Hmm, a slight increase in weight. Not to worry, it will fluctuate if I continue weighing every day. I'm going to give a daily weigh-in a go for a month and assess at the end whether it helps or not. I decided to have a crack at a short walk yesterday, to see how my feet went. I walked for 15 minutes and that was fine. YAY! My endocrinologist has prescribed amitriptyline and Vitamin B as they can lessen neuropathic pain, although it takes ages to get a noticeable result. Anyway, the pain in my feet has been slowly improving, so I felt a walk was worth a try. I'll gradually increase the distance. and hopefully, get it up to a useful level.  

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼 15 minutes to start off is great! When I started walking in Late November, I could only manage the 250 metres to the nearest corner and back home. The first time I did the 2.9 km walk to the local shopping centre and back (with a backpack for shopping) it felt like a major adventure! Just extend your walk a little bit at a time. Get yourself some really good supportive and comfy walking shoes too, that makes such a difference!
