    When did you start?

    The second week of December when my wife found out she was diabetic (although there were a few 'off' days over the Christmas period ;) )

    The biggest change in lifestyle has been cutting down the booze (currently doing a dry January) as we were drinking most evenings beforehand.

    I finally got around to doing a blood glucose test on myself this morning (I tend to have an ostrich mentality when it comes to my health and I haven't even been to a doctor about anything in the last 7/8 years!). I was pleased to see that it was bang in the middle of the normal range :)

    I also took a blood pressure reading and that was in the normal range too.

    I'm loving the OMAD life. Last night I ate a large plate of Beef Chili with nachos, cheese, salsa, avocado and sour cream. It felt like a treat/feast without any guilt or regrets attached as I still ended the day on about 1100 cals! I even stepped on the scales this morning (I normally only weigh in once a week) and it was down a pound from yesterday!.....Happy days :)

    Music to my ears...and the emails i get from elsewhere are strikingly similar. It's not only a lifestyle workability issue, but a guilt-ridding issue.

    You've got it, man. You've got it!

    Haha....yes I did, but I was quite strict with myself and cut down a lot on carbs. I don't intend on being so strict this week.

    Also, I did about 3 days worth of work on my car this week so that was a good few hours of unintentional exercise!

    I'm not bothering with an update this week as I've got Man Flu and haven't been hydrating properly so it wouldn't be a like-for-like measurement.

    I'll just go sit in a corner and feel sorry for myself! Lol

    It's like the regular flu, but twenty times worse, as every man who has ever had it can attest. .

    My wife got diagnosed with cancer and is currently having chemotherapy so that threw a spanner in the works!

    Hopefully I've got my head together again to have another go at this. I gained back around 9lbs which isn't as bad as I was expecting.
