time to get back on track
Ok, the last three months I’ve been as lazy as a three-toed sloth and ate everything in sight. It was so easy. Eat and punch a few buttons on my pump. Then I noticed that my jeans were fitting a bit tighter and my blood sugars weren’t quite as good as they had been in the past 6 months.
Friday I had my 3 month checkup with my pump doctor and got the crappy news. I have gained 20 lbs in the past nine months (since going on the pump) and my 6.6 A1C in December had climbed up to 7.6. My blood pressure was also up. NOT GOOD!!!!!
I started eating sensibly again over the weekend and my blood sugars are better. I’ve also started walking just a little bit, too. The drainage ditch right in front of our house has a bridge on 22nd street and another one on Cody Ave. Each lap around the ditch is .5 miles, so I’ve made a goal of walking two miles every other day (and hopefully more as the weather gets better).
I want to weigh 30 lbs lighter by August. We’ll see!
