I haven't had much to blog about lately and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Many times I get the motivation to write something simply out of frustration with my diabetes. A lot of times people write about things that are bothering them. People also share experiences they go through where diabetes somehow negatively comes into play.

I am happy to say that today and the past week have been pretty good for me.

I have been working more, working out a lot, and having surprisingly great control over my blood sugars.

I think one of the reasons things have been so good is because I've been riding a wave of sorts. I had one of those, "when it rains it pours" weeks, but in a good way. A lot of things went well for me. I did a lot of things that I wanted to do. I made some money, spent some time with my girlfriend and my family, and I also had great martial art training sessions and work outs.

Now, here it is Sunday night and I am trying to stay motivated about the week to come and not let my feelings get the best of me.


I haven't got all my Christmas shopping done, I am not really looking forward to work and I know I will have some BRUTAL workouts and more martial arts training.

I feel like I have said it a million times, and I know that I am speaking directly to myself when I say, "having a good attitude towards things means everything". I will try to have a good week, get some good things done and continue to be as healthy as I can and on top of my diabetes.

I'll go into work just like many of us do on Monday morning. I'll try to feel good and make the best of any situation. If I have a high or low blood sugar then I'll deal with it and I will not get mad or frustrated with anyone because they don't understand me or the life that I live. One has to keep their minds clear of anything that isn't necessary. Life is too beautiful to let something upset you too much. There are so many good things in the world and it is wonderful to be able to feel healthy and happy. I'm trying to.

Thank you very much for reading today. -Andy

Hey Andy - I'm always trying to find ways to destress. Aside from pulling punches in my blood sugar levels, stress makes my head spin all on its own.

I like your internal motivational speeches going on ... I think I need to start giving myself weekly pep talks. ;)
