Woke up this morning and started my day with yoga! That, Rodney Yee is one amazing man!! I continued with 10 minutes of meditation and then hit the gym for my 30 minutes of walking. I’m up to almost 2 miles in that time!! After that, the day continued to be beautiful!! What a way to start the day. Hope everyone is fairing well and moving forward!!

Needing some prayers, guys. Kind of fell real hard. Not sure what it is. Maybe stress eating or have been temptedby parties and such going on around me. I’ve made such good progress, but the last four days seem like old habits. I know better. Why can’t I always DO better? Thanks for praying!!

In reply to: kzaleski posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes Wow, reading some of your progress is discouraging for me. I am on day four, and still can not get my sugars below 230. Although, I was hovering around […] ViewI’ve had a very hard time seeing results with my blood sugars. I’m still averaging a fasting BS of 160-200. I’ve been decouraged lately. Trying to get back in the swing of where I was. I’ve lost weight though. 1-6 lbs a week.

kzaleski don’t give up. The program works wonders. I’ve also had sticking points along the way. I’ve used my journal to monitor how my body reacted. Example more exercise and what my BG reaction was to that. The foods I ate that day. I’m in week 4 now and I’m very excited. My morning numbers are now below 100 every day and keep dropping.

In reply to: lilstyler posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Hello, I’m brand new to BSS. I just bought the book and have started skimming through it. I feel so anxious to get started that I went today and bought $200 […] ViewIt was crucial for me to read the whole book and then start. That way I knew every aspect of what it asked so I can commit to the lifestyle as much as I can. I’ve had a few stumbles and falls, but the community was here for me. You can do it, Lil… You just have to really make yourself the priority.
Good Luck!!! -
