Oh, joy, oh joy; I do NOT have Diabetes. About 3 weeks ago I had a blood sugar test that was higher than normal and the doctor said stay away from sugar and sweets until you see me in three weeks. Did that. Not as hard as I thought it would be 'cause I was reaaally motivated. When I saw him this week I had lost 9 lbs., my blood pressure was down, the swelling I've been having in my ankles was down and I was able to report that I was exercising more and feeling much better. His good news was that the second test that I took, something more than blood sugar, indicated I was not diabetic....YET.
Bottom line: I have gotten past the craving stage, am really motivated by the weight loss and feel like I've been liberated. Enough medical talk.
I am already preparing for Florida; can't help myself. The plan is to leave about Nov. 5 from here and Rich will fly back on 14th ; will be on my own until they return in January. Some time or other my kids will come down and that's when we'll have our holidays whenever that is.
I'm already working on Christmas presents ( I am making something this year) and trying to figure out a way to avoid trucking those down there. If you're on my list you just may get a Christmas gift in early November.

Glad you are feeling good! We have been doing South Beach and I've lost 13 pounds in phase one (two weeks no carbs, no sugar, no fruit, no wine. Yikes!) BUT I feel better and I'm over the craving stage and now we can introduce stone ground whole wheats and fruits and sweet potatoes. my back has been feeling a bit better too - maybe it's the weight loss, maybe the weekly traction.. hard to tell. So stay motivated!!! You can do it! Blah blah blah...
Hugs.
Seems we are all motivated in one way or another. I started a DVD exercise program called Walk Away the Pounds. I've lost about 7 pounds and feel much better when I get out of bed in the morning. I love program. SO ~ stay motivated, I know we can all do it!
