New Beginnings

I have been away from this blog a looooonnnnng time, as in 4 years.  Everyday I think about trying to lose weight and never get around to doing it.  I have just come across the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle change (THM) for short.  There is a Facebook page that has tremendous helps, recipes, encouragement by many women who are being successful in their quest for a healthy new life.  Based on Christian principles and sound research for what works well in the body for good nutrition as well as weight loss and then maintaining, this book seems to be just the right book at the right time for me.  I have assembled the items to help me in the cooking of the healthy meals, now I just have to do it.  I haven't forgotten about T-Tapp either.  T-Tapp More is another way to manage the body into a healthy life.  I am 67 years old and if I don't get busy,God may call me home and I will have lost the race(in a manner of speaking). [Don't get me wrong, I know that I have been redeemed, just not obedient in this area of my life.]  God expects us to take care of our bodies as it is the temple for His Holy Spirit which guides us into all truth through God's Word.  Anyway, hoping 2014 is my year to become healthy...overcoming Diabetes, High Cholesterol and other minor issues that will be better without extra weight.  I have read accounts of ladies getting off all their medications.  May I be one of those ladies!!

So here's to you Pearl and Serene....Let's GO!

Checking in again

Thursday May 21 my FBG was 89
Friday May 22 my FBG was 92
Saturday May 23 my FBG was 99

I was very careful on Wednesday watching that I kept my sugar intake on the low side and was rewarded with the Thurs. low. I was very pleased with that. Thursday was the day we ate out late in the evening and was surprised that Friday was as good as it was. Friday night I made the yummy Apple muffins that my daughter'-in-law recommended and I ate too many of them. I had a racing heart and feeling that my insides were vibrating for quite a while. I do not want to repeat that. Very uncomfortable. I think I am coming to terms more with my diabetes diagnosis and want to reverse it even more than ever.

Thursday AM I did my T-Tapp routine, Friday skipped because of fatigue and knee concerns and I missed again Saturday. So I T-tapped 3 days of 5 so far this week. Will try to publish a food log daily so that I stay on top of my sugar issues.

I helped daughter today(Saturday) man handle 6-40 pound bags of cow manure compost, 6 of mushroom compost, equal amounts of peat moss and perlite to fill up her 3 square foot gardening squares. We dumped 1 of each type of bag in a tarp, flipped it around to mix, dragged it to the receiving square and dumped it. That was a bit of exercise, I do believe, so I didn't skip all physical activity today:-)
