Introduction Text April 9, 2021 I have maintained my weight loss and my A1C. My goal now is to re-spark my weight loss journey, so I can get down to my ultimate goal of 150 pounds. April 11, 2019 My desire is to be healthy and able to do all the things I want to do. Last April I was given the very unwelcome information that I have diabetes. My A1C was 6.7 and I weighed 235 pounds. I was put on a low dose of Metformin, but I didn't really take it very seriously, and by July, it had bumped up to 6.9. I did not want to go over 7.0, so at that point I had a serious wake up call. They upped my meds, and I started making better food choices. Yesterday, at my diabetes care checkup, my total weight loss is 33 pounds and my A1C is now 6.1. My cholesterol level is normal. And I feel so much better! I'm looking forward to continuing my progress.

To be happy and healthy. To enjoy the journey. To make healthy food choices. To choose to move in wonderfully fun ways.

My food plan: Healthy Vegetarian Food Choices My exercise plan: Walk at least 10 minutes, 6 days a week, working up to a mile a day. Strengthening exercises 3 days a week

I live in Pelahatchie, Mississippi. I work for the State of Mississippi as an accountant, which means I sit all day. I love all forms of needlework, quilting, and knitting. I love to read horror and science fiction. These hobbies of mine mean I sit all evening when I get home. See a pattern? (Sigh) I also play the djembe, which is an African hand drum. This is actually quite an upper body workout, so finally, a body healthy hobby!!
