Diabetes Sucks!!!

I don't like it! I don't want it! But I've got it! And once you have it, you always have it. But I can do something about it and that is what this blog is about. My journey to better health and wellness. Yes, for the rest of my life!!!

Okay, I put on a new pair of walking shoes for my walk today. Yes, they need to be broken in a few more walks!!! Wow! They were tight! And my toes were tingling!!! My time was respectable, though.
.
I noticed today (since, I think there are only women who read my blog), that my mood is just not up to snuff. This peri-menopause stuff is really wearing me down...mentally and physically. My period was 5 days early and with a lot more symptoms...breat tenderness 2 weeks before I started, cramping, heavier periods than usual, and hot and cold flashes!!! Sheesh!!! But, I do have to say that in mentioning it to fellow Bunko players last week who are experiencing peri-menopause also...they have more extreme symptoms than I do plus fibroids and other experiences that I am missing...gratefully missing, that is!!! So, with the mood today of "I don't feel like walking"....."I'm too tired"....."I'll walk tomorrow"....."It's so hot".....(me whining)...I told myself to get off my lazy a@@ and get out in the heat with plenty of H2O and Gatorade and get walking....AND QUIT WHINING and COMPLAINING!!!!!
.
So, I listened to myself and did. It wasn't easy but I just did. Put new shoes on, put on my other usual gear and just started walking. Now, I feel accomplished...kind of like the day I came home from the overnight Relay for Life. Okay, not quite that accomplished, but close!
