leeping well so then we add insomnia to the list of symptoms read more july 26 2021 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels depression health heart health lifestyle change mental health perimenopause saturday july 17 2021 still here and mostly healthy i recently quit my job my manager got pushed out and i didn t like the money grubbing route the new dm corporate was trying to push us you know the usual story of same crap payrate less payroll and more work so yeah one less stressor in my life the bad thing about that though is that at least at work i moved not working i sit so guess who joined a gym it me i ve pretty much recreated my cardiac rehab so i do treadmill cross trainer the hated stationary bike and a wee bit of the elliptical because right now 5 minutes on the elliptical kicks my arse but eventually i will get to 20 minutes and then the bloody bike can go the hell away i m doing cardio 3 days a week and thinking about going two days for strength training but i can t lie i find the machines a little intimidating and really i wake up three days a week thinking how much i don t want to go to the gym i make myself go two more days a week might end me haha i m trying really hard to go back to portion control too as i have been kind of sloppy since the start of the summer and my jeans are tight enough to prove it i just bought new jeans i don t want to have to go up a size so i also had to stop buying sweets my sugars have been all over the place this summer no where near where they originally were but still higher than i want them to be i am a little afraid to go to the doctor in august it helps that more fruits are in season grapes strawberries blueberries etc so i get my sweets there and the natural sugars don t seem to piss my body off as much and i still keep a box of sweetarts on the counter for a little snack here and there i mostly know which foods are going to spike my sugars so i can either avoid them or just walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes after i eat walking seems to be pretty key to keeping my sugars in check and my heart happy july 17 2021 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diabetes diet health heart health lifestyle change saturday august 01 2020 rehab or really just physical therapy it s not bad the pt is a nice guy though he s a sports geek and keeps playing the sport trivia game he asked what i was interested in and i said history what i should have said was western history especially women in the west i mean ask me about madams in denver or women outlaws and i m your girl look up mattie silks she was an interesting woman haha so far it s 20 minutes on the treadmill 20 on the nustep and 10ish on the stationary bike i hate it i mean absolutely loathe that bike owwww so anyway i am surviving it but i hope he doesn t think i am getting on the elliptical any time soon haha my a1c is down to 6 4 so that s fabulous and my pcp was thrilled she also told me that if my weight plateaued where it is now that would be okay too we ll see forced cardio 3 times a week in addition to work and walking on my treadmill the other 4 days and i have a feeling i am not quite done i ve lost 20 pounds just since the heart attack but gone down three pants sizes since last october it s getting a bit spendy having to replace all my clothes again okay not really since i ve only replaced the jeans and bras most of my shirts hang on me though so that s coming soon the bra shopping as most bra shopping does sucked especially in the middle of a freaking pandemic so i bought bras on amazon and the first several were bad but it took me ages to figure out that the reason for that was that i was not the same size as the last time i bought bras once i went down a size things worked better and i ve even gone down another size since there s pretty bras in my drawer not just comfortable and functional they re still comfortable too though i only bought one as a trial but i fully admit that since my cardiologist appointment my diet has gone to shit i ve been snacking almost constantly since i get home from work in the afternoon which is not good the things i snack on aren t terrible i love grapes and raspberries but some aren t great saltines have been the big bad this last week and grilled cheese sandwiches on white bread so this week i am going to eat better i swear no more crackers and only one piece of bread and a lot less cheese or at least low fat cheese i did find a recipe for shrimp scampi with barilla protein angel hair made with chick peas lentils and peas i like that s quick and filling plus the sauce is versatile tonight we used the sauce on salmon and quinoa i have promised my daughter culver s before she goes back to university though so there s a rueben coming most likely on friday since i have physical therapy mon wed and thursday so not home until after 5 those evenings and the husband is home before me those nights and therefore can t pick it up on the way home haha august 01 2020 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diabetes diet food health heart health lifestyle change wednesday july 22 2020 woo hoo i m stable when i went to the cardiologist last week my numbers were all good and i am allowed to splurge every once in a while i ve lost 20lbs doc said the weight loss may level off and i said that s fine i look at it as a side effect of the changed diet it s never been the goal and that s true my weight hasn t been an issue for years after years of fat shaming as a child i finally liked myself just the way i was and now i like my body with its uncooperative veins and arteries and because i like living i m learning to like my new life style but there were potstickers and a big bowl of pasta and full fat sauce to be had after my appointment as well as a small cheesecake and yes i told the doctor my plan haha i start cardiac rehab tomorrow i had to fill out a questionnaire thing about diet it asked what i ve eaten regularly over the last year i didn t answer it that way because what i eat now is nothing like what i ate nearly 3 months ago it also asked about what sustained activities i could do without getting winded it listed basic things but also shit like dancing skiing and playing tennis don t know if i could do that because i don t want to do those things i mean i dance around the house but i don t do the club thing or want to take dance lessons forced to do that as a kid not interested now ps parents don t try to make your kid into someone they re not i was never going to be like my older sister and trying to make me made everyone miserable and hey now my sister is chunky too so yes there s still some bitterness there anyhoo i digress i m a little worried about rehab i won t run i m not going to do any of the sport type things i walk my ass off at work and i walk on my treadmill when i am off work if there s weight training involved i m cool with that but ffs i am 50 years old and i have given up most of the foods that brought me joy you re not torturing me on top of that oh and if you don t have times later than 2pm i m not going to be able to play along i can only take so much time off work seriously do most heart attack patients not work on that note i m going to go check my sugar and probably have an open faced pulled pork sandwich and some cole slaw it s splurge night july 22 2020 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diabetes health heart health lifestyle change monday june 15 2020 sweet as candy my sugar for the most part is under control now without insulin this weekend i had a bit of a spike mostly i think because i couldn t seem to stop grazing and while the stuff i was grazing on was mostly good stuff it was all pure sugar in the end whole grain bread grapes and raisins and at one point i broke and ate a packet of fruit snacks the one not so healthy thing haha so when i got up yesterday my bs was at it s highest point in weeks but still not alarming my dietitian and the diabetes educator both said normal range is 70 130 and when i was using insulin i only took it at 150 or above and 150 was the trigger for only 3 units of insulin so still not terrible yesterday my fasting insulin which has been at 120 or below since i maxed my metformin dosage mid june was 156 today it s back down to 96 thanks to less grazing and probably no bread i stuck with fat free sugar free yogurt yesterday for breakfast and lunch greek yogurt is good because it also has protein in it and protein apparently helps my body absorb the insulin i make so when i snack i try to eat a protein and a carb together to kind of balance things out a piece of turkey and a cheese stick or a few crackers or some peanut butter and a banana my diet has drastically changed starting with my beloved coffee there are no more quad shot lattes in my life just a brewed cup of regular coffee with sugar free creamer and a packet of sweetener it s what i miss most but it was all sugar and carbs so it had to go my cardiologist actually told me that caffeine can prevent a second heart attack so i can still have the coffee don t get me wrong come pumpkin spice season there is a psl with my name on it but only one egg yolks are mostly out though i still occasionally have a whole egg the yolk is where most of the nutrition is after all taters white bread pasta rice all the white things are pretty much out as well i have turkey sausage a wee bit of potatoes and egg whites with low fat cheese and a few tablespoons of green chili without pork for breakfast occasionally whole wheat pasta isn t bad but we actually found a pasta made from peas lentils and chickpeas with protein and it s really good barilla in case you want to try it but oh gods ground turkey is the worst thing i have tried so far veggies are my new bestest friends and i drink at least one can of low sodium v 8 juice a day just to make sure i get enough veggies for the day june 15 2020 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diabetes diet food health heart health lifestyle change tuesday may 19 2020 chh chhh changes over the last two weeks i ve had to drastically change my diet everything white is out since if i am going to eat carbs they need to be higher value whole grain breads whole wheat pasta brown rice the brown rice by the way is a major learning curve and we re still learning even my coffee habit has changed i ve gone from at least two quad shot flavored lattes a day to one cup of regular coffee with sweetener and sugar free creamer first thing and a second half regular half decaf cup later in the day and i actually eat lunch when i come home for lunch instead of just drinking coffee it s only a container of fat free sugar free greek yogurt protein fiber and minimal carbs all in one go without having to mess with chia seeds or oats at night obviously the biggest adjustment has been the sugar free thing i like my sweets despite the fact that sweeteners are better now there s still an obvious taste difference and at the moment because my sugars are up and down like a fiddler s elbow i can t even eat fruit to get my sweet fix life is spent balancing good carbs versus bad carbs and protein and eating salad lots of salad some day i may be able to indulge every once in a while but that s not going to be today so i will get my steps in at work and once my treadmill gets here friday walk on it every evening after dinner when my blood sugar tends to spike the worst and hopefully wrestle my cholesterol and sugars down to acceptable the good news is my blood pressure is already down to acceptable thanks to meds may 19 2020 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diabetes diet health heart health
