Well I've been on my wieght loss program for a couple of months now. I started out at 295, & am now down to 273. I really dug the exercise bike I bought , & the bowflex. Since then I have bought an eliptickle, & some of the bowflex "selectech" dumbells. I've kinda gone hogwild...I'm riding the bike 30 minutes for a "warmup" then I do my crunches, & pushups. Then I do about 20 min of wieght lifting...Then I get on the eliptickle. I'm having to work up to doing it, for some reason I find it very difficult, but I wanted to do something that was wieght bearing.... then I get back on the bike for another 30 min...then do about 15 mins of streaching.Been burning over 500 calories a day in my workout.
I have cut back on my food intake. Kinda easy to do when I think about how hard I'm workin to burn the calories. Most days I have a bowl of cereal in the morning, a Subway "wrap" sandwitch for lunch & a salad for dinner.
Today I turned 51 years young, & my goal is to get down to 189 by this time next year. That is what I weighed before I gained all the wieght when I was driving over the road.
I really haven't noticed my diabetes getting better regulated. As a matter of fact my last visit to the doctor for my "blood work" he raised my dosage of meds again. He's raised it the last four times I've done "blood work" . So I was a little disappointed, since I had started working out by the time I last went to him. ...BUT I've lost about 12 pounds since then. So I'm hoping by the time I go back, maybe at least I won't have to up my meds again. I can't afford to go on insulin injections, since I drive a big truck. If your on insulin injections you CAN'T drive a big truck, and I need this job!!
