The good news, is that I am starting to adjust to the new teaching schedule. Last week, I was able to do at least 25 minutes of cardio each day. I was also able to do my scheduled weight training each day.<\/p>\n
Even better news is the weight loss. According to my scales, I’ve lost 10-15 pounds since school started and I’m starting to see a new decade. I’ll confess. I was seeing 28x on the scales for a LONG LONG time. Lately I see 269.x once in a while. When I weighed in this morning I was at 270.2 pounds.<\/p>\n
Again, big hint — use scales that show the 10th if you are trying to maintain a slow weight loss. That’s helped me more than anything.<\/p>\n
In other related good news, my insulin usage has continued to stay low. It’s the combination of weight loss, symlin, teaching schedule, and exercise. The last two days, I’ve been under 32 units a day. That’s from a high of 120 units a day! My average insulin usage right now is 36 units a day. <\/p>\n
I’ve had to titrate down my boluses and corrections again, and have to keep a close watch on my blood sugar so I don’t go low.<\/p>\n
My body fat percentage hasn’t changed much, but I am okay with that.<\/p>\n
I am starting to see some improvements — yesterday I did an agility demo, didn’t bring out my chair and was able to stay on my feet longer without pain (foot and back). Again, that’s something I’ve been seeing every day.<\/p>\n
I’m still not seeing much in the reduction of gastric reflux disease, and I really wish that would dimenish. Part of the problem, is that it is worse when I am low carbing, and I’ve been doing a lot of that lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
