I weighed today, and of course, checked my blood sugar, and even after the few excursions in the last week or so, and even with the higher insulin usages, between the agility trials, the workshop, and the holiday season, my weight is still good, and the blood sugar is good.
The next few weeks will be “different”. We’ve got one full day of class left, then 4 days of exams, then a little over 2 weeks for break.
I’m going to a weekend basal rate for the duration.
I’m working on a few projects to make things better. I’ve been having trouble doing longer walks on my treadmill. A lot of the problem is boredom — when I do exercise, there isn’t a lot of good TV on. I’ve decided to at least switch to a digital cable box so I can watch movies, but I’m also thinking about putting DVR box in that room. It’s a bit more expensive each month on the cable bill, but if it will keep me on the treadmill longer, it will be worth it, and I can always change my mind.
I’m also thinking of expanding my weight routine. I’ve about convinced my husband that a weight stack would be worth it for me, and I might get something small for Christmas. I have been thinking about a fold up unit, as I am starting to run out of room the study.
Some good news, my GERD isn’t bothering me as much. Even my pizza night, I didn’t have problems. I think what has helped more than anything is to stop eating salad in the evening. I like to get a really salad, with lots of lettuce and while it fills me up, I think it’s just too hard to digest in the evening, so I am limiting those to the afternoon.
