Valentines Day
As I predicted Kev still went to work despite not being well at all, and having a very up and down night.
Willow snuggled on my legs after he had gone and we got up around 8.30am. I did my treadmill walk and had chia pudding for breakfast with some blueberries. I washed upI tided up after feeding Willow of course.
I worked at my desk for a bit writing cards for upcoming birthdays, and wrapping gifts.
I did Kevs Valentines Day card a while back but I wrote it and I gave it him when he got home from work. At least he has tomorrow off.
I found an app called My Diabetes which allows me to keep a food diary and calculates how many carbs I have left after each meal. Game changer for meas I am trying to keep my blood glucose levels in check. They've been a bit all over the place after all the stress surrounding my last six months at work. So now that things have settled down and I'm used to being at home, I can concentrate on getting back on the ball with my food, and exercise, not that I ever stopped exercising, just would let it slide some days. Exercising is important with diabetes and to be honest if I don't I suffer with my legs and back something terrible.
Food I'm pretty good with, but counting carbs has always been since I was diagnosed a ball ache. So finding this app is a blessing as I no longer have to do the maths. It takes the guess work out too, so I might even lose a bit more weight.
Another fantastic find has been that chia jam recipe. It tastes amazing and so easy to do even I can't mess it up. I wouldn't buy any preserves again. I've downloaded a recipe to do the same with marmalade. I just need to get some jam jars or if they aren't too expensive mason or kilner jars. I can put the jam in porridge or Greek yogurt. So hopefully non of it will go to waste. It has a shelf life of two weeks, and must be kept in the fridge. I can't see it lasting that long.
