Yes, I’m losing weight. Yes, I’m feeling better!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m now taking 33 units of 75\/25 mix — twice a day. That’s down from a maximum of 36 units. I haven’t had to supplement with regular insulin for over 5 days. All very measurable goals.<\/p>\n
I’ve lost at least 10 pounds from my insulin max. Probably closer to 15. <\/p>\n
I really recommend going to a good gym, that is supportive. Get a personal training and do resistance training and cardio. I don’t believe in working out to the point it hurts the next day. For me, that will encourage me, NOT to come back.<\/p>\n
I play lots of games to get myself to the gym. I keep a set of clothing to exercise in there. I keep a few CD’s there too. I keep bottled water in my car, even though they do have water for sale. I keep my Mini-Disk player in my bag, with my favorite tunes — 4 of my favorite Jimmy Buffet albums on one disk.<\/p>\n
The gym helps too. They have a contest right now, where you get a card punched every visit to the gym. You get a new card after 8 punches. I just turned in my 6th card. They are going to have a drawing for Barton Creek Resort at the end of the quarter. Winning would be nice, but what I like seeing is those 6 cards. Plus the personal contact in getting the cards punched.<\/p>\n
Next week they start a short contest, I’ve already signed up for it. Again a drawing, this time they are using tokens, based on activity. <\/p>\n
Head games help. And erasing all the excuses does too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
