Today was one of those reality check days for me. It wasn’t a bad day, but it was a day that consisted of a lot of thinking about some serious issues and concerns in my life. The two main were wealth and health, and there is about 5 variations to each of those, but I’m not going to get into all of them here. First up is my health, because that obviously comes first. My blood sugars have not been very good over the last several months and there are two main reasons for that. Lack of exercise (what a surprise) and overeating (what a surprise as well). If you have been reading this blog for a while you are probably thinking, we hear this same shit over and over Chris. Well ya know what, you are 100% correct and I hear it from myself all the time to and I am just sick and tired of hearing it, saying it, using it as an excuse, and typing it.
There are no excuses for the way that I have been treating my health, as there is nothing wrong and doing whatever I want. The buck stops here (no pun intended for my northern readers that are out enjoying the beginning of bow hunting season). I have literally thrown out everything in my house that is not good for me. I know it is a waste of money, but I don’t even care anymore about that. If it’s not good for me, I am not going to buy it or put it in my house. I kept some sugary stuff for low bg’s, but the “healthier” things such as orange juice, other types of juices and of course some Skittles (those will NEVER go away).
I am also trying to save some money for some important things in life, wedding, house, and most importantly a mother-effing boat! In order to save this money, I have to cut out a lot of extra spending which is pretty much eating out several nights a week which leads to the over eating and then also leads to the lack of exercise because by the time I get home from eating out, I don’t feel like going to the gym anymore.
I have plenty of motivation to do all of these things that I want to do, but I just haven’t turned the motivation into action yet. Tonight I have. I am blogging for the only the second time in almost 2-3 months, I am going to the gym, I’m not eating out, and I am eating healthier then I usually would. I said this same thing two weeks ago and it only lasted two days, but this time I know it is different, I feel like I’m Lindsay Lohan and going to rehab only to get arrested 2 days later.
I’m a type 1 diabetic and have had the disease for about 12 years. It makes me tired. I also have issues with the diet and the exercise but I try. I have found something that helps me manage my blood sugars better, it may help you. I want to say that I do sell this product and that I use it to help manage my diabetes. It’s not a cure but it is a tool and it helps me with my energy levels and sugar levels. My website is http://www.lifeionizer.com/feelgood. Whatever you do, I hope you continue to try to fight this persistent disease. Take care, Joe
Well, that is just the thing. Excuses are only as good as the one who accepts them. Congrats on kicking your own butt into gear. I hope to see more hunting episodes from you, and all is good. Keep at it, and you will improve.
I find that the more you exercise, the more you look forward to it. Before my DX, I would cringe at even walking an hour regularly. Now, I will get up tomorrow and do yoga at 4 AM. What a change. Remember we are here man, here to give you the inspiration brother!
