As I have mentioned in several posts, included the last one, I’ve been doing iShape — http:\/\/www.iShape.com It’s owned by the people who do Shape magazine and Muscle & Fitness (I think), they have a men’s fitness magazine too.<\/p>\n
It’s working well. I’ve lost somewhere between 15 and 20 pounds, and that’s comparing doctor’s scales too. And iShape isn’t just for women.<\/p>\n
In 13 weeks, I’ve gone from using 70-110 units of insulin to 50-70 units. I’ve rarely gone above 70, lately. <\/p>\n
Here’s what I am doing. <\/p>\n
I delete their meals, and log mine. I already use a local service called Diet Gourmet. If you are in the Dallas area, they are super, deliver, and prices can’t be beat.<\/p>\n
That accounts for about 1600 calories a day, and then I pick and choose as much low carb snacks as I can, but maintain saturation.<\/p>\n
My goal is to eat 600 calories less than iShape says I burned. I don’t always do that but it averages out.<\/p>\n
I’ve got it set up to give me weight workouts 5 times a week. And I also have it set up to give me 7 cardio workouts, but it usually only gives me 5.<\/p>\n
I usually do exactly what the weight workout says. If I don’t have the equipment, then I change the exercise that does have it. I have a stability ball, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 pound weights, and that seems to be enough. I keep watching for when I might need to buy 20 pound weights.<\/p>\n
I always do what the cardio says as a minimum. I usually do 20 minutes on the off days, but sometimes I do take them off. Lately I’ve been adding swimming. <\/p>\n
Other good news, is that I’ve been able to get up in the mornings and work out. <\/p>\n
I do have to watch my blood sugar levels more carefully. I have had to made some adjustments, and I figure on making more as we go along. I am seeing my CDE once a month right now, so I know I have help coming at any point. In fact, I see her on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
