Dread: Your Time Will Come (Movie Review) - News - Bubblews

Update: Week 13

Finally, another update! Here is my 13th update (although it really is like the 18th week because I skipped a few updates).

Friday I saw my nutritionist again and got a lot of good news. Lost almost 7 more pounds. Found out my a1c result. 6.7 percent (or 147 average). My goal is to get the average under 140.

My nutritionist also gave me the Just Dance 2 for the Wii as a christmas gift! It's a lot of fun, so I would recommend it for anyone looking for a fun workout.

I cannot think of anything to add to this update, so until next time...I will talk to all of you soon.

Update: Week 10

This week I lost about a pound, and I feel glad to be getting closer week by week to my goal. I am less than 2 pounds away from losing 40 pounds since I started. At 12 more pounds I will have lost 50 pounds! Still a long way to go, but I am excited to get there.

Not much else to update this week.

Until next week, I will talk to all of you soon.

WEEKLY WEIGH IN!
Lost .6 this week.....bringing total weight loss to 30 pounds!

Update:

This week I met with my nutritionist (and Diabetes Educator) for my montly check in. I got the results from my blood tests from the other day and have great news to report. I lowered my A1C. It was 10.7 when I tested and was diagnosed with Diabetes 3 months ago. Now it is 7.1, that is a big drop. Losing weight has helped a lot, as well as taking control.

Some people neglect to take control and end up in bad situations. Some think that since they don't show symptoms of bigger problems that they are fine and then find themselves losing valuable things years down the road.

I also had a test to see if there was any damage to my Kidneys. Results were great. The normal/good range was 30 (whatever units of measurement) or less, and my result was a 6.

In about a week I will found out what my level of Vitamin D is.....and see if I need more or less of that.

Anyway....that is all the news and updates I have for this week. Until next Friday......I will talk to all of you soon.

* [this is blood sugar levels first one in the morning, second after a meal. If there is a third it is because the second was too high so worked out to lower it]




Lost 2.2 pounds this week, bringing the total to 29 pounds!


I had a doctor appointment this week. Mainly just a checkup and to see what tests the doctor wants me to take. Next week I will have another a1c test to see if overall I have lowered my blood sugar in the past three months. I will also have a vitamin D level test to see if I need more (most likely because most people don't get enough). Also a microalbumin test to see if there is any damage to my liver. That's especially important because I do not know how long I have had diabetes.

Next week I will update with the results to the tests. Till then, I will talk to all of you soon.

Weigh In - 7/30/10

This week I lost 2.6 pounds! So far I've lost 23 pounds, and have 82 to go!

Update:
I have been working out at least 30 minutes a day (as you can see at the beginning of the post), and trying to get better with eating. I am not a fan of fruits or vegetables so it is hard to get them included in my diet. I also don't think I have been getting enough calories everyday. I should consume at least 1200 (up to 1500) but somedays I can't get enough. So still learning as I go.

Next week I meet with my nutritionist again, and I will talk about that next week.

Trying to keep my blood sugar controlled. There is an easy way to lower it: exercise. 15 minutes has proven to lower it a lot.

Till next time, I will talk to all of you soon.

Update on Health.

So for those that know, I was recently diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. There is too much in the explanation of what diabetes is, so I won't go into that....but for me I am sure part of it is being overweight (obese, actually) and genetics.

So, Friday I went to see my nutritionist who explained what the disease is and how to, of course, eat better. I am hoping that I can help stablize my blood sugar by losing a significant amount of weight. For now, my final goal is to be 100 pounds. I could go down to around 90 for my height but I don't want to be underweight.

So that is where I am heading next. As much as a lifestyle change as I can make. I hate vegetables and fruits (besides apples and potatoes....and salad when I can stomach it), so I am going to just eat those and whole grains, and try to cut back on sodium and carbs and sugar.

Walking 30 minutes a day which is around 2 miles, uping it as much as I can everyday. Eventually I want to be able to run those miles so I can eventually run a 5k or even a marathon.
After I get back from the camping trip (starts Tuesday) I will add kickboxing, dancing, and various workouts. Hopefully when finances allow, I will also get a wii to add some variety with that.

Once I get comfortable with this, then I will start working on the mental stuff.

I will update here maybe once a week, or so and let everyone know how things are going.
