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!!!

I'm pouring...in sweat...

Okay, I'm changing, as is my perogative, as a woman and also a sagittarian!
.

I decided to run 2 miles and after I got out, I wanted to go some more so I walked another mile and ran the last...and may I say, when I use the word "ran" or any tense of it, I mean it quite loosely. I guess it would be jogging but when I use the word run, it sounds more serious and I am quite serious. Kj said he would go tomorrow for a run. I will do that, too.

Wednesday's long one...

KJ and I ventured out into the world of pre-summer fun yesterday as we jogged for 2 miles to the south on Lockwood Blvd then walked my pace for the 5 miles to the north part of Lockwood. Well, we jogged for the last 3/4 mile home, too. The time could have been a bit faster but with the heat and not having jogged for a long time, we took it slow.
.
Today is the day of reckoning. My legs took a beating with the run yesterday but it is the good "no pain, no gain" type of feeling that one gets when starting a new program. I am going to skip any exercise today to allow this change to be a positive motivator for future endeavors.

KJ plans to exercise with me this summer. He has one more day of school and then we will be going to Planet Fitness so he can get a membership there. He won't be walking all my walks with me but it will be good for us to go to the gym together a couple times a week. And Karl has a membership there so he can take KJ some of the time.
