'Pardon me while while I burst, into flames.' - Incubus
I am getting upset. I have not been planning the right stuff. Salads. I love salads, but the protein bowls from Subway drop my otherwise safe 130 blood sugar to 40. Shaking because of the low scares me.
My doc was ecstatic that my A1c is 6.5. He wants me to try to exercise, and I think that I might do the recumbent bike for like 10 min, and build up, but hell, I can tell you all that I hate exercise.
My doc asked me if I *wanted* to be on all this blood sugar meditation. I said no, and he said that I need to exercise. 'That is going to be the only way of stopping your meds.'
He told us that we could have four months for me to get used to the exercise equipment. Usually I see him three months for diabetes checkups. I think he is confident that I can do it. He said it will be like the last time. It'll start out slowly. Not to do everything at once.
My mom trained me on how to use the elliptical, so I have access to both machines. My mom quit her morning exercise, and that's the main reason why she stopped (according to her, it wasn't doing any good. She has a strong heart. She watched me as I went backwards on the elliptical. It seems that I work easier going backwards.
My mom knows I can do it too. Because I lost that 100 pounds in 2003-2004. I ended up loving exercise. I could *see* the results. My parents, initially thought it was good to lose some weight. They ended up saying that I was too gung ho about it.
They felt that I was going too far. My dad came over to the apartment I was living in at the time w/ my then wife. She showed him the book we were going through. She was making 3 servings of each thing already, and I was still losing. My body fat was probably 14-15% but we never checked it. I was 145 with a 29 inch waist. I was at the peak of my initial training.
It looks like I am going back there again. My brain doesn't want to. It was hard living on 1550 calories. Really hard. According to my dietician, I was burning approximately 4000-6000 calories each day. So Tammy (the name of my ex) started making more. She was in shock that I did not have enough food. She increased it to the threshold of 6 small meals. I bought salad after salad at the hospital each night. (I was on graves at the time) And I loaded it. Chicken, cottage cheese, olives; anything I could put on it.
This helped for a time. Too bad that I am not the same as I was, and my brain saying no. It's been 18 years. Sedentary life is better, my brain says. I have a varied playlist on my computer through Spotify.
We'll see what I will do for exercise, and for telling my entire life story, or my marriage for a year. Tammy lost 60 pounds on the same course I was on. It changed us both. But it wrecked it in the end.
Oh well! Time to eat breakfast. ttyl!
