Since this is becoming more than an experiment, I’ll finally confess who I am.

GERD
I posted a comment on his site — I am described quite while in this article.
DB’s Medical Rants: Chronic cough and GERD
FYI: The GERD does get better with weight loss. And also, preventing dawn syndrome tends to aggravate the GERD.

Diabetes Magazine
I got a copy of this magazine a few weeks ago. Subscription price is a big high, considering the amount of advertising, but good articles.
Welcome to the Diabetes Interview Homepage
Their free internet newsletter is good too.

Back to work…
I planned for an easy day — besides kids need the TIME! to get caught up. Most are behind.
I am a bit disappointed with spring break — I was exhausted from Thursday morning on until yesterday afternoon when I got a chair massage. I have been waking up at night.
When I am tired, I tend to eat. For some dumb reason, I always hope I can get some energy for food but it doesn’t work that way.
Honestly I think I overdid the exercise thing too much. I think I set myself too high of a goal and Wednesday was the worse. I am setting my goal much lower this week.
Someone here at school did comment that they thought I had lost weight. I have one of those scales that shows both weight and percentage of body fat, and here is the weird thing — or maybe not — my scale is howing a couple of pounds higher, but at least 4 percentage points less fat. That means I’ve gained more muscle than I’ve lost fat doesn’t it? And it makes sense with the amount of exercise I did last week.
My blood sugar is a touch high — I haven’t had to add insulin (though I did this weekend) — so still within parameters, but not as low as I like.
I do have a personal trainer appointment this evening, and I plan to limit cardio to 30 minutes on trainer and weight days and 40 on regular days. We do do quite a bit of moving on trainer days.
