MONTANALADY46's SparkPage


I am a 69 year old diabetic living in Montana. I am retired and live alone except for my cats (both my own and I foster rescues). I want to lose 50 pounds overall, but I am choosing to set goals of 5-10 pounds at a time so that I can have the satisfaction of reaching one and then re-setting it for the next period of time. I want to manage my diet and blood sugars so that I do not need to take insulin shots. And I want to work up to at least 30 minutes of exercise daily.

    Thanks for your comment to my A1C news. Be vigilant and strive to achieve your goal. I am not a very active person and in the last couple of months I have started getting out more and yard saleing, flea markets and in general just moving more. I do not know if that applies to you but what ever works for you is what you need to do. Blessings on your endeavor. emoticon emoticon

    Thanks for your suggestions on how to add fiber to my diet. We made a large salad with lettuce and different vegetables plus water-packed tuna for dinner tonight, but it still didn't give me enough fiber.
    I will have to think of beans. Maybe, tomorrow.
    Thanks again.

    Hi neighbour to the south. I've added you as a friend. I love cats and yours look very content. Wishing you success on your weight loss journey. T'is a hard road but it can be done by exercising perserverance and patience. I live on a farm and we are calving now so am getting lots of exercise but the pounds don't want to "get lost" (probably because I am eating more and not paying so much attention to preparing meals)

    Morning, shopping savvy is a good one. Noticed you take a few pounds at a time also. When I finish the first 60, i will break down the next step. That works for me. Be encouraged! Added you, hope you won't mind. Have an awesome Journey. Edith
