Changes

2009-03-14T09:00:00.000-07:00

Golly has it been that long since I last posted? Oh well, there's been no real change in weight. However there have been major changes in my meds and that is that I have started taking insulin. I am ending my fourth week today and I am sure that my magic number is 30, because my FBS have stayed below 150 for seven days now. Now that I got that done, now it's getting the exercising started, so off I go.......

3 OF 3

I did it! I did my 3 days of exercise for the week. I'll try it again for next week but add 1 day of weight training, unless I can get back to Curves.
Now I am off to bed early, because I have to work tomorrow the early shift. GOODNIGHT Blogger friends

Day 2 of 3

2008-09-26T17:10:00.000-07:00

Whoo Hoo! I finally got my second day of exercise in by doing 25 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of weights. I also did this first thing in the morning which felt really good and lasted all day.
Now I just need to get caught up on my water intake for the day. Have a blessed weekend bloggers :)

For Real

2008-09-26T06:00:00.000-07:00

Yes I messed up on my exercise commitment but I still have three days left of this week to fullfil my promise to myself. I've been very tired this week since going back to work but I know Ive been getting a lot of walking in just being back there. I also need to start a new food journal as I've lost my pages for this week, and I'll be using the WW flex plan.
I'll be back latter for updates.

***********************************************
I guess I was kind of lost in my thoughts a little, but for now this is what drives me to be successful. I am going to the fitness center for 30 minutes, and use the treadmill and the bike, and for sure I am going back to Curves tomorrow. I also bought a weeks worth of lunch stuff so I won't have to get the fatty stuff at work. Well here I go to........>

Beginning Again

2008-09-21T15:32:00.000-07:00

For my weighin today, weight = 330.4 and blood sugar = 150

I have diabetes and am taking medication to get in control. But with the last couple of months it's kind of staying in the range of 140-150. So from now on my reasons to lose are because of my diabetes and to fit my clothes better.
I will get my goals and plan posted in a little while no later than tomorrow evening.

Losing 1/2 of me

2008-09-20T20:24:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally decided that I need to keep journaling and this is where I can get started and just write. This year I started at 315 but over the past 9 months I have gained about 15 pounds although it feels like more than that.
I have to admit that stress does matter and I've I had too much this year. The biggest tragedies being that my only brother died this past June and also my house burned in March. My family and I have sinced moved back into our house after the renovations, but now it seems to be the stressors of work that are overtaking me.
Ok now that I've finally had a week of vacation from home and work, I am ready to take care of me. I'll be back tomorrow to blog my plans.
