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!!!

Finally, it happened...

WOW!!! I didn't walk all week. Well, after the 7 mile walk and ensuing hamstring pain on Sunday, I walked all day at WDW Magic Kingdom on Monday. We got there at 11:15 am and left the park for the night at 12:15 am! That was a lot of walking. Plus, we went to the Contemporary for dinner and had to walk to the entrance, get on the monorail and return the same way. Not complaining. I like walking and know that I can just about overtake anyone that tries to walk faster than me (a perk of powerewalking, I guess!)
.
Then, I had my monthly massage on Tuesday and my hamstrings were still bothering me. And that night I went to evening Bunko where I tried out an elyptical machine for 5 minutes and more pain for two days following. So, for a couple of days, I took it easy. I'm good for it!!!
.
Today, I walked without much pain. Just a little bit in the shins but it eased off after 20 minutes and I was able to complete it in my usual window of time.
.
Tomorrow, I will be doing an all day chair massage for the Scrapbooking event nearby. I have 25 slots and I heard that it hasn't filled up so, I may get home earlier. If so, I will walk again for three walking days this week.

I did extra

Total of 7 miles and 1:47:00. It was a little bit slow going today as I had cramps in my hamstrings and glutes. I don't know if it is from yesterday or just doing an extra 2 miles. The weather has beens strange here. Yesterday, I walked in 86 degree heat and today it was 63 and the sun came out while I was walking but it stayed cool. 23 degrees is a big difference.
