biggest loser ...again

I gave up on the show last season. I just couldn't get in to the group and the trainer changes. ( no Jillian) I didn't watch the current season. Actually, I wasn't sure when the last season ended and the new one began. Until today--I had a great morning, was inspired, had about a 90 minute pool workout. Hit Kmart for some savings on cleaning supplies and other items, but then dipped in to a bag of something on the way home from the store. Sigh. Two steps forward , one step back. ( Same thing happened last night-great day, screwed up at the end.)\

Then I got back on track. Spiniach salad, tuna, pineapple, and greek yogurt while I was going through the cable On Demand menu. I saw a boatload of Biggest loser episodes. So I started watching. I think I started at like week 4, and kept watching about 4 episodes. Between and during those episodes, I exercised a little, cleaned the kitchen a little, ate a healthy snack, cooked a healthy breakfast quiche and roasted some veggies. I went to the Nbc Bl website and caught up on who these people are and their starting weights. I'm not sure I'm entirely back on the BL band wagon, but I admit it--I was motivated. The BL had inspired me from the beginning of my weight loss/ healthy journey. I have a soft spot for Bob. Byt , It has it's faults and I've had my complaints. I think I'll start watching episodes On Demand while I workout on my elliptical (which had collected a little dust, I'll admit.)

Woo hoos-I had lapsed in the checking of my blood sugars. Since losing over 100 lbs my Diabetes is in good control. HGb a 1 c is at 5.6 even with the last little bit of weight gain and I'm down from 2 to 1 Diabetes med. I recalibrated the monitor and checked the controls and WOWZA--my blood sugars are better than ever. Fasting bloog sugars in the low 90's and random blood sugars in the 80's. Even last year when I was at my lowest weight, I didn't have those numbers. I guess I'm doing enough right.
Though not perfectly. I have a check up with my doc coming up soon and will get my cholesterol levels/ hgb a 1 c done.

Blogger is looking different , sorry if there are issues.

    I was not loving the new blogger, but I think I have it figured out now :)

  2. I watched one season of the BL and that was enough for me! I'm diabetic too and want to get the rest of the weight off to get my numbers in line...they're just a tad bit high. Your #'s are fantastic! Yes, it sounds like you're doing plenty right. Good for you, girl! :)
