Good food choices all day then boredom binging in the evening..
Only me to blame..

hugs for the disapointment. food boredom binge snacking in the evening what are you eating? perhaps something like a few nuts could keep mouth occupied which are generally relatively low on carbs might be better choice for snacking or hopefully you'll find something to lesson the boredom perhaps find a genre of book enjoy or if starting to feel geting bored go for a short walk or do house chores in the evening (if currently do them in the morning)

My confession would be the last so called "night cap" before bed. Everyone I know seems to think that a glass of Baileys or cheaper supermarket equivalent is a sociable and pleasant way to finish off an evening. There are times when I succumb to the "go on, one glass of Baileys won't hurt" and I know I shouldn't but often my resolve fails me late night. Sadly "one glass" does hurt when it comes to BS as proved by last nights example, the one glass was actually two and my morning BS 7.8 after a less than 50g food carbs all day. Need to say a few Hail Marys today and I am not even catholic.
 
Kinda scared….6.9 today, what the heck is going on! So…I’m fasting and won’t eat anything until supper, a 24 hour fast. Then back to zero carbs…I’m so annoyed.
Rainy today and cold….they did predict flurries last night but it didn’t happen, thank goodness. Gym was upper body and a walk, then I did a bit of shopping …..seriously how can the prices go up every week, it’s insane.
 
libre: 5.1 pee sample handing in just finally got around to it. appt in a couple of hours so breakfast then a wee walk raining a little bit at the moment which is expected to continue for majority of the day tomorrow is supposed to have some sunny intervals

Morning All still checking FBG every day and it has been between late 7s and early 8s. Today 8.0 just to prove the point. Am trying to keep carbs around 30g a day but not always easy. Well done everyone here.

Please let us know, I've reduced my carbs and I can definitely see a drop in numbers.
