I have been eating basically the same food at the same time since December 28, 2021. Up until May 1st. I was taking diabetes medication just before both meals, but that began to make my glucose drop too low since I lost the last few pounds. For the past six days I have been able to maintain a good glucose level without any medication as long as I eat right and walk at least twenty minutes a day.
I don't have to walk hard, or fast, just stay upright and keep going for 20-50 minutes a day, often holding the handle of a shopping cart to take the strain off my back. It's a routine and normally I'm not good with routines, but this one is necessary if I want a quality life and it has taken years to figure it out.
It feels a little like magic, like a child's game. Step on a crack, break your mother's back, only in this case if I just don't break the spell, I can keep on going. The plus sides are many, but the one I am enjoying the most is that I've lost 55 pounds since this time last year.
The only problem right now? I have so much more energy, but my back is not strong enough to support me doing all the things I want to do. I have to balance out standing and sitting while those muscles get stronger. Otherwise I end up like I did a few weeks ago, at the prompt care.
Imagine. Me eating right, exercising intelligently and having energy to spare! It feels too good to be true.
