My diet has still not gotten back to where I need it to be, so I’ve given myself an ultimatum. Tonight, Saturday, March 20, 2010, is the last day I’m willing to accept myself eating just any kind of food. Starting on Sunday, March 21, 2010, I need to get back to my regular training […]
I hate the wind, but I’m still loving the ride. It’s been a really windy week or two–which is mostly, but not always a nice thing, because when there’s no wind here it’s voggy and hot. But the wind has been so strong recently it’s made outdoor exercise a challenge. It’s a challenge I’m taking […]
It’s a milestone entry, coming right at the time I decided to battle inertia and get serious again about training. I’ve already blogged about my failures in training starting with Oakland and the difficulty I had at the Great Aloha Run. I also have had some special occasions, including a baby shower and a friend […]
I don’t like to watch what I’m eating. I’m certainly not one to count calories or carbohydrates although I do take a look at nutrition labels a lot. However, the fact that my sugars have been higher than they used to be, I’ve had to watch my diet a lot more closely. I’ve already pretty […]
This is a cross post with my other blog, Uncommon Cents: As those of you who read Uncommon Cents know well, I’m frugal; for those of you who read Athletic Diabetic know well, I’m trying hard to keep my weight down, my blood sugar down, and my conditioning up. So one of the intersections of […]
I’m a little worried. While my training has been going well–maybe better than ever as far as running goes–I’m still not feeling 100% myself. I’ve had a cold and the cough that it produced is still hanging around. And I went to take labs for the first time in awhile this morning and my fasting […]
My diet has been lacking the last few months. I’ve known this was going to be an issue and my recent lab results show my hemoglobin a1c at 8.9, a far cry from the 7 it’s usually at and the 6.1 considered normal. This despite the fact that my exercise schedule has been reasonable if […]
My body weight has come back to the high 180s, much more acceptable than the low 190s I was just a couple of weeks ago. The big issue was that I was overeating, and not eating the foods that I was making myself. I was getting way too used to eating out and not as […]
I slipped again. After a pretty nice week in terms of working out and diet, I encountered illness and stayed up way too late on Saturday night. In the process, I went out for a bite to eat and the only places open anywhere close to me were Jack in the Box and Denny‘s. And […]
I’m about 90 degrees into a 180 degree turn. I haven’t been doing that well with my health and fitness recently–once I was done with the century I started a downward spiral and my way too busy October dragged me down into it further. But it’s November now and that part of my life is […]
