I was surprised when I got on the scale this morning I had been hoping I would be below 195, but I never expected 192.8! It was not as great for exercise the past few days, but I did see the recreational therapist and he started me on a machine-less circuit that is designed to help me build core strength and stability. I thought it would not effect me, but boy am I sore the day after I do it. I am supposed to do this series of exercises 3 times a week.
I need fitness things that will make up for the fact that I can't walk as much outside now that we are heading into winter. The rec guy, who is also a kinesiologist, is going to help me figure out how to safely use some of the machines at our recreation centre later in the month. The square dancing gets me moving twice a week, so that is a help.
I see my doctor on Tuesday. I saw the nurse/diabetes educator this past week. Over the past three months my A1C went from 9.4 to 5.9. That means that my blood sugar is in the normal range now. My blood pressure is also very good. It may mean that the doctor will reduce some of my meds. That would be a good thing.
Anyway, no complaints from me today! I hope everyone is having a good weekend and is heading toward a great week.
