A short re-cap

Hi folks!!

I haven't been online much lately. I've let baseball season consume me more than I thought possible. (who am I kidding?? I AM an addict after all right!?)  I haven't had a drink in 23 years, a cigarette in 22, haven't overspent in ONE week.  That's been harder than anything else so far. I traded one addiction for another and another and another....I guess that's a recurring theme for many of us.

I just had my two year surgiversary yesterday!! I'm seeing my nutritionist on Monday and was just fitted with a continuous glucose monitor along with my insulin pump. I've had type 1 diabetes for 40 years now and have lost most of my sensitivity to blood sugar changes. I feel like the insulin dependent Borg....(resistance is futile)!  I'm having trouble sticking to my protein program AND exercise. This past week I've been better about hopping on the dreadmill and lifting weights though. I just need to make the effort and keep it going!

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling good!!

Hugs,
Marie

Happy Surgiversary Girlfriend,
I have been preoccupied with the birth of my grandson.  I hear you on the addictive tendencies being hard to kick.

One day at a time. 

I also hear you on the baseball addiction.  I am right now going through Phillies withdrawal, as I am in Tigers country.

Huggles,
Trish
