I actually love exercise and feel sad if I don't do it. Just got back from the gym and did my weights - I didn't talk today :roll: so got it done in 50 mins.
I like how you think about chowing down, its lunch time now - yum.
My friend use to go to curves and gave it away after 2 years, all they do is pull the tape measure tighter when they re measure you so you think you have lost weight. She never changed in the whole time she was there - so save your money and go for a walk instead - I walk 6- 7 kls a day 5 days a week and sometimes a 6th day.

Am I getting towards the end?
Ugh, 50 more to go, I'm still in the thick of it.
Least I get to chow down after this ordeal!
Sometimes I have an intelligent thought spur me on though. Like, aren't I lucky to have a healthy body that has four fully functional limbs? Not everyone has that and they work out more cheerfully in a wheelchair than I ever do. Guess I'm a poor sport but I'm trying not to be!

OMG this made me laugh...this is exactly how I feel! i hate exercising even though when its over I like the feeling. i used to go to gym too, but I got tired of looking for parking every time and then waiting for machines...hell no! i canceled the membership and now I walk. But not every day as I should. I am not motivated. I went on diet but I know I have to start jogging/ walking every day to lose 10 lb before my vacation in May. Sucks being over 50.
I can't believe how much weight I've allowed myself to gain.
I was diagnosed roughly 12 weeks ago I did have gestational with my last baby who is now eight so it all fits in timewise as they say about seven years post baby it may appear, that with the fact that both my parents were type 2 meant that this came as no surprise. I am on medication and have in this space bought my readings down to an average of 5.6 from 14-16 at time of diagnosis so pretty darn wrapped about this. I am now exercising daily either walking or swimming or hitting the gym and have fast become a bit of a junkie as just love the boost a good workout gives me plus the fact that I can hit a reading in the 4's after a good workout as well!!!!!!. I am motivated to do well with this as I have kids that I want to see grow up healthy and give me beautiful grandbabies to play withchicklet said:I have a doctor's appt tomorrow and I'm afraid that maybe I've slipped over the edge into type 2 diabetes as well. I've been close for a couple of years but have held it at bay by eating better and exercising. For the last 3 months or so, though, I've been back to my old eating habits and have not been exercising. Why, when I know better, do I do this??? *sigh* I know it does no good to beat myself up - I just need to get up and get going. Lynnz I am inspired by your post - tell me more!
. I am nurisng a guy of the age of 59 who with poorly controlled diabetes ended up having a massive stroke and is now peg feed and has no muscle control at all even his neck needs support for turns but he is cognitively astute and totally aware of what has happened to his body, communication is very limited. Sooooo sad and another driving force for me to keep myself focused and doing good things for this body of mine. Let us know how it goes at the docs!!!!! we need to be looking after ourselves............................got to dash off and do the schoolrun will check the thread later today
Lynnz said:Okay hows everyone going with Christmas looming???? I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and gone on a radical lifestyle change........This is my forever way of eating and I have seen some impressive turn arounds in my BGL's and feel amazing. To date I have dropped 12 kilo (have a fair few more to go) and looking forward to becoming active in this thread
