Exercise

Yesterday February 12 my FBG was 87 and I walked 10,941 steps.

Today Februar 13 my FBG was 88

Tuesday February 10

I walked tonight!!!! Hooray!!! Total steps for today as monitered by my birthday present pedometer 9,621 steps. I had to remove my battery early in the day and lost some morning steps sooooo maybe I actually walked 10,000 or nearly:-).

Morning FBG 88 I finished listening to Genesis on a borrowed mp3 player while walking. Hubby bought me my own mp3 player for my birthday but don't have anything loaded on it yet. My desire is to listen to the Bible while walking. It will be interesting how long it takes me to get through the entire Bible in this concentrated way. I look forward to it.

My weigh in on Saturday was 168.

I'm bad :-(

I have not walked for over a week. The weather has been very cold for this Florida acclimated transplant. I know that is an excuse but it is also true! I hope to get back in to the swing of things with walking this next week.
I don't feel well generally and the activity may improve my mental and physical stamina as well as burn calories which has to cause weight loss eventually.

My fasting blood glucose was 89 this am which I am pleased with. It has been in the 90's the last couple of weeks and I prefer to see it in the 80's giving much more wiggle room. Always wanting to stay under 100. I did weigh in 2 weeks ago at 168. I think that is down 2 pounds from previous weigh in.

Walking

Yesterday Jan 18 and today Jan 19 I made myself get out and walk. Last night's walk occurred after a whole day of a miserable headache. After finally getting some relief in the evening I decided to walk in hopes that it would get the circulation going and help further improve my head situation. When I finished I felt good and took a shower and washed my head. There was still some soreness on the left side of my head but still felt better.

Tonight I got a late start. I had to take care of a nearly due sales tax report. Got started walking at 9pm and finished at 9:30pm. Both nights I walked 1.9 miles by the pedometer. I had to stop tonight because of discomfort in my hips. I didn't want to overdue so that I would not be able to work on my job well tomorrow. I would like to get a pedometer that measures steps. I want to be like soleman and get in 10,000 steps a day.

Trying to watch the quantity of food eaten. Will do better on the quality as I gain energy to plan and prepare the food we need to eat. I DO NOT want to buy fast food any more!!!!

Step #3

I am exceedingly tired tonight and think I will go to bed early. It is 8:30pm now. I have been retiring too late for me the last many nights around 11ish. I am done for today:-)

I hope to get my blood glucose test strips soon as I have run out. Meant to get them tonight and forgot :-(. I want to start posting my morning fasting blood glucose.

Step #2

We walked again last night Jan.11. It was a beautiful night with cool air, a slight breeze. I felt very good and thought perhaps we would add an extra street onto our once around the park walk. However as we came up the last street on the first round, I knew I couldn't do the extra bit. So we stopped with once around.

A step forward

Tonight hubby and I went for a walk once around our park. That was enough for a start. I am going to have to start setting aside time for planning- shopping/w/coupons even if I have to take a half day off to get it accomplished. I have been working extra hours and need to back off and try to get my home back as a priority. We both need to get the weight off and eating out is costly in a monetary way and a health way.
