I'm back

I am back.  My conference went well.  I loved having the gym right under me and ran six miles a day but not all at once.  I also did yoga in a class and did a lot of walking.   My conference stuff was great and I did spend a lot of time relaxing. I got home a bit ago and hubby is doing great.  His sugar is in the 150s. 

Glad it went well.  Great job with the exercise and yoga.  Especially glad for the fact that your husband did well with his sugars.

Hugs,
Trish

His sugars are staying pretty low, so the medication, diet, and exercis is working.  If I don't exercise I feel so guilty, so I do dance, walk, run, and yoga at least one or two of each every day.

 Sounds great!!!  I was prediabetic and on cholesterol medication in my 40s, because of my weight.  My doctor gave me a good talking to about the dangers of diabetes.  A man at church has lost a leg because of diabetes.  He does not follow the diet recommended for diabetes.  Since my WLS, my sugar has been fine, and I no longer need the cholesterol medication.  I just need to get my exercise increased.  

God bless.

GREAT news on both counts!

I am all about the exercise and when I walk with DH, we walk at a snail's pace, but it does him really good.

Glad you had a great trip. Also happy you were able to keep up with your exercising! When I am at a hotel with a gym I always use the excuse that I don't have the proper shoes to work out. I need to take my tennis shoes with me everywhere so I don't have that excuse anymore!!

When I travel, I wear my running shoes.   I do that because I want to drive or fly in comfort and I want to be able to do fast walking in the airport or the gas station or whereever I am.  Then, they are with me and at the hotel, I have no excuse.   The gyms are great and you can swim, run, lift weights, or ride a bike.   I did the elipitcal but I did not like it as much as running.

Welcome back!! Glad you had a good conference!! Wish I could run again! But my knee will not let me not to mention this old body...I can walk fast and that is about it. Never was one to run even when younger.

Congrats to your hubby for getting his sugar down!!!! Can't wait to hear news on his new eye!!!

Running was something that I did a lot of when I was young.   When I started running, I would walk fast, then walk real fast to the point of running for about a minute, then slow down and then bump it up for a minute again.  When I actually began running, I thought it would kill my knees but I did running just like walking fast.  IN fact, I had forgotten how to run.   I had to learn how and that was a difficult thing to do.  But, I finally did get it all together and now I run--not like the young kids--but I do get the legs going and it burns the calories like crazy.  

Plus, it makes me feel so good and the endorphines that I get from running are like taking large hits of speed and the feeling lasts for hours.   That's why I run in the middle of the day.  

But, walking fast is just as good and is effective.
