My goals for this week (and beyond):

• Continue treadmill, recumbent bike, strength training (for muscle toning, not bulk), yoga.
• Add variety to my strength training: need to work more muscles, especially stabilizer muscles.
• Do better with my new yoga practice: Breath: A 30 Day Yoga Journey.
• Try to also begin Qi Gong practice, with Eight Brocades.
• Daily walks around the block.
• Fix my bike's flat tire so I can ride outside.
• Expand my culinary skills. I'm learning about lower carb alternatives to starchy foods: yellow pea pasta, RightRice, mashed cauliflower (instead of mashed potatoes), recipes with Almond flour, etc.
• Non-(diet/exercise) goals: read more, play guitar more, learn more.

LOVE THIS! I love how you are focused on being a healthier person in every way...this isn't about weight or food. It's about our emotional and spiritual well being. You're awesome and I am super inspired by this list!

Present!

I did not get in my steps today. I ate cheeseballs for breakfast. I have not met my water goal.
But yesterday I got many steps more then average. Yesterday I drank water. Yesterday I had an apple with peanut butter for breakfast.
Tomorrow is a crap shoot!

Did I mention I quit smoking....lol

mmm...
1. my focus this week is to just try to stay focused on current tasks! I am finding my mind wonder much too much lately.
2. Working on getting back into the habit of my morning walks before heading off to work, even just 20 mins helps to get my head right for the day.
3. Record my food/drink intake, even if I go over.
4. Stopping by here more often to catch up on what you are all up too.

I'm struggling with my glucose levels. I tried metformin for 3 weeks, my sugar levels rose so high that I got scared and quit it last week. I tried it 2 years ago and the same thing happened after about 3 months.

At this point, I know that if I cannot manage a healthy sleep cycle, I won't be able to manage my diabetes. Going to bed late and/or not getting enough sleep is proven to contribute to metabolic disorders. Cortisol- insomnia-diabetes triangle is vicious.. Of course, I get hungry after 1am, and bam! comes snacking, I end up going over my calories and carbs. It is a sad cycle.

On a good note, I'm walking or working out most days.

Hope everyone is doing good!

Just checking in... So far only got a walk in on Monday, and haven't followed through on 3 & 4. My life is just extremely hectic and a bit stressful at this time, and I expect it will be the same for another few months. Mostly work related.

Also partly due to rescuing 3 cats, a pregnant Mama + her 2 teenage Sons. Mama just gave birth to 3 more kittens over past few days. 2 on Sat night (only one survived), and 1 more 2 days later!!! They are so cute!!! We will be getting the 2 Sons fixed on Monday, and Mama as soon as possible.

Thank you Megan for encouraging us to check-in and share... this is a great group and I am happy to be here!

Here are some photos of our kitties:
