This isn't a great, feel-good post. I'm doing it for motivation and shaming myself. I'm tired of this stupid diabetes dance that I do with my doctor. I take the pills. I alter my diet for a bit. Then I remember how much I like potatoes. Then I circle the drain. I don't test my sugar. I know it is high. Ignorance is bliss.
This post is when I looked in the mirror and stated, "This has to go." while my hand was resting in my gut. A man shouldn't have a gut.
So that is where I was after the holidays. I get a backbone and take a weekend off up in a city I wanted to spend more time in, Winona Wisconsin. I don't eat carbs. Just veggies and meat. Get my mind right about carbs and what I need to do. After coming back home I talk to Tracy about things. I want to do things this summer. I didn't do much last summer. I have vacation time and I want to use it becoming healthy. I also look online to see some of the biking trails that I came across in my travels. Ok. Here's some goals.
1) Get bike into the shop. Fix some of the things that I'm having issues with.
2) Exercise daily. I can still watch TV but do it while riding a bike. I need to crank it up over time because I have to get ready for long rides.
3) Stop eating garbage. I know it is comforting but it is killing me. I need to lose at least 30 pounds.
4) Get time scheduled with Tracy so we can do this biking.
5) Do these paths. Most are 40-50 miles. I can do that in a day. One is probably 2-3 days.
