Hi Sheila,

You are doing great. Losing weight should keep you motivated. Just think

about those " skinny " clothes you will soon be buying.

I don't know how you are exercising now, but if you walk 10 minutes 2 or 3

times a day that will help a lot. Another idea, when you are exercising, don't

think of it as exercise, think of it as " my time " . I just got back from a

30 minute walk and I feel so much better. I listened to the birds, watched

the cows in the field, talked to my dog. Even though I was walking, it was

relaxing to me. I do all kinds of day dreaming when I'm walking. I plan a

meal, I think of how I want to change things around in our house, how I want to

do my flower gardens this spring.

When you feel you are losing the momentum, let me know and I'll give you

more ideas.

hugs

Eunice - where it is warm weather again.

Hi all~

I just want to thank you for your support, especially Eunice, since my

diagnosis (Type 2) in January.

I had my 1st follow up appointment since being diagnosed:

I've lost 20 pounds.

My AC1 went from 7% to 6.6%

My doctor wants me to increase my exercise from 1 or 2 days a week to 5

days a week.

With this said, I feel I'm losing my momentum. I find it so hard to

stay motivated.

Anyhow, I hope everyone is doing well.
