    Having the lift to myself

    Quite happy to chat to anyone in work, on the bus, wherever

    But I hate sharing a lift. When it arrives I love when it’s empty. I admit I’ve held back and been walking slowly to let others ahead get the lift and I wait for the next. And I press the close button too immediately though I wouldn’t do it someone’s face, that’d rude

    A lift all for me is my TH

    Just home from an annual medical and feeling chuffed with myself.

    2017 I was diagnosed with type two diabetes and was immediately put onto medication and a low carb (sugars) diet, it wasn't the end of the world but at the time and for a few days afterwards that's how it felt.

    Today, after two years of hard work I've lost 30+kgs (6 stone) and loads, and loads of cardio (I'm easily running 10 twice a week and 5k's the other days, allowing one rest day).. And thousands of times pricking my fingers to take blood glucose readings.

    Anyway after all that, my doctor has taken me off my medications and told me that he's almost 100% confident I've completely reversed my diabetes and he just needs two more tests to prove it.

    I know I'm two weeks premature announcing it, and I hope I'm not putting a mockers on it but it looks like I'm DIABETES FREE :):)

    Oh, I had an issue with cholesterol (which runs hand in hand with diabetes).. That's come down from 7.7 to 4.2 :) :

    2017 weight was 130kgs, today I'm 97kgs :)

    Well done!!!

    My weird brain makes me happy.

    I've been messaging my daughter, and silly predictive text just put in an apostrophe where it didn't belong.
    And I'm a stickler for punctuation.

    (Dizzy Rascal, you ain't seen nothing yet!)

    "My apologies, for the apostrophe,
    it shouldn't really matter, but it does to me."

    Th is spending the day with my favorite wee man, he got his first pair of shoes and didn't know what to make of em, then we went to a cafe and I gave him a spoon, well he was a grand time bating it off the table and shouting mad :3 and then he was trying to feed me with the spoon and then I'd feed him with it and he was opening his mouth like as if I was giving him food :3, then we went to the playground and he was have a grand time on the swings and went down a slide :D:3, then my sister put him in his buggy and she goes "lets get uncle k" and I was pretending to run away and he was laughing mad trying to catch me :3.
