Comment on Broken Promises by Eric Hays-Strom

Dan, are you saying my writing fits that description? ‘Cause if so, thank you! My blog writing is, generally speaking, stream of conscious. I sit down, words start to flow, and other than a few changes as I go, I assure you, there’s no 2 hours of editing. Most of my work is done in less than 30 minutes. The few that DO take more than 30 minutes do so because I’m writing in between segments of work!

Anyhow, thanks for reading!

I’m impressed that you put up three a week for the first month! Something we can read in 5 minutes takes at least 2 hours to write and edit (and probably closer to 4); essentially like having a part-time job.

What about your church? And your new property.
Or EXCEL of the Midlands ?
ATG from the past and your involvement with the EC.

Just some food for thought.
Love ya’

Before I go further, let me assure you and all readers, the fault for my failure to test is mine. Period.

That said, I suspect part of the lackadaisical approach I’ve had to testing comes from my own doctor telling me it wasn’t necessary to test xx times a day. As stupid as it is, I need the direction to test after each meal.

So, now that’s my goal. A 5:30 “fasting” reading, and 3 tests during the day, 2 hours after each meal.

I take Metformin. And I’m already discovering what those side effects are!

Jogging is definitely out! However, I’m positive that you are 100% correct about Ixchel enjoying more walks! I’m sure chasing her big sister/aunt Princess Nikki around the yard is not stimulating enough.

I honestly believe that EXERCISE is going to be absolutely essential to this effort. As mentioned, my cholesterol is basically good, but my HDLs are very low. According to my doctor exercise is one of the few, and probably the best, way of increasing the HDLs.

So, in the coming days, I’ll be developing a new exercise routine.

We don’t test every so often. We test every day, several times a day, to make sure our levels are moderate and controlled. I test before meals in the morning and after dinner, but not too close to a meal because they end up on the high side. I take Glyburide, Metformin, and Januvia. You gotta watch your weight and sugar intake with sodas or juices. Don’t let it get so outa control.

Stay well.

Stay on the wellness path, Eric! You’re facing a real challenge, but you’ve risen to the occasion before and lost weight. I predict that little Ixchel will be glad for more walks (or jogs?) with you. Your health is in my thoughts and prayers.
