Waterfront Walk -- 2.8 mi.

2.8 mi. w/ poles. Poles seem to pick up pace, elevate aerobic level. Probably about an hour. Colder, walking after dark (7 PM), w/ jacket, gloves, hat.

We need to get motivated to recover fitness, bike, weight work. Review the entries and have a look at the peak conditioning last summer when riding the bikes. Diabetes should be controlled w/ diet/exercise, weight loss.

Another Sunday --

Motel living, a week and a half now, is getting arduous, boring, frustrating. We managed in the dark about 45 min. walking along the waterfront. Let's call it 2.35 miles according to Google Earth. Blood sugar was down this PM 123 this AM and 105 this afternoon.

Weight is stable. Food routine is getting stressful. I'm not able to readily access a variety of foods.

Sunday --

We're walking into 3 Cups from Best Western, about 0.8 mile one way. It's COLD! Frost on the pavement. Weight was 219 this AM, 26%. Blood glucose was 100 at 5 AM.

Saturday night we got sick from Fred Meyer deli chicken ("honey glazed" Jeez!) and the cole slaw -- second, fourth, and six ingredients in the slaw are corn syrup and "dextrose." We returned it -- sick feeling, flushing, over-heated, gastro-distress.

We're getting the motel eating dialed in: turkey breast, lo-carb whole wheat tortilla, low-fat Jarsburg Swiss, onion, tomato, Dijon mustard, in the microwave. 1% milk from the motel breakfast cafeteria.

I can't imagine my house will be ready for a move-in on Monday.

Wednesday -- November 16, 2011

Water Heater failure -- spent the morning mopping up, then 2.14 Peter Johnson.

That evening was stiff/sore from the mopping up.

Thursday we moved into Best Western, we're walking up the stairs in the motel, walking to 3 Cups. Wt. this AM was about 216. But glucose counts are fluctuating -- as high as 158, irregular diet/schedule.

Not able to export Accu-Chek data to online sources.

Back At It --

Peter Johnson -- short route, 2.13 miles, about 35 min. w/ poles.

218 lbs, about 28% my blood glucose was running 128 yesterday, and then down to 93 in the evening after fasting. I'm wondering if I can load the charts and graphs from the software onto this blog?

Sunday --

Ended up watching a movie until about 2 AM, stuffing because I'm tired and bored. The regimentation in the diet is grinding on me a bit. I'm not quite dialed-in on intervals and portion sizes.

Yesterday I did end-to-end on Peter Johnson. Today I flaked out a bit and later did a walk from 3 Cups to the Post Office to mail a letter -- 35 min. Weight is edging up at 221, 28% and Blood Glucose (BG) teetering in the 100 t0 125 range, even after eating.

I could be doing worse. I binge on frozen strawberries (2 cups w/ non-fat yogurt), but at least it's not jelly beans and candy corn. I need to eat even when I don't feel hungry in order to keep things on an even keel. That's complicated by a lack of schedule, routine,

Catching Up

Tuesday we did Peter Johnson (end to end), 2.83 mi. 50 min. 218 lbs more or less.
