New med

 February 20, 2021

Just started a new to me medication.  Literally this morning for first dose.

Invokana.

I told Doctor J that I didn't really want an injectable since I have enough trouble with the finger stick of the glucose meter.  He understood.  I am really good about taking my pills.  But... really BAD at the glucose test.  If my sugar control depended on an injection, that would be a bad thing.  

Blood sugar this morning was 166mg/dL.

I'll do more testing this week, to see what it does.  

YAY!
I already have to pee.  (side effect, sorta, of the medication)

feeling down

 i haven't left the house for several days.

way too cold. (double digit below zero sort of cold)

wanted to go to the gym, couldn't convince myself it was worth it.

my sugars are really bad.  (232 mg/dL last check)

i'm kinda depressed about it.

wonder if it's even worth dealing with.

so tired of taking pills every day.

don't even want to do my physical therapy exercises, even though those do help my back.

might have a touch of s.a.d. 

my diet is terrible, and it's all my own stupid fault.

i know how to eat healthy.  but i don't.

Push ups (part deux)

 FIVE!!!

then finished off with 15 modified.  

:D
My goal of 20 pushups (unmodified) is getting much closer.  I do a few more every day.  

Push ups

 I have done THREE consecutive UNMODIFIED pushups!!!!

:D
Much joy!!

That's it for now.  

Evolt image, take 2!

 So, John showed me how to do a thing.  :)

bwahahah!

Much cleaner.  Learning stuff, for the win!

Evolt day

 January 29, 2021

There's my news. 

LOTS of good information on that page.  Like my BMR (not be confused with BMI).  

My body composition is pretty good, just need to lower my fat content.  LOL!

I'm symmetrical ... arms and legs are basically 'the same' within a few ounces.  

I hope that image is readable.  No idea.  Obviously I took a picture of the paper.  

Gonna do it again in a month or so, see how much I've changed (if at all).

There's the promised evolt image.  Still haven't taken the 'before' pics, but I still consider myself 'before', since I'm still basically where I was when I started this whole thing.  But, on the plus side, I haven't gotten worse.  :D

Stay well, my friends.

Doing better

 January 15th

I'm doing a bit better with my PT exercises.  got home and did them yesterday.  Did them the day before, as well.  I think that feeling the twinges when I didn't do them, will make me do better for doing them.  Since there's a distinct negative reinforcement going on. If I do this, then that negative thing gets removed.  Yay for Psych 101.

Speaking of which... gonna go do them right now.  All done.
Positive reinforcement: feel stronger.
Negative reinforcement: no back pain later.

I'm at 188 pounds right now.  I still want to lose more weight, but I like food.  Sigh.  Still under 200, though.  So that's a win, I guess.  (I'm 45 years old, LOL.  I don't care about societal norms.)

Oddly, I had someone tell me "No way!" when I said I weighed almost 190 pounds.  I guess I hide it well.  At least until someone asks me when the baby is due.  

Well, that's today, I guess.  
Stay well, everybody!
