I've been really lazy about posting recently. so much to do and when I sit down I relax a little too much.
But I do enjoy reading all your posts even if I can't quite keep up.
My dh has been bored recently so today I took him to Costco. We were hoping for one of those carts for disabled people but there wasn't one available, but he was able to get a wheelchair. I was afraid he would be too proud but he handled it very well. I was so proud of him!
I still need to go out to another grocery store but think that one trip was enough for him for today. It's pretty warm too so now he's content for a while inside in the ac watching tv.
Patty - I understand about the diabetes being a "good" thing in a way. We ate reasonably healthy but it made us think more about what we were eating and about portion size. I was already trying to diet but getting the diabetes dx made me get more serious about it. It's been a struggle...and we've gone through the steps of denial and on..now we are accepting it and making the best of it and it has actually improved our lives and health in some ways. I realize it is still considered a progressive disease but there seems to be more and more evidence that if you control your eating esp early on before there is much damage to your body you can keep it under control and stay much healthier than people used to. I am thankful we live in such an age! And I'm thankful that we woke up and realized where we were headed with our habitual overeating and other bad food habits...esp me. My dh has always been much more disciplined than I and although the doctor would like him to lose about 8 lbs, he really looks fine.
My legs have been hurting me a lot recently...it is not new, comes and goes but hurts more when I sit...another reason I am not posting as much. Can't stand to sit at the computer very long. Doctor thinks it might be my cholesterol med that causes this but not sure as a trial without it did not help. He prescribed a supplement that seemed to help but now it is not
Maybe it's just because I'm not going to the gym these days and my body is telling me to move!
Talk to you all later...have a good day!
