I've decided to re~name the month of May to Will. May is too wishy washy for me at the moment. After my horrible experience at the doctors in February I have really struggled with everything. I need to get back on track.
So for Will I will

Eat better
Test more
Be more positive
Try to get out of the flat more
Lose weight
Get better numbers
Let anyone who is interested informed on how Will is going

Feel free to add your own Wills

Carry on eating healthier Weigh loss since March 18th. 1st 6lbs.
To show the Doctor and diabetes Nurse I don't want or need their Stations or Metformin.
(Review in June )
Try to tolerate idiot better.
Try hard to keep on track on Holiday next week.
That's the lot for now.lol,
 
I will be myself.
I will be the person I know I am deep down.
I will be different because I am different.
 
Thanks Zand & Opal. We will all be feeling so much better in 31 days, whether physically or mentally or both.
Just to let you know what a "normal" day looks like for me, this is yesterdays facts & figures.

Up at 9.30 BM 6.8 Cappuccino
11am Cappuccino
1 2.30 Cappuccino
Breakfast 2.30 BM 6.0 (yoghurt, nuts, dried fruit, same every day)
Lunch 5pm BM 6.3 (meats, cheese, salad, same every day)
Dinner 9.45 BM 5.1 chicken, bacon & mushrooms in white sauce with mung bean noodles.
11.45 BM 7.5
Before bed 1.45 BM 4.0
Brekkie & lunch always the same, dinner is whatever OH cooks with lower carb alternative for me, (he's a real carb fiend sigh)
Odd timings for meals as he doesn't get home til 9pm & I can't eat early in mornings.
Total carbs about 108 ~ higher than usual but noodles are 45 carbs per 50grms but they don't spike me too badly.
Didn't manage to get out yesterday but will try today as Fridays is OHs day off.

Hoped I've not totally bored you all to sleep now lol
Have a great day

Not boring at all. It's good to have progress reports. Not sure how I will manage to quantify mine though!
 
"Tolerate idiots better"

Haha that really made me laugh, I think I will steal that "will" from you if I may!

I will accept I am not perfect and will stop driving myself into the ground trying to be.

I will choose foods that are good for me, stop comfort eating and find a healthier way to "treat" myself.

Remind myself daily of the serenity prayer "God grant me the ability to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference" sorry if words aren't quite correct.

I will move more.
 
I will laugh at your post "month of Will" which month is "Won't" and "not on your Nellie"
 
I'm guessing December for most of us lol !!!

Ps. Andrew you have done so well with your weight and bgs, any tips for a newby? :)
 
Delegate more
Catch up with my bonsai trees - lots of them need work
cut back on the booze

I won't tolerate idiots better, I may bite my tongue more though
 
Friday was good. Managed to get out~spent an hour pootling round Aldi. I live the high life lol. Went round friends for a meal last night & indulged in a Morgans or two lol.
Hope you all had a good weekend

Naughty girl you have gone from positive to negative in one weekend. I have my beady eye on you. We may be able to keep us all on track. Reporting in. Its like New Years resolutions come late.

Ahh but to my thinking "won't" can be as positive as "will". I won't get stressed over my hypos, I won't eat because I'm bored, I won't panic so much at the thought of going into the city (Kat!!). Rather than I won't eat properly etc.
All is in the eye of the beholder!!

Figures so far this month aren't looking too bad. Highest was 7.8 1 hr after KFC, (not something I usually eat, but was round a friends), lowest 3.1 (really can't understand that figure as I'd had Indian pix & mix, sticky ribs & sweet chili sauce for tea).
Been out of flat 3 times, twice on own!!
How's your "Will" going so far?

I am particularly impressed with this one! Well done.

As for me I am being true to myself a lot more. This is already causing ripples in one or two relationships, but then I knew it would.

I am looking forward to a I will meet up.in June !!!!!! :cat::cat::cat:x
 
Ok....

I will try to be more understanding of other points of view.

I will walk away more (from the fridge, the pantry and stuff that will do me no good!)

I will not (cheated there, see that?) beat myself up when I fall flat on my good intentioned face!

I will realise that I have the the tools and the knowledge so I had better **** well use them!

Good luck to us all :D
 
Well we are half way through Will. Hit a bit of a blip last weekend. My OH was beaten up by his psycho neighbour, her brother & friends. Tied to his bed, beaten up & had his flat trashed. So spent this week dealing with police, council housing officer, cleaning his flat up, (they put gravy granules, mayo, piri piri sauce, diet coke everywhere, & I mean everywhere~ floor, walls, ceilings, sofa, curtains, in wardrobes over all our clothes), packing his flat up & moving his stuff into mine. Bearing in mind I only have a baby sports car & 6 teaspoons fills the boot!! So been eating **** on the go but been so stressed bloods are constantly low, been eating glucotabs like they are going out of fashion! Pulled muscle in my back & calf. Totally knackered.
However, lets look for the silver linings! We are now "living together" which we have been planning for a while, but wanted a suitable place first. My place is too far away for him to bike to work so I'll have to drive him there & back, but that means I'll get out of the flat at least 5 days a week. My average blood this week is looking really good (2.5 hypo not so good!)
I know you arn't really interested in all my woes but it's been quite cathartic typing this out. (no~one in real life to talk to you see).

Well that is my half of Will~how's your going?
