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!!!

Skip it

.
FBS - 92

I skipped walking today. Day off. My legs were sore all last night. I couldn't get comfortable. Hopefully, the day of rest will be just what I needed.

Massage does wonders for the body! I am still not pain free but Jonah is able to get me loosened up somewhat. I might have been better off skipping today's walk since I came straight home and walked but I needed to get out in the fresh air. Lots of emotional things going on that I need to release and walking does that for me.

Hip-hip-hooray! I walked today!

Hips still sore and I know I will feel it tomorrow. I am going to take a hot salt bath tonight and do some extra stretching. Plus, I may open my book on the Mattes Method and do some of those stretches. Active Isolated Stretching is what the name of it is. Very good for your tight parts.
.
I did stretch pretty good by sitting on the floor before I went out and I started doing stomach crunches. So far, I've done 100 on Thursday and 100 again today. Hopefully, it will subtract from the ever decreasing size that I am getting to.

I took off today to rest my legs and hips. They were sore most of the day and into the night. I have a massage scheduled this week which I think will help out tremendously.

My Daily Renewal

.
FBS - 100
.
9/45/1,000
.
1:16:45
.
It seems as though I go through a "renewal" of sorts every time I walk. I am usually 1/2 to 3/4 done when I start the thinking process of what I am doing and why I am doing it. I come to the same conclusion each time. It's because I need it and I want to be successful within myself. I may not be able to do a lot of things. But this is one thing I can do and only I am in control of it. So, carry on...
