Finally I'm seeing the scale moving in the right direction... but I'm only down about a pound and a half from the start. Still, it's good to see the move in the right direction.
Problem with me is that the first forty years of my life I was thin, and in the first thirty years, I was down-right bone-showing skinny. I could eat what I wanted and never had any concern with it at all... though maybe I should have.
In any case, with the advent of the computer I found myself quite sendentary, which is not something that I ever was. But, excuses are just that, excuses! So today I'm Type 2 diabetic, but it is well controlled with just a pills and watching what I eat. But that poses some challenges as I don't eat very much at any sitting, but I find I have to snack in between meals just to keep my sugar from dropping... which on really busy days it has a tendency to do, like down below 60. (I've learned that I have a lot more concern for hypo-glycemia, than I do from too high levels... as I've never been over 200.)
The snacking is more difficult to control for me, I think as I'm a person who has a headache almost every hour of every day. So physically, I get the feeling that maybe I need to eat something... or should I. I have having to walk around with the glucose monitor every hour.
I do a lot of label reading, as sometimes those so-called "healthy" foods have far more sugar and other carbs then I need to partake of.
But at least I'm now in the right direction with the scale... can I keep this up? We'll see, but obviously I'm going to be way in the back of the pack of runners. Some of you folks are showing remarkable effort, and I hope you keep up the great work.
