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!!!

Monday met with a flurry of goodness. I had a great FBS (after an evening at Sonny's BBQ!) and my weight has hit below 150...a milestone I have been longing for. I actually hit it last week but not on my Monday weigh-in. i am almost there. 140 was my ultimate goal and i know I can do it. The persistence is paying off.

My big day

1:18:15 (Friday)

120/620/1,000
.
I went to Planet Fitness and did a mile on the elyptical plus the 5 usual ones. It was hotter than I expected but I muddled through in decent time. (an hour and 8 minutes) My PF moments were just with lower body and abdominals. I think I did well. I hope to be back more often now that I have dropped below 150 for 2 days.

Peace

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.
