Just me


I have been heavy all of my adult life. I have had diabetes for 13 years. So far, I have relied on oral medications to control my blood sugar, but have not been as compliant with the eating side of management. I am hit or miss with the exercise component.

I come and go here, but during a time of Sparking regularly, I acquired a few friends. I may just be lurking in the background.

    awesome job on getting 18,000 steps the other day! Don't you just love looking at your fitbit and seeing how far you have gone!
    Keep up the great work! emoticon
    The pedometer is wonderful as well and that is great that it keeps several days worth of data. The fitbit has its limitations certainly since as you said, you have to be linked to a computer and that is how it charges too.
    But regardless of how we count our steps, you are doing great. Keep on stepping! emoticon

    Many thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog. I do appreciate your perspective, even if it was far from my best work. (And watch out, you could find yourself added as a Spark Friend if you are not careful!)
