Weekly Update

Well, I've been sort of slacking on my weekly updates lately....I've been slacking on exercising and eating healthy as well. Especially the eating healthy part. Exercising hasn't been too bad; I haven't really done any dvds, but then again I haven't wanted to. It's summer, and I want to be outside.


I think my biggest problem with exercising is that I am afraid to. Back in February, I attempted a few more intense activities (snowboarding and skate skiing) and had a lot of problems with my glucose level. Well, the problem has continued somewhat....back about a month ago now, I went biking and ended up having to drink two full cans of regular pop to get me through the ride. These haven't stopped me from going out, but I have been more hesitant to go.


But as well, I haven't been feeling that great lately. Part of it is that I haven't been as active as I have been in the past (ever since about February I haven't been very active at all because school got in the way) and I know that exercise does make you feel better. But I have been rather discontent with my life in general lately. That started back around December, but disappeared when I was busy with school. Lately, these feelings have resurfaced.

I feel as though there is something I should be doing that I am not. But I'm really not sure what it is. I was talking to a friend about it, and he thinks that I may be feeling like this because I don't really have a whole lot to do right now. (Of course, that makes me think I really should be exercising as I don't appear to be doing anything else....but where the heck is all my time going?)

As to the food delimma, my family and I are going to be eating the GI way as of tomorrow supper (I have some leftovers from supper today that I will be eating for lunch first. They're not terribly healthy). The GI diet worked before for us....we were using it not as a diet, but as a lifestyle change. But then Christmas happened, and we never got back to it. That was two Decembers ago. I am hoping that this time it will stick!

So for the next week, I am hoping to get a bit more active than I have been lately. Today I mowed the lawn, then walked for about an hour and a half, so I think that's a good start. Wish me luck!
