It's been a while...

And I really don't have a good excuse for not being around, expect being busy and not giving myself enough me time.. But I need to change that..

Since my last post I have had my parents visit Maine for the first time since we moved here in July.  I spent a week showing them around and eating some great Maine food.  There was Halloween and it was such a success here.. Kids got some yummy candy, but I have past on much of it.  Currently my friend Andrea is visiting from the state of Washington with her kids.  We are having a great time around town and spending quality time together just chatting.  Last night we had maine lobsters!  This was her first time eating it and I think it was a hit! :)

Working out is still happening.  I have decided not to do this 2weekchallenge that's going on right now.  But that's not stopping me from being active.  I still do badminton at the YMCA M-W-F along with the other days I do some type of weights or jogging there also.  I got a workout partner who is a stay at home dad, so we are motivating each other you can say.. My last weigh in was 160.6 and today it's 156.6 so that's a 4 lb loss and below my goal of 160!!  My next goal is 150... :)

 

How has Type II diabetes affected your life?

Personally in my household it doesn't effect me however I do know someone that I used to work with who had it, but she controlled it with diet and medication but no insulin shots.  My mother also has it and controls it the same way.  I know with my mother diagnoses it worries me that I could get it, so I do make sure to get checked when I'm at the doctors.
