Hello Ladies! I'm so excited because I had a great check up at the doctor yesterday. My blood glucose is down! I've been working on remembering to take my medicine each morning and each night for the last month. It's working!
At my last check up I'd mentioned to Dr. Karen that I was starting a new blog with my girls regarding healthy living. She was very impressed and even remembered at our appointment yesterday that I was doing this. She just thinks that it's such a great idea for us to be supportive of each other in this undertaking.
So to report on my first goal...I'm doing it! And by doing it I am creating a healthier me! Wa-hoo!! Go Me! I know that this may seem like a very, very small step, But to see results is so awesome! I was at 195 on Monday morning. I haven't seen any numbers in the 100's for years!
For this week my goal continues to be remember to take my medication (I've had the dosage doubled). And I'm also adding drink more water during the day. One of the effects of the medication is that I don't feel hungry, or thirsty. So going back to my pitcher of water everyday is important. I was told that if I eat right I won't have dire side effects (the runs) from the medication. So far so good, I've been able to handle what has come...so this piece of information will prompt me to watch what I eat more closely.
As a side note: I celebrated yesterday's LOW with french fries at lunch...perhaps I should choose another form of celebration. No fries today. Medication & water...I'm on a good start!
How did YOU do with your goal for last week. Let's get some feedback going here. Thank you to those of you who have been making comments on the blog. I am glad to see that some of you are reading it.
That's wonderful. It's nice to see some results! Since it's wednesday I guess I should make my weekly goal. My goal is to make my goals on Monday! haha! I did good with my vitamins, I only missed one day, so I'll continue with that. I used to be so good at taking them. And I did 4 days of 20 minutes of exercise. So I'll continue with 4 days but bump up my time on the eliptical to 25 mins or if I feel up to it 30 mins. And I've been doing good with my two bottles of water a day. Here is my REAL goal to pump up my giant blue exercise ball and use it. Good luck to me.
ReplyDeleteElora will love the big blue ball. I hope you get to use it too!
DeleteMy goal last week was to stretch every morning before work, and I missed one day ( my back was killing me later!) I'll continue that this week and add in walking an extra mile five times during the week.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Glad your with us! Wow...that will be an extra 5 miles! I don't know if I could even walk one. Go, Go, Go!
