I wouldn’t say that I have fallen off the wagon, but I’ve definitely been teetering since Hawaii. So, I’ve started an exercise … ‘plan’… if you can call that. Basically, I ride the exercise bike we bought last summer at a garage sale till it hurts me. Which is about 10 minutes. ha. Seriously though, I do at least 10 minutes no matter what and hope to continue to increase that to 15, 20, etc. I need to start out slow and work my way up.

I’ve still not lost any more weight… but I have started posting again on the diabetes support boards. And today I picked up what looks to be a promising book: Fix-it and Forget-it. I love my slow cooker and use it whenever I can, so I think I’ll enjoy this cookbook.

I also picked up The First Year Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed. This was highly recommended on the diabetes support board. I’m 6 months into my first year of being diagnosed, but I know I still have a lot to learn. And then I found this little pocket journal where you can track your carbs, exercise, etc. I hope to get some use out of it.

I’ve also tested twice in the last couple days. Shocking, huh? Once the other morning before I ate (FBS which = Fasting Blood Sugar). It was 138. Not good. But then I tested before dinner today and it was 119. Not too bad.

Today I’ve done more to educate and prepare myself for this life of diabetes than I’ve done in the past six months. Go me.
