The Motivation Just Keeps Coming

Ok, so I guess I need to get hit over the head with things sometimes. I got the results back from a test from the doctor that I had the week before Christmas. Even though the main results came back normal there was a slight indicator to her that I may have pre-diabetes. So. . . I now have to go in a week and a half and have a fasting blood test to see if my blood sugar and lipid panel are still within normal limits. I had this done about a year and a half ago and everything was within the middle to lower normal limits. I'm taking this as a sign that now is the time to do this. I do not want to be diabetic. There is no way I want more medication or have to stick myself with needles. And if you know me - you know how I hate needles.

That being said - I have a great success for today. I only have 2 cans of soda all day, actually drinking the second one now. AND I drank 3 - 16 oz bottles of water!! Took my lunch to work and no snacks. I'm on my way.

I have a lot of great support and several friends and family members who are going to join me. One cousin has issued the challenge to join her on the US Bank 40 Flight climb in March. I took her up on it, just want to prove I can do it I guess. It'll be fun to . . . I'll have to remember to bring the inhaler.

I've come up with several ways to get exercise. I can actually walk laps in the underground garage where I live and even though my VCR/DVD broke I can use my laptop to so exercise videos. I just have to get up and get going!!

Now is the time! I've got to do this!!
