Beginning of the Beginning


I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle which starts with exercise & improving my diet.
I've never been one to try fad diets. I found out I was a type II diabetic about 7 years ago. At that time, it was enough to scare me into losing 35 lbs (which I put back on).
Now, I'm getting older & can feel the extra value meals in my gut! LOL Instead of trying extreme dieting, I'm trying to learn how to eat a balanced diet & incorporate a healthy exercise regime into my schedule.

Fitness Minutes: 1,568

My Goals:
My goal is to regulate my blood sugar by diet & exercise rather than taking medication.
I also hope that by living a healthier lifestyle, my husband will come along for the ride!

My Program:
 It all started with motivation. Motivation to change the way I was living my life.
I joined a gym & have been going religiously since mid-June 09. I also completed my first fitness "bootcamp" and have signed on for another one!


Personal Information:
I live in Hawaii. And NO, I don't live in a hut and dance hula all day while my husband catches fish in his canoe. LOL

    What's up? I saw you won't be blogging? Did someone get on your nerves? Hopefully nothing too bad. Sometimes people can be so thoughtless with their comments.

    Hi, thanks for stopping by my page. Glad I was able to help cheer you up a bit; nothing worse than having someone who doesn't "get it" completely disrespect your efforts like that. I'm still at the puny/puffing wind stage of my workouts right now and I want to drop-kick her, ROFL!

    Your background photo is fantastic; Hawaii is so beautiful! No grass huts, huh? (Hee!) That made me laugh, thanks! Best wishes on your weight loss/fitness goals and best of luck on managing your Diabetes (that's a rough hand to be dealt, for sure)!

    Thanks for the nice comment on my page. I think that's partially why I've fallen off the wagon is I was overwhelming myself with the planning. Sometimes I just find it hard to fit it all in but I know that it can be done! emoticon

    Had to tell you that your Personal Info comment made me chuckle. Years ago when I first moved to the mainland, I had to deal with people all the time asking if I had lived in a grass shack. Didn't realize that people still think that. LOL
