  • Exercise – Getting Back – Week 2 – Day 2

    I really like the fact that iShape is taking me back into a program, very slowly. Today was weights only and that was a good thing.

    Effect of Lowering LDL Cholesterol Substantially Below Currently Recommended Levels in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease and Diabetes: The Treating to New Targets (TNT) Study

    My endo has me on Vitorian and is working hard to bring all my values down. I kind of blew it the last few months but I think I’m doing better now. Part of it is just keeping the blood sugar control tight too.

  • Agility Trial

    Just finished the first trial of the fall season. Blood sugar was wonderful. Never over 188 the whole time but I also did not eat. Left with blood sugar of 127.

    Our runs:

    Maggie had a decent first Excellent Standard run with her usual problems. Weaves, table, and had problems with one tunnel.

    Marcie had a nice standard run. I was ready to pull her. She did everything but go through the last tunnel. I pulled her out by going too far ahead for her.

    I messed up two jumps for Marcie. She ran very well. Looks like she recovered friom the pancreatitis.

    Maggie had problems with the weaves, then I missed up a jump and then later she lost focus.

    I am real pleased with all four runs.

    We only got into the one day.

  • Exercise – Getting Back – Day 1

    I’m just finished my iShape program for today and my goal is to get back to the program.

    I had to quit because I injured my knee a few weeks ago, and besides the fact that it hurt to walk, I didn’t have time for exercise AND physical therapy.
