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"!

Exercise! Do something! I can’t tell you how life-changing exercise and fitness is for me…but I’ll try!

So this morning I woke up, had some coffee and some breakfast, and then worked for 3 hours or so until I felt it was time to get in some physical activity. Since I’m in Florida at the moment I really am enjoying taking advantage of working out in the sun. It feels so good and I love that the sun aids in improving my circulation in my feet and my entire body. Definitely something that you guys out there can relate with.

We all know the importance of exercise and the many benefits we get from it. Today I would like to give some ideas about different ways to achieve a solid workout. Many of us have daily or weekly routines that we follow. We spend each workout doing the exact same thing as before. I want to stress the importance of mixing it up.

For example, if you are a die hard cardio fan then try adding in some various resistance exercises. Let's say that you take a walk each morning for 45 minutes. You might walk the exact same trail at the exact same intensity. Next time, consider the following variations.

I have been exceptionally busy the past 2 weeks. Company from out of town, big project at work and the common cold making it's rounds in our family. Life with an infant, preschooler, full-time job and 1 hour commute is already pretty busy, so these additions ratchet me up to an unacceptable stress level.
What suffers? My bg (blood glucose) levels, meal planning and my milk supply.
I'm trying to restart the weight loss I enjoyed the first 3 months after the baby was born. I feel like I'm on a tightrope - if I eat enough to keep my milk supply up, I gain weight. If I eat low enough calorie to lose weight, my milk supply plummets. Especially when I'm not getting enough sleep. (READ MORE)

It seems like lately I've felt more abnormal than ever before in my life. I've always known I wasn't like the rest of the world. I have always been the different kid, the one who had to eat different food, the one who did shots all the time. I thought that I wouldn't feel so different when I got older. I figured that with time diabetes would be just a part of my life like being a brunette or having freckles. Now I'm getting older and diabetes is completely ingrained in me, but I still feel different. (READ MORE)

Which would you like to hear first? I guess I'll start with the bad news and get my whining out of the way first. The scale is up this week. Granted it's only half a pound, but the frustrating part is I have been working so hard at this. I've been following Weight Watchers faithfully since Thanksgiving and I've only lost about 2 and a half pounds. What's worse is I'm starting to begrudge people at the meeting who lose more than that each week. Selfish, isn't it?
In reviewing my diet, exercise and lifestyle, I'm even more annoyed because I'm eating less food (and healthier food, at that), exercising more, drinking water and even getting more sleep than I had been. But I'm still not losing. What do I need to do? I'm open to all suggestions, except "be patient." I don't do well with patience. (READ MORE)
