Weight and Inches

Well, I weighed myself a few days ago, and also measured the inches on my waist and hips. The weight is a bit higher because it was during my period. But I was excited that my waist and hips are slightly smaller than they were back in August. So even though I haven't been as active as I was a year or two ago, I seem to be doing okay. Hopefully things will continue this way in the months to come! I've been doing yoga every few days, and I'm going to start adding some cardio back into my days (dancing dvd's, here I come!)

Crunch Super Slim Down

I like having pictures on a blog, so this is sort of an excuse to spice things up on here. I just finished my second time through the Crunch Super Slim Down: Pilates Yoga Blend. Suffice it to say, I really enjoyed it!

For my full review, check out my other blog here.

New Blog!

In an effort to go through all of the fitness dvd's that I own, I have started a new blog. In theory, every week I will be choosing a new dvd out of the approximately 40 that I own. I'm going to try out the dvd during that week, and then at the end of the week I'll write a review of it. I'll be giving more information on each dvd than I do on this site. I thought that this would be a good way to actually try all of the dvd's that I own - I own over 40 of them, and a good chunk of them have never been opened! You can find the new blog here.

First Skiing Success!!!!!

Earlier today, I went skiing. And my skiing adventure was a success! At supper, I did only 1/4 of the insulin that I needed. And then I had only 1/4 of my basal working the entire time. My glucose was 12.4 mmol/L when I started out, which was good. (I didn't feel altogether terrible, the way I do when I start off really high).

We went the normal, lighted way to the Northern Lights trail. Stopping to do glucose, I was about 9 mmol/L. I got around the entire trail, and was about 5 mmol/L by the end of it. I had a few glucose tablets, then Jackrabbitted back. Through the whole adventure, I did not go low (although I needed the help of a few glucose tablets to get through).

I'm so excited - it looks like I may have found the insulin dosages tha work for me while skiing!!!!

Another Skiing Adventure

Friday night I once again went skiing. This time, I decided to do half of the insulin required with supper, and 1/4 of my basal while skiing (although my calculations turned out to be more along the lines of 1/3). But things were sort of against me from the beginning: I started out low before supper.

I got to about the same spot as last week when I did glucose; once again I was low. I ended up stopping to eat something while my mom went on ahead. She met up with me again, then we took the Jackrabbit back to the chalet. I was doing fine when we got back and I did glucose once again.

I guess the next step I'm going to have to try 1/4 of the insulin with supper. I'm not entirely sure how much basal to try. I just hope I'm getting closer to figuring all of this out!!!!
