise what you need to do to resolve your slightly high bg's a short spell back on the diet will kick start you.
I had a 4.6 this morning which linked to a 4.9 yday morninig im happy with it is now even more obvious to me that exercise is crucial my bgs crept up every so slightly over last couple of weeks as i hadnt been able to get to gym as much as i was. Benn back at it properly this week and the results speak for themselves.
Hills exercise from what i can see plays an integral part in the regime, a short walk or any form of exercise is a bonus, remember every journey starts with the first step, i know its a cliche but its very true, dont set your bar too high as that is sure to lead to dissappointment, set achievable goals, then once you attain them, reset the goal, make it challenging but not impossible, dont expect to look like arnold after a month, maybe a month and a half lol.
I reached the big four O two years ago and i made a pact with my self to do something every year till im 50, im looking at the yourkshire three peaks this year, did the national last year, but a big achievement i have forgotten about is this diet, completing it is an achievement in itself.
If i can give any tips is when your on the diet, look on how you will adapt your diet when your finished the diet, low carb appears to be the way forward and there are plenty of posts that can help you iut.
Good luck all keep it going and i tell you what you feel bloody great at the end, finally getting back to my old self, none of the mood swings, anger, frustration, low self esteem, depression.
