OK, so  I took a LONG hiatus……………….

I did some exercising here and there, but not anything continuous.  I’m re-dedicating myself to walking/running, etc. Did 2.06 miles on the treadmill this afternoon.  Walk/Run for 40min.

The weather is getting nicer again to be outside so I hope to ramp up.

Bob had back surgery on July 6th and we both have gained weight with his recovery.  His because of lack of movement and I guess I was sympathy gaining  . 

He goes back to the doctor this Friday to see how things are and hopefully he can get back to exercising.  His endurance is low and he’ll have to start slow, but he is determined!  So I will be too.  I have a little advantage at the moment to get my butt going and maybe catch up to where he may be shortly.

I NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK!

Since the holidays I’ve been stagnant.  Not gaining, not losing, not exercising, not being careful in my diet.

I need a BIG kick in the butt.  I’m going to return to the beginning of my blog and re-read.  Hopefully to give me that motivation to keep on………………

I’m only on one HBP med and hopefully will get off that in April when I see the doctor next.  I am still taking the Metformin, which was horrible in the beginning, but my body has accepted it and it is great for BS.  If I have to take that for the rest of my life, I might be ok with that, if it lets me maintain a ‘normal’ diet without my blood sugar getting out of whack.  But if I can maintain it with just exercise and diet and no med…….

I alway feel so much better when I’m exercising…………….JUST DO IT.  Geeze….to anyone else that has been through a lull in their exercise, get moving!  I took enough of a break.  Maybe I needed it.  Maybe I needed to be still and enjoy.  Maybe this break will give me the motivation to start anew.

Down 36lbs, only 4lbs to make it 40.  Hope I can do that before I see the Doctor.  Cause on their scale with clothes on, lol,  it will be more like 36lbs.

Spent yesterday moving lumber, chairs, junk wood from the backyard.  Starting to build the sides of the water falls with rock.  Lots of hard work but it will look great when we’re done.

PSU plays Ohio State on Saturday at 3:30pm.

GO PSU!   WE ARE……..PENN STATE!

I can’t believe the products out there that say “sugar free”, when in truth they aren’t…. really.  Just because they might use a sugar free substitute like Splenda or aspartame they may not be truly sugar free.  LOOK AT THE CARBS, WOMAN!  CARBS ARE SUGAR, PERIOD.  Your body handles carbs as sugar.  And anything with sugar alcohols that replace the “sugar taste” in SF candy, cookies, or whatever if eaten in abundance will cause gastric distress and diarrhea   EEEWWWW.
