Every worthwhile journey begins with just one step. What I mean, is that part of a diabetic journey is exercise. Modifying your diet is great but exercising will help your body to burn sugar as well as fat. Fat cells are known to inhibit your bodies insulin to process sugar as it should. So taking off a few pounds just might help to lower your sugar levels as well as get yourself back to your sexy days.
Just walk. I mean it. Even if you only walk 10 steps from the front door of your home to your mailbox, just walk. Do it in the morning before the mail has come, the neighbors will only think you have something important coming and that is the reason you keep checking the mail (wink). If you walk around the block, walk the dog, walk at the mall or walk across the parking lot at work to the building; Just walk and keep doing it.
I never realized how easy it was until I started doing it myself and it all began with just a few steps. I started walking at work. I get a 15 minute break 2 times per day and a 30 minute lunch. So, during my breaks.. morning and afternoon I walk the parking lot and again at lunch I walk around the parking lot. I'm not sure how far it is but I would guess that each day doing this I am walking about 1.5 or 2 miles. The funny thing is I can make phone calls and still walk. I also get some fresh air and it only takes up 7 minutes of my 15 minute break. That's less than half. The benefits of course you can just imagine. Anyway, the point is to keep moving; JUST WALK!
See you next time, I'm going for a walk ~KG~ :)
