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!!!

Amazing...

Yes, at 11:45 am I went out with my water bottle and a bite of granola bar and did the walk/run/3/2. I just returned at 12:58 and even though I am drenched in sweat, I feel soo good! Yes, that's "soo" with 2 "o's". Rhymes with "hoe". *evil grin*

I can definitely feel the power when it's there. What is there? The 3 D's...Determination, Dedication and Dominance of attitude. I have to will myself to be the best I can be sometimes. But, it can still be done. The distance can be run so-to-speak. And I also have learned more of my limitations. I'm not 20 anymore. Or even 30. But, in my better moments, I can do more and push myself more to go the distance. Now, that's attitude. That's amazing!

Well, if I run 2 miles at a time, I won't hit my thousand for the year but in the big picture, it's about health and not particular numbers. I am trying to lose that last 10 lbs and I know that it will be more likely that I do it by running instead of walking, even if I do less mileage. The big thing to remember is not to injure myself.

Time sure slipped by me. Between all the hurricanes to deal with, leaks, birthdays, "stuff" happening, I took some time off. It was good, too. I gave my muscles a rest and they were ready for a great walk/run today outside in the morning heat. Not too hot...about 80 degrees. I even forgot my inhaler but I did fine. I also noticed that I dropped about 4 lbs. which is probably due to muscle loss from not going to the gym. I'll be starting back there, too.
