Does anyone else not exercise regularly with your diabetes while self-managing? I was a dedicated exerciser for my diabetes and then I lost about 30 pounds. Then Thanksgiving and Christmas came along... and that did it. I was "too" busy to exercise. I was sick about 3 times along the way (probably because I didn't exercise). And have experienced some personal problems. Now here it is "Spring" and I'm still not back in the habit. I do exercise at least 3 times a week, but to lose the rest of my weight, I have to do it every single day.
I guess it's true what they say about losing 10% of your weight. It does help to control your blood sugar. And that's where I'm at. I lost enough to control my blood sugar and now I'm stuck. And I found out I can cheat on my diet and eat "sweets" once in a while. And now I cheat all the time, which doesn't help me lose weight either.
Guess I need to start back. I will be going to visit my children and granddaughter in about a week and I'm mad at myself because I was supposed to be in better shape when I went back to visit them so I would not be so tired and have enough energy to keep up with them. But I have to forgive myself for this. Some things weren't preventable. Tell me if anyone else has this problem? And here's a good article that made me start thinking about all of this.
It's definitely hard. I know I need to eat better and exercise but I still don't. I've been thinking the same things lately. Here it is warm weather again and I still haven't gotten in shape. Oh well we can do it. Just have to convince our minds.
ReplyDeleteOh and ps it still didn't send me an email. I just saw your posting on Facebook.
We will do it. It didn't send me an email either. I will have to go look into it again.
