Health & Diet - Goal Update

I am currently working on a couple of other new blog posts, but I thought I would stop to give a quick update on my goals.

At the start of this journey, my 14 day average for my blood sugar was over 200, at the last update, it was at 187. I am excited to say that less than a week later, the average is down to 164!!! I am only 2 weeks into this process and I am already more than 1/2 way to my first goal of getting my blood sugar averages below 150!

Weight loss has not come as easily as managing my blood sugars. I mentioned before that I have PCOS, and it has always impacted my metabolism. Losing weight has never been easy, but DANG, I feel like losing weight after passing 35 is even harder!!! I have lost weight, don't get me wrong. There is just something about 3 pounds in 2 weeks that feels like my 30 pound goal may not be obtainable... Time to add in the exercise.

Yes, I am complaining about not losing weight and I'm not exercising yet. They say that something like 80% is diet... Well, my blood sugars are proof that I am doing better there... So, WHY oh WHY won't the weight just melt off??? I am complaining and grumbling, I know. Tell me you have never felt the same way or thought the same things?

One of my goals has been to walk. I've slacked on this as I was on my cycle and, let's just be honest ladies, I didn't FEEL like getting out of bed, much less going for a walk - one of my upcoming blogs is on the pain pf periods. Plus, there has been a LOT more rain around here, which just furthered my reasoning for not going on a walk.

The walks start TODAY! We, because my DS goes everywhere with me, are going to go for a 1 mile walk now and a 1/2 mile walk before bed... Ready, set, GO!
