I may go back to it - since I know my coffee is zero carb it isn’t overall adding to the problem but may be affecting my biology/ chemistry. I’m just going to see what happens if I take it away for a day or two.I couldn't ditch the coffee rhubarb...never...just reading your post brought me out in a cold sweat
Mindfulness? I’d recommend Headspace it’s got lots of short - a few mins- meds. Once you’ve got the basics you can use targeted sessions I use his end of the day session everyday as well as various other stress busting ones as needed during the day. I can bring my bloods down a notch now when they go up with stress but you do need to do it regularly for it to be effective. If you are one of those people like me who despite what they have eaten ie very low carb - finds stress puts bg up it really is effective well it works for me take care7.3 at 08.00. Disaster for me. I had small ramekin of KP nuts after supper of chilli and brocolli. Think chilli portion was bigger than usual too. BUT I am getting very stressed especially at night when my mind is on overdrive so I need to address that too.
Welcome back @gvigary! It sounds like you are already back on track. 8 kg lost in 6 weeks and readings in the 4-5s is excellent!Morning all, returning member from about 6 years ago. Been distracted from looking after myself but trying to get back on track. Can't promise I'll post often, but need somewhere to celebrate my successes and confess my failings with those who understand.
Recently started LC and have lost 8kg in 6 weeks (only 30kg to go), and sugar levels seem much better too (never knew meters went down to the 4s!). However, I go on holiday to the USA tomorrow so could undo it all!
Today's FBG: 5.3
6.7 today. After discovering yesterday that whatever pushes up my numbers over the course of the morning doesn’t happen at the weekends today I will be experimenting with no coffee. I hope it works because losing the caffeine hit will be challenging.
Hope drive goes well thinking of you hate those long drives but worth it to be with the family enjoy5.3 this morning.
Just packing up the car for the long drive down to Cornwall for a few weeks to see daughters number 1 and 3 and my 2 grandchildren.
Thanks Shelley so much. I will look into Headspace for sure. Yesterday was the second anniversary of my friends suicide and today is my estranged fathers birhday, always difficult days. Plus we are putting our house on the market and that is an experience I loathe.Mindfulness? I’d recommend Headspace it’s got lots of short - a few mins- meds.
