On loosing weight and exercise

so let me share some of my journey

As a diabetic I know how important it is...

And when I was given Avandia I went up all the way to almost 200 lb... I am 5.1

So ever since I stopped taking it... after the doctor and I discussed it, I have lost some weight (thirty pounds)

Now when I was that high I got a Gazelle. Seen the damn thing on the late nights and I thought to myself... that is ideal for my bad knees.

The first time I stepped on it, after I finished putting it together... this was a test on itself... I managed to get only six minutes. I was exhausted.

It took me two moths to work all the way to twelve minutes. It was HARD.

So today we didn't walk or go out, or go bike... (the bike is a recent addition due to gas prices)... so I stepped on my machine and I put in twenty four minutes... and I felt sweaty but not tired.

As I said I have also lost about thirty pounds. Which is very critical for sugar control

(in fact, I need to talk to doc about dosage... the hypoglycemia has gotten at times bad.. and meds are weight based)

So yes, you need to find a way to exercise. And it is possible. And if you get an exercise machine make sure you use it, and does not become a clothes rack

Oh and I could have gone for a couple more minutes, but then my hubby said, hey it's late, neighbors.



Oh and if you are a diabetic, don't forget to make sure that your sugars don't crash after an intense session and if you are not, that you hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. You need to hydrate regardless of what ails you Yep this means a finger prick in about twenty minutes just to make sure me sugars ain't crashing... and yes a small snack
