Walking back to Happiness

Loving all the water sounds! It looks like spring in yours Violetsniff though I’m sure it didn’t feel like it. And I’d love to be near the sea , looks beautiful. Was brought up in St Andrews so spent many happy hours on the beaches there. Escaped to the coast briefly in august and again in September (Norfolk and Suffolk), can’t wait to get back once things have eased enough. 
 you were ahead of me this morning, I did a zoom workout at 9.30 for an hour. Dog walk soonish. 
WhatHappened good to see you here and that’s a great start, cutting out the sweets! I don’t miss them now but was never a ‘one toffee’ kind of person, had to be the whole packet, same with a bar of chocolate. Amazing how the craving really does go, now I’m happy with a couple of squares of dark chocolate which I believe is beneficial anyway? Hope so! Have a good day all, HFxx

Lovely pics and vids on here. Well done WhatHappened on starting to tackle the blood sugars. Hi .... looks as though you’re well into the swing of things. 

Joe Wicks hiit done this morning. Yet to get back into Adriene yoga.  Haven’t been on a walk yet. Continuing to calorie count. Will top up exercise hooping/Wii.

Did my ‘mile’ stomping and some stretches and yoga, that’s my half hour of exercise done. And I’ve lost weight, but some of that is probably worry! 

Lovely photos, everyone!

Done local 2 mile with Dexter ....this week going to make sure walk on morning and wii machine steps on the afternoon need xmas weight off and sugars most prob too high . My type 2 responds well to exercise . 

Also don't want to fall into shielding hole . Letter yesterday say fully shielded again until at least 21/2 ....in March another two months was added can see the same happening . 

Misty murky dog walk today but it did blow the cobwebs away. Found a dash of greenery by the river. Thibk it’s another damp day tomorrow, hopefully some blue skies at the end of the week. Love to all, HFxx

Just been for my pre op assessment which I was dreading. I'm fat, got asthma and apparently high blood pressure too now - but on a positive note.... I've lost 2 kilo's since the 4th!  

Have done 40 minutes power walking this morning, just having a rest then going to do some housework and another power walk - got to get that blood pressure down for the 26th!

Well done everyone who has lost some unneeded weight...a lovely feeling I am sure!(I gave up wine 2 years ago and lost about 3/4 stone over the time since.)

Now my sister has a go about my eating choc or ice cream but (maybe I shouldn’t say this)but It is nice to have a little reward or treat.Life is pretty grim sometimes.But I must make my reward or treat non-fattening I am sure I will......

Also WhatHappened...so lovely to hear from you again!And a GOLD STAR for tackling your blood sugar issues.You Go Girl...you can do it !!!xxx

Well done re the weight loss ! Great start, and in such a short time. I’m just about to take the dog out in this never ending rain. Thibk it might be a very short walk, will see how we both feel by the end of the road! And Violetsniff we all need a wee treat. I have ditched the treats I know I can’t control but still have dark chocolate most days and the occasional vegan ice cream. And I make scones once a week or so. Wholemeal flour and only sultanas for sweetness, can’t see much harm in them! Will definitely need something nice after what is going to be a very wet walk... HFxx

Congratulations on your weight loss. Have you had high  blood pressure readings before? The reason I ask is that given all the worry you have at the moment this may be raising your blood pressure. Also I have 
"white coat syndrome" ,when I take my blood pressure at home it is way down from any " official readings"and is now part of my medical records. I now monitor it at home and pre-op made daily recordings for the anaesthetist. Just a thought that you may be the same. Sending hugs and well done in your efforts to lose weight and hopefully bring down your blood pressure. xx

Congratulations on the weight loss, ! I too have lost some but it’s mostly worry over hubs who is in hospital right now (has been steadily poisoned by his blood pressure medication by the GP who didn’t check his many diabetic check blood results which showed poor kidney results, attributable to Losartan which he’s off now, and most likely Metformin too) 

well I’ve done my half hour of exercise, jog/stomp on the spot plus stretches and push ups, then some yoga. 
congratulations to all who get out and post pics.....I will post one of the wet garden from indoors!
