feeling mortal and this week's goals

i have been feeling quite mortal lately. Diabetes, both type 1 and 2 can kill. The more research I delve into, the more I know I need to make drastic changes...

I am now on a b supplement for my neuropathy(without the cyanide derivative. I had an allergic reaction to it.)


My first goal is to reduce diet sodas with aspartame and splenda, etc. This week, I have to drink less than 64 ounces. It's a lot still, but definitely less than I was drinking.

I have to drink 64 ounces of water per day.

I have to stay on top of my sugars and take insulin accordingly.

I am working on eating healthier meals in general, and eating good, nutritious foods for meals and snacks. that is difficult for me, but I am doing better this week.

My goal is 10 minutes of exercise per day. I know it's small, but I am working on up 8).

I want to focus on losing a .5 lb per week. It's a small goal but I think that's the way I need to go about this.

Whew... It's always something

So glad Dave's bloodwork came back ok. We are still focusing on bettering ourselves and being healthier. We definitely want to focus on our diet and exercise.

One focus for me this week will be to drink 64 oz of water per day. Yesterday, I completed that mission. Hopefully, the rest of this week will be better 8)

I had some issues with low blood sugar a couple of weeks ago along with a bunch of red spots on me. The doctor ended up saying they were probably bug bites, but we think it may be a chlorine rash. We shall see 8). That is getting better, thankfully...

And now, I got a phone call that my yearly exam came back abnormal, so a small biopsy is in my near future. I am nervous, but I know it will be ok. Dave is being very supportive and I am glad of that.
