Weight Loss Reality Check

Posted by Chris on Feb 28, 2011 in Diet and Weight Loss, Exercise and Diabetes | 5 comments
I finally re-scheduled my endo appointment for the middle of March and of course, once again, I am nowhere near the weight loss goal that we had set at my last visit.  And to make things worse right now, I re-injured my knee and can’t really do any physical activity because I am afraid that I am going to tear my ACL again.  I will be making an appointment with an orthopedic doctor and hopefully there isn’t anything wrong and I will be able to get back to exercising like I was before.  I can’t jog, and I can’t even go for a nightly walk anymore because it hurts too...

What Is Your Most Creative Fundraiser Idea?

Posted by Chris on Feb 23, 2011 in JDRF | 1 comment
It’s about that time of the year again to start preparing for the local JDRF walk.  I was really excited about this years walk because my mom and dad were thinking about flying down to Florida around that time and they were going to do the walk with me, so that would have been fun.  Unfortunately, the scheduling didn’t work out and they have to come down the following weekend.  I need to go online and create my team and start preparing the e-mails and letters and all the other fun things to try and spread the awareness and collect donations.  Sometimes it can be tough to ask...

Forgot to Reschedule Endo Appointment, Oops

Posted by Chris on Feb 16, 2011 in Doctor's Visits | 0 comments
It’s been a while since my last A1C and my last endo visit.  I had an appointment scheduled in January, but it was cancelled because the doctor could not make the appointment.  My main doctor is on maternity leave, so the doctor taking her place has her own office and there was a scheduling conflict, so she had to cancel mine.  I just realized today that I never re-scheduled a new appointment, so I need to call tomorrow to make sure that I get a new appointment soon. I was supposed to lose at least 5 pounds by next visit, and I guess you can say, luckily I got sick these last few...

Stomach Pains Kept Me Worried

Posted by Chris on Feb 15, 2011 in Doctor's Visits | 0 comments
So the last few nights and days I have been feeling a little under the weather.  Starting Sunday night I had cramps in my stomach, but didn’t think anything of it.  Then Monday while I was at work, I started to get really sharp pains in my stomach.  Eventually it got to the point where I couldn’t sit at work any more and I had to go home and lay down because it hurt so bad.  All day yesterday my stomach would hurt anytime that I stood up for a long period of time or even just sat up.  So I just layed down all day long.  I was becoming worried that I was going to have to go...

Long Week, But Feels Short

Posted by Chris on Feb 10, 2011 in Living Normally with Diabetes | 0 comments
Is it really Thursday night already? I could have sworn that I just woke up for work on Monday morning.  This week has been one hell of a week.  Traffic this week has been worse than ever, it is ridiculous.  Yesterday morning, there was a fatal crash on 95 involving a motorcycle, so my heart goes out to the family of the man that was killed.  It was pretty crazy to drive by that accident and see the motorcycle under the car, ya kinda knew what happened when you drove by. It’s sad news and makes me realize that when my 35 minute drive takes me two hours, that I should just be happy...
