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!!!

One day left...

Another day at Planet Fitness. I took KJ and we did the machines. I did upper and lower body but KJ only did upper...it's a guy thing. I did a mile on the elyptical in 8:54 so that was added to my time for today. I ran almost the entire time. I lost music at the 3 mile mark so I had no musci for 2 miles. Oh well, it was still okay. I'm keeping up.

Grinding it down ... I made the 800 mark. I'm happy with the results. Only a couple more walk/runs. Then a new year for more goals and rewards to reap. I sowed well with my health this year.

I went to PF with the boys today. Did a full workout and then walked/ran back at home. Good times with them. I hope we can go a few times over the next week and a half.

The Final Countdown...

Only 11 more days of this year. I hope to pass the 800 mark by a couple dozen. I did PF today...full workout and another mile on the elyptical. A real downer was that I got on it right when they had breaking news about Caylee Anthony's body confirmation. So, I cried for the 10 minutes I was on the machine and released all the feelings I've had during the last several months. Closure is a good thing thought the outcome, as this one was, is never a good one. (I've always wondered what ever happened Trenton Duckett) I went on and did the machines with a mellow, sad heart. My run was powerful, yet not as quick as I have been. A heavy heart is harder to carry than a light, care free one. Tomorrow will be a better day. It has to be.

I think this is my fastest time yet. I can race better now in the cooler and less humid weather. It really does make a difference. I wonder what next May through October will bring for me. I know I will have to adjust but I will figure it out. I always do. Now, to finish the year out with at least 800 miles. I've accomplished mayn goals and even though I didn't do what I set out to do in the beginning of the year, I'm not complaining. I feel very good about what I have done. It will set the stage for what I want to do next year.

I missed Monday and Tuesday for PF but I was able to go today and do my 1 mile on the elyptical and then a full upper and lower body workout. It felt good after a grueling few days of prep for a party. The walk/run seemed harder..I was breathing heavier and sweating a lot more, but the time was good. Better than I thought it would be. I guess I am able to move quicker now without realizing it. And I weighed myself this am and am at an all time low since 1995...142.5 lbs. Only 2.5 more lbs to go to meet my ultimate goal which I didn't expect to hit for at least another month or two. Cool!!!
