Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
This post originally appeared on a blog I no longer maintain. Today is a day to remember. (I posted this originally in 2007.) I remember it clearly. There was a staff meeting that day so I'd driven up to Buffalo (an hour and a half drive)for the 9 AM meeting. In fact I had turned... Continue Reading →
When I pulled the last post I noticed that last week's weight was wrong. And the goal to lose weight was wrong as well. Not sure how that happened. The correct weights are listed below. I was a little surprised by that newest number. My exercise has been a fraction below the recent norms. Meanwhile,... Continue Reading →
A tough month for bicycling. On the positive side, I conquered the Cap2Cap trail for the first time. That is a 52 mile paved path that runs from between the historic first capital of Virginia, Jamestown, and the current one, Richmond. My first attempt was cut short when I did not balance my blood glucose... Continue Reading →
And now we're back. Getting out of the eating routine means some slight variation, but only a small one. I do need to get re-focused. I am falling into the trap of "Oh, just a little bit extra won't hurt!". Except when it's a little extra over and over and over. Suddenly it's a serious... Continue Reading →
Taking this week off from the reporting. Exercise has been extremely difficult. The Heat Index in Richmond has been around 100-105 most of the week. Strenuous exercise has been curtailed. Diabetes numbers are generally fine. Headed off to a weekend wedding, so I'm just going to take a break this weekend. Will still work on... Continue Reading →
Not a lot of change, which is fine. Conquered a major exercise goal, which is great. Otherwise, it's been another quiet week. Did some eating at the ballpark, which wasn't great. Also had a bad day on the employment front. More about being told there would be a decision and not hearing, than an absolute... Continue Reading →
I've been thinking about something that former President Ronald Reagan said. "Trust but verify". He was talking about the Soviets. I was thinking about all the drivers on the road with me. I've mentioned in previous posts having to adjust to so many other folks sharing the road when I'm riding in the city. What... Continue Reading →
A holiday week did some damage. Not unexpected, so I'm not worried about it. Could have been much worse. Exercise has been off a little, eating was off a lot. On the diabetes front, all is quiet. Got a new finger sticker! Just did the longest bike ride in about 7+ years. Went well, overcame... Continue Reading →
Wherein, I rat myself out. One of the great things about New Year's resolutions is that, by this time of year, everyone has forgotten that you ever made any. But I did make some (HERE), and the idea was to work towards them all. So with half the year behind me, it's time to see... Continue Reading →
What worried me turned out great, and what I thought would be great became a problem. I'm still learning as I go. First, the good news. The semi-annual check-up with my Primary Care Physician went as well as any visit to the doctor in my life. The test results were entirely positive. A1C, DOWN! In... Continue Reading →
