No “Days-Off” in Diabetes

One of the things that diabetes has really trained me to do well in my life is plan each day. Diabetes does not give me a day off, so I cannot give diabetes a day off either. Blood sugar checks are planned: about 10 times each day. Each meal is planned: three large meals and two smaller meals. Each workout session is planned: four to five days a week.

Ive always wanted to tun run a marathon, maybe Ill finally be inspired..

The great outdoors beckons us with warm weather and longer days during the summer, which makes it the perfect time to go outside and have fun. Whether it’s a game of volleyball or a bike ride through the neighborhood, the outdoors can be a breath of fresh air for your exercise routine.

Love the fresh air in my nostrils as I go for a run, hope you all find your exercise passion

Some great exercise tips
