I am still working to lower the weight.

With this type 2 diabetes treat that life has presented me with, I have found that, even without sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sugars, my blood sugar goes way up when I get overtired or stressed. It would be nice to keep life on a level but that is impossible. I am down from 159 to 136 and I feel much better than I did last summer when I thought I was going to die of weariness. The goal is 125 pounds or less. Dad and I can now walk a block in about a minute and a half. The problem is that we keep getting quicker and so we have to walk further because we walk for 50-minutes. About twice a week I end up going by myself but that is OK. It was really windy yesterday and Dad had a hard time because of his hearing aids. Today, it was still windy and he opted out. Even though it was cold I worked up a sweat.
