Now here is some babble-
Let’s start with the statistics: More than 54 million people are pre-diabetic and many don’t know it. Here is my story-I went for a check up last week and they did a finger prick that showed my fasting blood sugar was 100, now I didn’t know that was okay and could have forgone the glucose torture test. Instead I drank the pure sugar and humored the doctor. I went back for the blood draw and the prick my finger again, and it was over 150. Now this scared me to death and panic set in, I freaked out all the way home and felt doomed most of the night as they said it was likely type II and/or Pre-diabetes. One of my friends used to be a practice at this clinic and was outraged that they put me though this over a blood prick on a very outdated monitor. She was right; they called and told me my fasting blood sugar was not type II, but it almost bordered the PD stage. I have decided since I have this syndrome that puts me at risk for this stuff anyway, to take it as serious as I did the day they over tested me for no reason. I am still using it as a wake up call, we as humans miss way too many of these, and I am not skipping this one.
The did mention the monitors were a bit outdated and felt my sugars would come back much lower…This would have been really nice to know that day.
I was told I eat fairly well, and some minor adjustments were needed as well as the more often. I am allergic to artificial sweeteners but tolerate stevia well. I am minimizing my sugars, had given up all white flours and breads long ago (a few exceptions here and there) and I don’t eat a whole lot of processed food. The thought of another “diet” of any kind really does make me certifiable. I know someone who is on the HCG diet, giving herself hormone shots and eating no more than 500 calories a day. Shooting yourself with hormones just doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. The fact that this is legal is utterly baffling. Women go crazy and do crazy all in the name of dieting. I could not go that extreme. There is another woman who had gastric surgery and within a week ate McDonalds, and has since had a load of other crap. So what is the point if you’re not going to change the way you think? You have surgery and think it is a free ticket to weight loss and the dollar menu?
I was told to think of all the active things I like to do, make a list. So here is my list-
Walking, Tennis, Swimming, Weights, Canoeing, Boxing. There has to be more…
So the only thing I really do is the walking every day- rain or shine. I do weights when I remember, and have a pile of DVD’s that have never even been opened. I think I like yoga but am not that good at it. It takes patience and they don’t sell that at Target either. I think I did find a private yoga teacher, I will find out Tuesday.
A trainer will ask, what is your goal? What do you want to see happen to your body? I just want to be fit and flexible. I think that is smart and attainable. Super skinny doesn’t appeal to me, and neither does the super buff woman you thought was a man, and then noticed the eye shadow. That happened last week! Not for me, but somewhere in the middle.
I don’t watch the show The Biggest Loser, but I do watch the finale. These people lose a huge amount of weight in a short time, and it is impressive. I would like to know how many have kept it off. Anyway, if these people can drop over a hundred pounds or more in 6 months, than surely I can drop 45 or so in that same amount if time. My plan is to lose close to 20 pounds before Christmas, and the rest before June.
