My A1C usually runs at about 6.4 and that's ok. That number could be better and it is my intention. This old body needs to stay a few more years and that will only be accomplished if I do all the right things regarding diabetes. Staying in carb control and taking the meds daily is part of the plan. If I can actually lose all the weight to get into a healthy range, then diabetes may well just disappear.

want to get back to taking care of myself and help my body with the diabetes
-- test & track bs
-- stay in carb ranges; eat enough, not too much
-- take meds
-- destress & rest enough
-- intentional movement

I decided to join this challenge to help me stick to my goal of losing 20 pounds this summer and lowering my A1C.

I decided to join this challenge to help me understand diabetes. My husband has recently been diagnosed with prediabetes and I have been diagnosed with high blood sugar. Both of us have been told to exercise more, and lose weight. I thought this challenge will be helpful.

I am accepting this challenge because I want to be healthier and more active so that I can stop taking medication for my diabetes.

I am trying to get my blood sugar under control so I don’t have to take medication.

yep, me too, focused on good food choices

Trying to eat healthy and be more active but being inconsistent with it all. Need to make this my priority

Really inconsistent with my food. Probably not tracking because I know how over I am..

struggling this spring, so another

priority 1 is to treat each meal/snack separately - eat enough/not too much

the rest is supportive, as able
-- regular sleep, regular intentional exercise, do what I need to do to make food I need available, test/track bs, take meds, intentional moments to de-stress. smile.

My Goals:
Stick to this for 8 weeks
Take Before/After Pics
Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily
Track Food Daily
Stay in my calorie range/one cheat day
Try to exercise 3x week (having surgery in 4 weeks)
Check blood sugars 2x a day
Lower my A1C

My goals are
1. Remove junk food from my diet
2. Move at least 30 minutes per day
3. Read and do all of the activities in this team
4. Check blood sugar alternating days and times

My goals for the 8 weeks are:

1. track food daily
2. exercise 4 to 6x a week if possible

Starting this challenge today. My goal is to exercise more (3-5 time per week), track my food. Any helpful comments would be welcomed. :)

As kids we put ketchup on everything. Now I only use it on a hotdog once in a while

I used to also, now I don't even know if I have ketchup in the house... LOL
I'm tracking my foods and met my Nutrition goals for yesterday

I love meatloaf with ketchup! Grew up eating it that way...still do!

wow I can hardly imagine that! LOL

when I was a kid, the ketchup was deemed veggies for schools... I can remember meatloaf slathered with ketchup!

I found a recipe for turkey meatloaf with 4 cups of chopped veggies in it & it was yummy that way, really moist

Me too... it's easier to get more in that way!

I like freggies hidden, stuffed, smothered, chopped to bits, pulverized, whacked & smacked!
