Type 2 Diabetes? Whatever.

While I will be rather happy when the words “You have completed the TDR section of the course and now we can start introducing foods” are muttered by the health coach at Oviva at week 12, being 4 weeks and a third of the way through is rather pleasing. Mostly because I got to order different flavour shakes. I have been tied to not-banana and weird-to-say-it’s-chocolate flavours for 4 weeks. So I added vanilla to this batch. Yes, yes I am rather classy, thank you for noticing.

Yesterday I went to London for work. I treated myself to blackcurrant flavoured chewing gum (because it is sugar free and I am allowed it). It was the most flavoursome thing I chewed for weeks. Actually, it is about all I have chewed for 4 weeks. You can’t chew the shakes unless you make them really badly. I also wanted to scream at every bakery I passed (which was a LOT. What is it with bakeries, vape shops and Turkish barbers? Everywhere.) because of the smell of freshly cooked bread and other goodies.

And the guy who stood next to me on the train platform smashing a Greggs sausage roll in his face like he hadn’t eaten in a month? He was lucky to not end up on the tracks.

Aaaanyway. Weekly stats.

Blood glucose – Smash bang in the middle of expected.

Blood pressure – now in the much more healthy area.

Weight – going down and down and down and now a total of 28 pounds lost. Crikey.

Still fat. Just less fat.
