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!!!

Catch up...

.
87/469/1,000 (Friday, July 4, 2008)
.
Wednesday, I went to PF to do my upper body machines while KJ sat and read. I only did a 5 minute warm up on the elyptical machine so I can't count any mileage for the day.
.
Thursday was drive to TN day and there wasn't any exercising then.
.
Friday, we got up in the am and walked 2.5 miles, ran 2 miles then walked another half mile on the Linear Trail in Erwin, TN. It was a great day for this. Weather was wonderful and I remembered my inhaler.
.
Today we decided on a day off and it turned out that it rained all morning on and off so we made a good decision. Tomorrow, we will be back on the trail for another 5 miles.

A Little at a Time...

.
52:25
.
4.1 miles
.
86/464/1,000 (Tuesday, July 1, 2008)
.
Okay, so when you cant get outside, you improvise. I went to PF with KJ yesterday and while he did upper body, I did the elyptical for almost an hour. It was a great workout and in the A/C, wow, what a difference. I could have gone another hour...except for the fact that I had some shin/calf issues along the way. It definitely works out other muscles than just walking. But, it was great to do that! I also did lower body machines.

half way through the year

.
Weight - 157.5 lbs.
.
I ran on Friday...under 2 miles since it started thundering and lightning while KJ and I were out. Luckily Karl was coming home from UCF and picked us up at the 1.5 mile point. So, my time was 19:46 which would have equated to about 26 or so minutes.
.
85/460/1,000
.
I am short on my mileage. This is the halfway point and I should have 500 of the 1,000 miles I wanted to walk by the end of the year. I am still working out, doing treadmill warm ups and the 2 mile runs. Luckily, I can walk more as the weather cools down and maybe start some morning walks to pick up some miles again.
