Day 32 of the rest of my life.........

Thursday, October 11, 2012

I am all moved out of the summer home and back to the winter place. It is so difficult to keep up with the food and exercise while living in limbo for 6 weeks! ah well, I did it.........I gained 2 lbs but I did it. I can only imagine how bad it would have been had I not been "careful".

So, back home, groceries stocked up, gym back in the picture.

I learned alot this summer. I learned that I can make all of the excuses I want, bottom line is, if you don't work at it, you don't lose weight. I learned that you can barbecue most veges and fruits, some are good, some not so much! I learned that it's all up to me.......I make my own decisions. If my blood sugars are bad, I can pretty much tell you why!

I know this sounds stupid but tis true........I realized for every "day off" I take from my diabetes, for every "day off" I take from my exercise, for every "day off" I take from accepting responsibility for my life, for every "day off" I take in general, I am hurting myself the most. I guess at 55 it's time to grow up and realize I have a disease. I had cancer, I beat it, the end result is diabetes, but I am alive. Stop throwing it away because of stupidity. I've been given another chance at life, why am I sabotoging it.......

    It can be hard to face these difficult facts. But you can do it. You beat the cancer; you can beat the diabetes too. After Sparking since February, my A1C is 5 which is completely normal. My doctor considers me not to have diabetes any more (though I'll have watch myself to stay normal) and took me off the medicatons. If I can do it, so can you.

Good luck!
