A New Start

Time to get serious again.   I just got my first Blood Glucose Monitor today.  I am going to start monitoring what I eat and how I feel after eating.  Plus I will be monitoring my blood sugar.  Hopefully, this will get me on track.

Since there was a Diabetes Awareness fair going on, I also got tons of literature.  I am only borderline, but I don't want to become Diabetic.  The doctor said that I am right at the cusp.  If I lose weight and watch what I eat, then I will not become diabetic.  However, if I eat wrong and don't lose the weight, then I can become diabetic any day.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are on the verge of becoming a diabetic. My hubby is a bad diabetic, and I watch him give himself three shots a day of insulin. Not a fun disease to have. I hope you will be successful in watching your diet and losing weight. I know from experience losing weight is not easy. Good luck in your efforts.

Oh, Wakela do you know your site address? I wanted to put a link to your site on my blog, but it won't take it - always gives me a message saying can't locate site or something to that effect. I must be entering the address wrong or not doing something right.

Long Time No Post

Well, I finally got rid of my old website. I just couldn't handle all the spam comments I got on a daily basis. I might have some of my posts saved to my computer. If so, then I will put them into this blog. In the meantime, I am going to try to become active in blogging again. I can't promise anything. I had gotten so discouraged by the spam, that I had completely given up.

Review–An Apple A Day

Image
  Image via Wikipedia Book Description   From Old Testament proverbs to modern phrases like "the best things in life are free," An Apple a Day takes a fun look at expressions that "have stood the test of time." Read through from start to finish or search through the list of hundreds of the most common proverbs, arranged from A to Z for easy reference. You'll learn about each proverb's surprising origins, why some are valid and others are not, the derivation and meanings behind them, and their relevance in today's society. Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century.
