My goals are: Stay between 1,000 and 1,200 calories, walk 6 days per week for at least 3/4 hour (hopefully 1 hour by end of month), do strength building exercises on M, W, & F, belly busting exercises on T, R & S. Blood Sugar is +/- points from goal. Weigh in every Thursday. Sundays are a Day Of Rest (DOR) from exercising.
Stayed on food program: 7/31, 8/1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Oops 8, Oops 9, 10, 11, 12, Oops 13, 14 (ate salad at lunch so I could have Chicago hot dog with all the stuff for dinner), 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, Oops 28, 29, 30.
Going to start logging food as I realized I am off base on this.

It is still dark and cold when I would have to walk to get to work on time. So I am going to move my walk to the afternoon. I will report on it the next day as I do following my menu plan.

When I started keeping track of my BS it was out of whack, so I set the goal high to be able to reach it. This month I have averaged 9 points under goal for the month so I am going to reduce it by 5. I am hoping to get it down to where the ADA suggests - but will take it in baby steps.
Weigh in: 8/6 = (-.4)
Weigh in: 8/13 = (+3.4)
Weigh in: 8/20 = (-4.2)
Weigh in: 8/27 = (+0.2)
Total for August = (-1.0)
Total since start in April -20.0 pounds.
Going to have to rethink some of my eating habits. Without logging each day I think they have gotten out of control just as my BS counts were. I'm going to start logging food again as I think more calories than I thought have started creeping into my life.
Waist size: 8/6 = Stayed the same.
Total since start in April -6 inches
