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 think this is my best week since a while back. The Prednisone is working and as long as I keep up the movement, I can do this.

Okay, I dodged another bullet! I again prayed to the lighning/thunder gods and they spared me once again! Thank you gods of L & T!!! But, I didn't really mention the rain in my prayers so I made it back to the entrance to Stratton Woods before the grapefruit sized raindrops entered the picture. Luckily, I live in the first house! So, I basically dodged another round tonight. The thunder and lightning soon followed after I got in the house. And mind you, my time was a wee bit faster than previous days!!! LOL Yes, with good reason, I didn't want to be a statistic!

PF, a mile on the elyptical, upper body, abs and lower back and a 5 mile run. I was able to talk with the thunder/lightning gods and keep it at bay while I was out. Not an easy task but appreciation was shown ...I worked hard in my mileage especially with the Prednisone I am on right now. And the hot flashes aren't making it any easier either. I look forward to easier running days in the future and no menopausal symptoms eventually. That will be sweet!

I did a mile on the elyptical so I added it to my log. Better than nothing.
