I have been getting my DDP Yoga workouts in. Last Friday I got the Extreme workout in. More of an Insanity type workout than a "true" yoga workout.

How are all my pals doing? School starts in a month, which is good,I am spirraling without the structure of work. Fifteen years until I retire, my wife is already dreading it.
I shelved the DDP Yoga, I started having all kinds of lower back pain. So I am doin the once a week Super Slow workout and concentrating on my back and stomach. Today was a very good workout, and I actually feel good from the waist down. The owner of the rehab center where I resistance train asked me why I quit in the first place.
It is what it is.
Well, headed to Northern California in few days.

I have been failing on a spectacular level lately. Monday and Tuesday were a wash. Today has been good. So far scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast and a garlic chicken sausage, wheat thins, and a pickle for lunch.
I need to start flying straight, I appear to be showing some pre-diabetes signs...i.e., eating stuff and getting drowsy, dry mouth, and what ever else. I ate an apple and a nectarine the other day and about went comatose.
Got my weekly Power of 10 workout in this morning.
Update: Success! Dinner was teryaki chicken, salad and watermelon. I played golf for the first time in almost a month. It showed, and I have a sore back for my effort.

Failure
Something got me eating candy in the AM. By the PM I could barely walk. It is interesting the affect sugary foods have on me now. I lose physical strength and at times slur when I talk. The Mt. Dew didn't help either.
So, it seems a "well balanced" meal helps with the above issues. I go in, in a month to get re-tested for hormone levels, I guess I'll get another Diabetes check then.

Today was already a failure. But, progress was made.
I think I stated previously I had been having diabetes like symptoms: grogginess after eating, shakes, eating and having to eat again, low blood sugar, sweats, etc.
I had been taking a hormone replacement therapy. I stopped last Friday and today was a 180° turn around. I haven't felt this good in a month.

Oh, so sorry to hear about the pre-diabetes. I can tell you're very frustrated and like you said, all very expected and normal reactions from you. You'll get back on track.

S Days
No exercise this weekenr, recovery is a good thing.
Food, I ate, but not as much as on a "normal" weekend. I think the Metformin, a blood sugar reducer, is also reducing my appetite. Which makes sense, increased blood sugar levels seem to increase appetite. In researching it, it is a "wonder drug" from the 1920's that was "forgotten" when MDs fell in love with insulin.
The one side affect is stomach discomfort a couple of hours after taking it. So, I think I'll only take one tablet a day instead of the two.
The yoga is working my back over, so tomorrow I might start heavy bag and heavy rope work. I just hate the thought of lifting weights, and even though I dig the yoga, it gets painful.

The Metformin has upped the ante on my stomach discomfort with multiple trips to the lounge the last couple of days. I thought I had either a "food born" bacteria or a virus, but I dug a little deeper into Metformin side effects, and sure enough.
So, I am going to continue to lower calorie intake, via No S, and exercise.

Hi there, so id mediform a script or over the counter supplement?
My husband wants to try the garcina cambogia (something like that).

It's all good. I got through work today, no problems. Thanks for the thoughts. It will take a few days for the med to work its way through my system. Had to restart a workout after work though.
First time back to work in 11 days, Christmas Break. The structure is good.
Success!
Breakfast: homemade egg burrito, Diet Coke
Lunch: ham sandwich, salad, handful of Chili Fritos
Dinner: rice, soft taco, salad, Mt. Dew Voltage (1 glass)
Glass of 2% in afternoon

My husband wants to try the garcina cambogia (something like that).
I love eggs and when I eat them for breakfast it helps with wanting to eat too much later in the day. My best friend has a few chickens and when I see her she gives me some...yummy..especially because in the summer they get into all her plants
, so very organic!
Metformin is a prescription.
Yes, the Rose Bowl is an American football tradition.

No S Jan 4-5, 2014
A good weekend. Saturday was probably over the top, 6-7 hours of watching football, so a bit of snacking. But today was manageable, very good for an S Day.

Well,
I did not sleep last night. For whatever reason that seems to get me eating more the next day. So today, I ate.

I have a meeting later on (yippy skippy), so I doubt I'll get any exercise in either.
I'll see you all tomorrow.

It was a nice change. Today was an egg burrito with Vietnamese hot sauce.
But, today, as was yesterday, a Failure!. I am not sure why. Usually I can pinpoint the problem. Not this time.
But, I didi do the Diamond Cutter this morning at 4:45 AM.

Fail!
I am wondering, when I went off the Metformin Jan 1, if that didn't rev up my appetite? I started taking it again this morning, 1/4 tablets to begin with, and a full bottle of Immodium. Supposedly the body adapts to it. I hope so. If anything it seems to work as an appetite suppressant for me, without the insomnia and hyperactivity.
No exercise Friday, but plan on a Diamond Cutter today.

Yesterday l ate more than I shouldl, I laid around and watched Season 4 Justified. I had not seen it yet. I have now.
Tonight, football. Good luck Seattle. I am a 49er fan, but no sense in not being civil.

Bowl of Red -- I added black eye peas and some chopped onion and pepper. Total comfort food! Great recipe!

Thank you. Versatile if anything.
As for "sane eating" well, not so much. Although today, Jan 28, was a success. I have cut down on the weight lifting, and yoga. I found a set of heavyhands in a box in the shop, and have started using them when I walk.
So, onward to tomorrow.

Failure,
Got that out of the way before 10 AM.
School was cancelled due to -30 with the wind chill. Eating, not so good. Exercise, pretty good. I have been trading off between DDP Yoga and Heavyhands on the treadmill.
Today, off day from exercise. Baking a round of bread at the moment.

I am down five pounds since mid February.
I am eating less, but not necessarily No S at the moment. I know it is a "legit" five pounds since I stopped taking my water tablets. So, instead of the big fluctuation day to day, this has been a steady decrease.
I am back doing Body by Science workouts as the yoga was/has been killing my back. The doc, as I may have stated before, suggests swimming, but the one pool for thirty miles charges $4 a dip. So, I am going with what works and causes the least amount of pain.
We'll see, maybe I'll post again on Monday.
