Yesterday was Day 8...

Yesterday was the hardest time I've had as far as motivation to exercise. But, I did it anyway. 10 minutes stretching, a 28 minute low to moderate cardio/core workout and 10 minute cooldown. I kicked butt...I sweat my butt off and I hit moves that I haven't yet been able to hit! I felt accomplished and great after that workout! 8 days down, 23 to go! I have been building up. I want to get to about 3-5 hours of moderate cardio activity a week and some form of strength training and/or yoga 2-3 days a week. Today's workout is going to be a few sprints of all out running outside no less, in 25 degree, sunny weather. Yes, I am getting closer and closer to "The Primal Blueprint". After I get the activity down, I'll finish removing all sugar, grains, legumes and processed stuff from my diet. One thing at a time!

As for my food intake, at least three meals and one snack Monday through Friday. I even got up very early this morning and had breakfast (weekends are the worst, so I haven't yet committed to regular meals on the weekend, but I'll get there!)

Blood sugar has been running high all week. I think I may have to re-work my formulas.

Day 6 and growing stronger, well, at least in the exercise department...

Tuesday, Jan 5th

Cardio
Lower Body

Ate 3 meals AND 2 snacks. I battled a high after the exercise. I didn't have enough insulin I guess, then ate my small snack of fruit and had to treat the high.

Wednesday, Jan 6th

Cardio
Upper Body

Ate 3 meals (large breakfast, medium lunch and medium dinner) and 2 snacks, then totally pigged out on a slice of cornbread and a glass of milk (my daughter made it yesterday and I resisted yesterday, but today it called out to me). So what did that mean? You guessed it...another high.

Heard in the Diabetes Too household Monday, when we switched from Dish Network to DirectTV and my son lost the ability to record on his t.v.:

"I'm just not going to watch t.v. anymore...pausey (spoken like those commercials that comedian did imitating George Bush) has become vital, MOM!!"
