A little over a yr ago my dr informed me that I was headed for diabetes. I guess they are looking at prevention now so, instead of blood sugar tests they are now doing A1C tests. An A1C (as explained to me by my dr) is like a 3 mo outlook on your blood sugar. Sort of a predictor of what's to come. So, between that and my anxiety, I went on a diet and switched to decaf. Plus started an exercise regimen. I was doing ok for a while but, I keep getting infections because of my asthma and COPD and each time I get sick I can't really work out because I can't breathe. This has put a kibosh on my weight loss as diet alone is not enough. There are certain things I can't eat due to dentures which has further wrecked my progress. So, I began this little segment on FB as way to sort of document my struggle. Plus, I add in other moments that amuse or irritate.
Anywho, with all this covid19 hoarding that's begun, getting the foods I need is a bit of a problem especially now with bare shelves at the stores. Not sure what will happen with all this. I decided I could probably get by with one meal a day if I had to and just drink water in between. Maybe this whole situation will take care of the weight loss for me whether I want it to or not. We'll see.
I've been dabbling in writing since I can't go out and do anything. I've always wanted to write but, I'm not sure I have what it takes. I recently got a free blog site I'm tinkering on. We'll see what happens. If anyone here is a vampire fan and happens to be interested, I can leave a link if it's ok with the admins. I've always kinda liked vampire stuff. I was watching a series on Vudu called Blood Ties. Pretty interesting.
There's other things I'd like to pursue but, I tend to get so much on my plate I don't leave myself time to have free time and take proper care of myself. Too many things I wanna do and try.
I'm a coffee lover. I drink the stuff year round. My friends think I'm nuts. LOL! My father is the same way. We used to be afraid to talk to him as kids until he had his first cup of coffee down him and his glasses on. One day after my 2nd divorce when I had no choice but to return home, my dad's boss called. He wanted dad to come in and work because someone had called in. I was on my way out to work. I told him dad was asleep and there wasn't a chance in hell I was waking him. He pleaded and I told him I would do it on my way out. So I got all my stuff together, knocked on the door and when dad woke a little I said "you're boss called and wants you to call him back. bye." And I got the heck outta there. LOL! I can't have intelligible conversations with people until I'm actually awake which requires some coffee.
I love animals. I used to feed stray cats but that always became problematic. I love cats. I love animals in general. But, after moving here and discovering the squirrels enjoy eating black oil sunflower seeds, they became a new interest for me.
