I really tried to work exercise into my evening routine. I really, really did. But my evenings just don’t work for exercise. There’s laundry, dinner, getting kids ready for the next day and a host of other things that just don’t jive with exercise.

Yesterday I wrote a blog called, "New Adventure". I want to say "thank you" to everyone who took the time to comment on it and thanks to everyone else who continue to visit my site and follow with me in my experiences. This whole thing continues to blow my mind and without all of you it wouldn't be possible. (READ MORE)

There's something about the intense cold of winter that seems to inspire me to get outside and walk. At insane hours of the morning. Like, before the sun actually comes up. Like, it's still dark when I come back from my walk!
Last winter, I thought about how badly I wanted to reestablish my morning walk with the dog. Usually, it was when I had been sitting at my desk for a long stretch staring at a computer screen. My legs would alternate bouncing up and down like what? And I would start to notice that I felt like sludge because of all the crap I had eaten all day. That's when I would think, "Gee, a walk sure would be good; I think I'll start tomorrow." (READ MORE)

Kerri, our buddy ol' pal here at Blogabetes, sent us bloggers some writing prompts the other day. One prompt that hit home with me was writing about what people can do during these cold months to stay active and keep the pounds off. It is a natural process for us as humans to throw on a few extra lbs as the cold weather starts to approach. With that in mind, I for one, really enjoy working out in MY VERY OWN LIVING ROOM. Even as dedicated as some of us are to working out, it is still a pain to get out into the cold. Nobody likes running to their car, scraping the ice off, and waiting for it warm up just to drive to the gym!! It is hard enough for people to be motivated on the warm days. That's where your living room and your creativity come into play.

It's funny when your routine changes--either in a minor way or in a way that completely shifts your life--how hard it is to fit certain necessities back in.
We're sort of starting from scratch here in Arizona. New house, new jobs, new doctors, new almost everything. And since my benefits don't start until Sept. 1 (holy crap is 90 days a long time!), I've been without the nearly constant companionship of Dr. C for about six weeks now. While I know he's always available to me and said he would keep in touch and continue to monitor CareLink when I update until I get a new endo, the distance somehow makes things different.

I feel like I've been getting sick for about a week now. I was just feeling "off" after last week's finals. I decided it was due to lack of a balanced schedule, the added stress, and being a woman. So I generally ignored it, going on with my daily health routines.
But Sunday, I woke up with that "blah" feeling. It's worse than "off" because you really do feel sick, but not sick enough to just curl up in bed. My blood sugars were a little elevated. I felt like I might be getting a urinary tract infection (figuring it was from my crazy numbers in the last month) or being graced with "that time of the month."

I've been anxiously awaiting today for several weeks now. It's the mix of fear and excitement that can't be explained. Because today I met with my new endo and my old CDE (from the pediatric days). And today, I'm completely bittersweet about this disease.
The endo was quite amazing. She's fairly young, seems knowledgeable, but most importantly we seemed to be pretty much on the same page with this whole thing. Not only was she in the room before the nurse finished the finger prick, blood pressure, and weight checks, but she spent over an hour with me personally. I'm in awe, the drop your jaw on the floor kind of awe mixed with the standing ovation type of awe.

I made my four work-outs this week! Yay me! I am pretty sore tonight, it might qualify for Tylenol before bed. We've been back from vay-cay (vacation) for 1 week tonight. Routines are settling back in, all the laundry's done, etc, etc.
I was sore yesterday too, but I keep reminding myself that this is good. Plus the exercise seems to open my lungs better than any other bronchitis treatment. My trainer has me moving to body-weight exercises, also known as resistance exercises. I wasn't familiar with the term but I sure remember the exercises - squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches, etc. They do seem to make you more evenly sore than the machines or free weights. They are nice too because they require nothing but your own body. Can't very well give the excuse "I don't have time to go to my own body"!

Tags: bad habits logbooks Logging skipping boluses

For the past few years, I've gotten into the bad diabetes habit of skipping boluses. Not food boluses. But blood sugar boluses. I have the habit of foregoing boluses when my blood sugar is 160 and under. I'll see a 140 or 155 and skip the bolus instead of bringing it down to 100. But above 160, I'm good about bolusing to bring the number down (something about those 180s and 200s scare me into submission).
I know that this extremely bad habit leaves my averages a little higher than they should be. And I'm not sure exactly why I do this...maybe over the years, a 150 doesn't seem so bad. Maybe I just get tired of so many injections a day so I leave off the "unnecessary" ones. Maybe it's some habit that I started in my childhood.

Where to even start...?
And that is the point, you don't know where.
When someone is newly diagnosed with diabetes, where should their educational journey begin? Sure, there is the inevitable hospital stay, and the chat with a doctor, and possibly a self-injection tutorial (for the insulin requiring crowd), but what is the next step... after the hospital scene?
