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!!!

The weather is getting more bearable during the day. I am able to run close to 3 miles and not get winded. THe humidity is down about 10-15% on the whole also. That helps the breathing capacity a lot.

A Time For Reflections...

It was more humid again today but I was able to go in the evening without the inhaler. I am glad that the year is entering the stage of harvest. I look forward to the cooler nights and better air with less humidity. As the plants die back, they will stop the production of allergens and allow people to breathe easier. Me included. I am proud of how far I have come. This is the season for reflection. I am reaping what I sowed at the beginning of the year making it a prosperous one for me.

I left at 6:45 pm as I was lost in googleland!!! But, the temp was 78 degrees and there was a great wind blowing. The humidity was the lowest it has been for my walks since early spring.However, I was drenched upon returning! Man, I can drop 5 lbs just in sweat. I'm glad I always bring water.
.
I hope this is a new trend for the rest of the year. My key to picking up the mileage and hitting my 1,000 walks for the year!

I forgot to score my walk/run for yesterday. It's raining right now at 3:30 so I don't know if I will be able to get any mileage in but if so, I will add it in. And, yes, I am at an all time low of 151.5 lbs. in my 40's...since 2000. I am very excited that my plateau has "released" me from where I seemed to be stuck at. Now, another 10 lbs. and I will be in the very healthy range of weight for my height. And with a FBS of 93...my dr will be very pleased this Wed. Ah...life is good. I am trying to be good to life!
