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!!!

Strides in determination...

Big day...still having the pain in the lower body from my first lower body workout in a while but I maintained that I WOULD go to PF for upper body. I did it along with abs and lower back. Plus a 5 mile earlier than usual run because my visual "accuweather" forcast said "Get out there before it starts thunder/lightning". I was rained on for about a mile but it kept me cool, there was no sun out and no lightning. I'm glad I didn't go by the accuweather on the computer or I-Phone. I'm proud of myself for the determination. I so didn't want to do any exercise today but did quite a bit. I feel so much better for it.

Today was a busy day. I did both upper and lower body at PF plus a mile on the elyptical. Then, later in the evening, sun still up but lowering over the horizon, I did my 5 miles. Not as fast as I had hoped but still a reasonable time. It was scorching hot out today and no wind so it was hard to maintain the speed I wanted. My body was very cooperative, just not the lungs!!! i will take tomorrow off to let the muscles recoop and then hope for another Wed. like today.....well, except for the heat and humidity.....not too much to ask for, is it?!!!
