My knees hurt too much this morning. 2 advils and another superset of a full body workout at the office this morning. 1 set of everything I can think of doing at a moderate weight but lots of reps. Lasted about 35 minutes.

I’m doing 1 superset of a full body workout at the office this morning. 1 set of everything I can think of doing at a moderate weight but lots of reps. Lasted about 45 minutes before I was spent and tired. Time to get to work.

Weight

I’m ashamed to say 361. I’m going the wrong way and I know my scale is very accurate.

I know I’m keeping this journal to document my weight loss as well as show the people at Lowell General that I’m making a serious effort but getting up this morning and realizing that I didn’t loose any weight and my knees are killing me sucks!!

Kind of an off day with food but I don’t think it’s too bad anyway. I’m weighing myself today with clothes on and no shoes. COol bike ride with Jake today. We went on the new walking/biking path in Chelmsford. Not sure it has a name yet but pretty flat and fun for the 2 of us. I kept things at more of a workout pace with have small races with him. Got to get him a bigger bike so he can go faster and keep up. Knees hurt less today then earlier this week. Maybe they’re getting used to the pounding or maybe the bike is better for them now than walking.

Looong day at work today. Had next to no time to eat or have to myself other than driving to and from work. I refuse to eat drive through food anymore so I had to settle with an apple and pizza at work someone bought. After walking (and 5 minutes of running) I felt real low and took a hit of the sugar drink. Something with this walk that I do and later at night drops me too low.

Why am I waking up feeling all jittery and low. Blood sugar was low but not too bad. As soon as I woke up I felt like I needed to take a sugar pill or drink some emergency OJ. Testing my blood I was 100. OK over that now to get on with that day.

3 advils and a good nights rest does wonders. I got up this morning and pushed myself over to the office gym and did an overall weight lifting workout. Bench press for the chest, military press for shoulders, forearm and bicep curls, triceps push downs, leg extensions and calf raises.

Ohh a little sore today. Remind me not to go 100% after not working out for a few years. I walked in the neighborhood for about 10 minutes but my knees and shins were already pretty sore. Went to sit in my tub instead and take 2 advil.

I’m fat. I weight 370 pounds and I’m slowly dying not living.  About a month ago I decided it was time I do something about my health, my diabetes, my weight and everything in my life. I’ve been treated for Type 2 diabetes for 7 years now and clearly it’s because I’m overweight. Lose weight and you’ll feel better people tell me.  Sure. Ok. I know that’s what I got to do but when I try it for a few weeks it’s very frustrating. I don’t loose any but I do feel better. Oddly enough I find myself more hypoglycemic (too low) than hyperglycemic (too high). A few times during and after exercise I was dangerously low (77-80).
