Pre-diabetic

Hi I'm Cheryl and just found out I'm pre-diabetic. I am going back to basics to track not only carbs but chiolesterol and sodium too! I have what is called the "triple whammy".

I have finally admitted to myself that I am obsese...not grossly obese but obese just the same. I need to lose at least 70 lbs to get to a healthy bmi but getting under 200 is the first step. I'm about 20 lbs away!

I've been on here before but never really stuck with it and now that I have health issues, I am determined more than ever to get off meds and get healthy.

I have a liimited time to exercise right now due to a lot of changing going on in my life but I work the exercise in whenever I can...like today, it's still chilly here in Cleveland but I will go out this afternoon and try jogging, something I used to do a few years back. Trying to fit as much exercise into the weekends as I can because weekdays are so hectic.

I have two grown daughters who are helping me out. The older one runs marathons, half marathons and many smaller races...she is my organic label reading child! My younger daughter lost a lot of weight after she graduated from college by eating healthy and working out. She also runs races but usually 5 or 10k's.

I keep one quote in my head at all times: "If it is to be...it's up to ME".
