Hi @DJC3
Did read somewhere that there's a school if thinking the body has its own defense mechanism to stop us damaging it..and beyond a certain point it rebels and fights to refuse to let us lose weight beyond that set metabolic limit.
I suppose it's highly likely it has others mechanisms to stop us in other matrixes.
Mmh . Worrying to think inside each of us is / might be our own 'HAL' from 2001 a space Odyssey...
I wasn't offended at all I knew what you meant...it was a decent number in view of what I ate...speaking of eating I've just ate the last mini pork pieJust realised my post read the wrong way - I didn’t mean it was a surprising fbg as you are usually higher - I meant it was surprisingly good considering pork pies etc. Hope I didn’t give offence, it sounds quite patronising now I’ve read it back but that really wasn’t how it sounded in my head!
My fbg is also rising atm and seems to go through these cycles, although never usually quite this high. Like you I’m trying not to dwell and hope it’ll all be alright soon.
Early to bed early to rise, that's me Saskia, it must be half past way too late where you are.
The voice of reason has returned. Glad your fbg seems to be returning to your normal.good evening all
was 4.5 this morning
late posting because I was running a bit late this morning and on my way out volunteering for the day. It turned into a really pleasant day but now it's started to rain which will be a relief for the plants I think
Hope your day has been a good one
FBG 6.9 high for me these days. Schedule completely shot bc of being on vacation. That's my excuse!
Ugh @gennepher many hugs for your situation. Bureaucracy is the pits. Also poor kitty! If your avatar is your cat, I have to tell you! I had a black cat named Jenny until a couple of years ago. At least half Siamese. Neurotic, huge vocabulary, could cuss you out in 4 languages...
@PenguinMum too-- I'm on app on iphone and subscribe isn't one of my choicesjust going to have to remember where it is. Usually I am automatically taken to "last post read" in a thread I've posted in. Tags? I see no tags... World Penguin Day eh! Love it!
And re your Ploughman's eating only cheese, I remember an occasion in a UK airport in 1994 when I was avoiding white bread (as always actually) and had to buy the whole tuna sub to get the tuna salad, and they were being made to order, so really they could have wrapped a blob of tuna, right?
@ianpspurs oh man yess I like your thinking on the stress thing, and the relation of body composition to what happens how when. I don't have the free brain space atm for your kind of self-experiment (or whatever we'd call it). I am behind you in LC by (?)years? and IF through lunch still helps, some days tremendously. But numbers still All Over the map, and since all I do is keep a general idea of circumstances in my head, I'm more or less flailing in the dark. As to LC being village shop, I agree and disagree. You've seen me declare delicious stuff you wouldn't feed your chooks, and I admit I'm a nuts and seeds lover. My range of taste is Middle American... so a much lower bar than yours! Fruit, however.... I'm sad about fruit....and all-vegetables-all-the-time.
@OrsonKartt I still have the touring bike I bought in 1973! I also love mine. Haven't ridden in some years; too many arthritic hip/hip replacements spread too far apart. All better now, must get new tires and brake pads and ride!
@DJC3 how cool to find long ago friends like that!
@goacher how frustrating! I'd agree on the "perma cold". Have you seen a dr about it....?
@Bubbsie my son's spandex biking shorts just sprang regrettably to mind-- they had a gel crotch liner. May still be available? And, where I come from "nix" is frome the Yiddish frome the German "nichts", meaning...."nothing". Bet it's the same derivation. Or is this a specifically current T May ref?
@Pipp years ago I read something that made reference to some science about just smelling sweet stuff sending your system out of whack. You were breathing sugar for real! I have to have a piece of 90% choc in my mouth to bake sugar sweets safely!
@OrsonKartt here "to chivy" means to harass or pester into doing a thing.
@Debandez wow for Telegraph-- this is on top of the Guardian, was it? (sorry, can't keep track of your newspapers...)
@jjraak oh my gosh I had inner hysterics reading your fractured Two Towers version. Did Smeagol and Gollum try to talk each other out of it first?
Thanks @HarrisonK I use this only on my phone, never use computer, nor my alerts, etc etc, so I have to use my head to remember where I am. I think I've got it!
Memo to self: stop looking in mirror while dressing. It's depressing for the opposite reason it used to be! I never knew the belly could be wrinkled!!!When I was 42 I lost this much weight on low cal low fat, as one did, and swore to myself it was going to be the

Now seeing non-elastic in spades,,,,, yuk!
I got a wife for that job cos I don't like catsHi.
My cat is very bossy and bosses me around!
>^..^<
I get the feeling there is truth in that as well. Sort of taken me a few years to come to that almost conclusion.Oh blimey! That is a scary thought.
Think there is a sort of truth in it though.
Aww...poor KittenCat.@PenguinMum haha what came into my mind was May Queen.
@gennepher my KittenCat says to tell your cat that she doesn't like thunderstorms either; her go-to is the closet to hide it out.
@Bubbsie and @Bildad I just learned that they make fleece seat savers for bicycles like the ones they make for horse saddles.
Hi.
Thank you.
The hugs are welcomed x
My cat is very bossy and bosses me around!
>^..^<
Its a horrible feeling isnt it jjraakhad my first wobble since DX
you know that dodgy feeling.. the false hypo.
tonight i felt it again for the first time in months.
had nuts for breakfast and skipped lunch
felt 'rough' 'clammy' 'drained'.
got home ok, reading was 4,7 lowest in a long time, if not ever.
seems like MY inner Hal doesn't like not to be fed
at its regular times...
Oh wow @Goacher55 how frustrating!!! Your inner arms must look like hamburger! Not to mention, ouch!
@ianpspurs and @DJC3 this sounds like exactly what @Listlad was talking about in another thread several weeks ago, albeit for different reasons. Every body is different, so I guess we're safe if we assume nothing and expect anything. Complicated doesn't begin to describe it.
@PenguinMum I'm on vacation! I can do my equivalent of nothing/"wasting" time! I can spend hours chatting with friends! We don't "do" things on vacation. We come to this house and stay put and either work or relax. Walks and groceries is the farthest we get except an annual summer family sail to an island for a picnic that's been going on for generations.
My fruit bowls are dumping grounds. One had a cat in it once. One of them actually has bananas and avocados in it but the rest? I clean out each time we move.
Hi Saskia
How are you and the KC today? The lovely spring weather here has been replaced by more typical April showers, wind and cool nights. Hope you are cosy.
Hello peeps well by lunch time my stabby thing gave me 2 readings 4.6 and 5.4. Same drop of blood, sane testing strips pot, bizarre anyhow I digress, just been to my GP for my interim bloods.. I’m always awkward for getting blood out of me but 2 blood remover people, 3 attempts each . No blood so I’m rebooked in next Monday.
Yes that seems to be the extent of it - assume nothing.
I love the thought of a cat in the fruit bowl! Cats are so odd, I bet there were comfy cushions and sunny windowsills it could have sat on but it chose a fruit bowl.
