Today is January 21, 2010 and today I need to wake up, stand up and take responsibility for my diabetes. No more false starts, no more I'll do it tomorrow and for pete's sake no more starting today and blowing it tomorrow. How many starts does one person get? I guess as many as it takes...... at least I hope so.
I was diagnosed about a year ago, after losing 12 pounds thinking my numbers (cholesteral and sugar) would be better I get...."you have diabetes". Wasn't that a surprise, I had been borderline for years. You know the fear of the unknown plays a great part in getting your act together but then time passes and nothing happens and I get lazy and hungry, and lo and behold I'll just figure I'll cheat a little and then get back on track tomorrow.............whoa that is always a mistake for me. Oh by the way, I am going to start excercising tomorrow too!! It amazes me that something else always comes up and I have to start my excercising another day (that has yet to happen).
My biggest wonder has always been, if I want to do this so badly, if I know deep down how important it is, if I think about it everyday, why can't I just get started??? So I am here for self accountability, today I will start to do it right. I will monitor my sugar and get a grip on my carb addiction and yes oh yes I will start my WII fit.......TODAY!
Wish me luck and good luck to all of you out there who are in the same place, congrats to those of you who have already started and for those of you who have done it you are my inspiration......I hope to meet people, make friends, share posts and offer any support I can to anyone who needs it.
Thanks, Patty
Well I had a decent start.....kinda. A start of any kind is good I think. I did do my 45 minutes of excercise last night which I am happy about. At first I got home late, had to get things done then thought "oh well I'll do it tomorrow". I sat on the couch turned on the tv and got ready to be there for the night. This is the same routine night after night so I decided if I waited until tomorrow I'd be right her back on the couch planning to start on the next day. Up I got, and the funny thing is I really enjoy my WII fit and I feel good after I finish. So last night began my serious and determined start to do what I know I've been needing to do for a year, probably more then that. If I had done this when I was borderline diabetic maybe I wouldn't be diabetic now.......but lets leave the negative out so I am positive about my start and vow to keep it going. Now I just have to work on my carbs!!!!! (somehow I think that will be more of a challenge). I know writing all this down will help me stay on track and be accountable for what I do and what I need to work on.
Have a good day!
