Getting Healthy

So next to losing weight, the step to getting healthy is to get my butt back to the doctor. So this week I pulled up my insurance provider website and made myself an appointment for today with what I hope will become my permenant doctor. I dont know what it is with me, but I rarely stick with one doctor for very long. And this is not a good thing. This doctor, while stuck in an office out of 1979, was relatively young and knowledgeable and NICE. He didnt chastise me for being so long seeing a doctor or going un-treated. He didnt say ONE WORD about my weight. If anything, I brought it up along with the fact I'd lost about 35 pounds and was doing weight watchers.

So, now I'm back on Glucotrol and I was excited to find out that it's on Walmart's list of $4 drugs. Whoo hoo. Funny thing is I rarely buy my "drugs" at Walmart but CVS...but they charge me the full copay of $10. So hopefully we'll be seeing my bloodsugars coming on down.

feelin fine in 2009

2008 wasnt such a great year. I dont want to dwell on it, just want to move on to a better healthier new year. So my concentration on this blog for the current year shall be my health etc. My continuing saga on weight loss and getting my blood sugars down.

I'm at approx 260 pounds today. My blood sugars after exercising were 289! UGH. I'm doing Weight Watchers but am not going to the meetings anymore to save money. So I am doing it online. It's really not a major sacrifice as I'd been going for ages and feel like I know the program inside out.

I'm posting a picture of the lunch I made today. I want to see myself eating a variety of different types of food although todays wasn't so "different"

Today, I had a chicken breast w/cheese & bacon bits on it, green beans, and 0 point southwestern vegetable progresso soup. Total points - 8.
