  • naturally speaking

    Naturally Speaking really works! I’ve always liked it, but it is a really good these days.

    That should help me get along!

  • I want it and I WANT it now!

    I just got another naming questionaire. This is driving me nuts. I WANT IT NOW!

    When I was pre-oping, the nurse said she’d seen a patient with one.

    I want it, I want it NOW!

  • Things you aren’t told….

    I just went through the Pre-Op Stuff on my surgery, and guess what I just found out.

    Yeah, I’ll go back to work on Monday but with a huge bandage on my arm.

    For two weeks.

    At least.

    Fun….. and I’ll let everyone know how one handed shots go. At least I just converted to, and just got a pen for my sliding scale.

  • Argh!

    I have been tired and exhausted the last two days.

    I’m not sure why, but I have been

    I’ve made it to the gym, I’m keeping my sugar under control, though have had to supplement the daily dose both today and yesterday.

    I’m playing hookie tomorrow so I can get the tests done before carpel tunnel surgery on Saturday and can get laundry and other weekend chores done, since I probably won’t be able to.

  • Tax breaks for fitness

    Medrants talks about tax breaks for fitness to encourage insurance companies to provide fitness benefits.

    Actually my school district is already involved — we get discounts from several different clubs — and payroll deduction. We also get a discount to other clubs through Cigna Insurance, our health care insurance provider.

    However, I’ve chosen a gym that is smaller, closer to the house (I have to at least think about the place on the way to work), and is the corporate gym for Club Corp — the largest golf club management company in the country.

    Years ago, when I worked at Texas Instruments, they had several corporate gyms convenient to the work place.

    So it certainly isn’t a new idea.

    And FYI, the easier the gym is to get to, the easier to work out!

  • Still with a glimmer

    That five pounds, plus a couple more were missing this morning. It’s always been Monday morning that has been the most frustrating.

    Hopefully I’m off the plateau and will STAY off.

  • I have a glimmer of hope

    As most know who have been following this, I’ve been losing the same 5 pounds for about 2 months.

  • ..continued

    Made it in the pool this afternoon and sort of did 10 laps.

    Sort of means that I moved up and down the length of the pool 10 times but I didn’t swim every part of it. Did a lot of water walking.

    Blood sugar was at 104 at dinner, so I’m decreasing my daily dosage down again to 28 units twice a day (56 total). Since my high was 36 units (72 total), I’m doing pretty well.

  • Still frustrating — but met my exercise goal

    I am still losing the same 5 pounds.

    BUT on the good side I met my exercise goals for the week.
