So much for my “fresh Monday” post, it’s Thursday! Today I have found out that I am for sure Pre-diabetic, now I already kind of knew that, but seeing the numbers jump 15 or so points in the last 6 months really had an impact on me today. We hear so much more about Type II diabetes because of obesity on the rise. I do believe for many it is self inflicted, myself included. I do, however, have a condition that came with its own set of metabolic issues and I chose to ignore them. I am disappointed in myself that it has come to this, but, have decided to find the positive or the blessing in this. I just don’t know what that is yet.
My eating habits and regular routine will change greatly compared to what I had expected when I first decided to try this blogging. Aside from an anxious filled day with my NP, I managed to stop and talk with my trainer/nutritionist, the advice I was given was great, and still somehow seems undoable, which at this stage of the game anything should be doable. It is the six mini meals a day-with the first being within the first 30 minutes of waking, and-zero carbs 4 or more hours before bed. I want to be healthy, so I will find a way to make this work. Right now I am running on pure adrenaline and fear.
Maybe someone out there can relate. I am unnerved, disappointed and very, very determined. I ran for the first time since grade school today, and aside from the Tata’s needing better support it really killed some of my anxiety, and I felt breathless but good. I am now thinking of jogging once a week and maybe bumping it up to twice and so on. I am not a fan of running unless I have somewhere I need to be, it seems pointless, but my health is anything but pointless. I am also now determined to ride my bike three times a week as well. I just know I can do this…If I am driven by anything, its fear!
