The new Lifestyle in the Pizza life

09/04/2022

Haven't posted in awhile... life always takes the upper hand sometimes lol understatement right?

I've been able to do 2 times this week I need to get a morning routine in so I can wake up early go to the gym home to shower and get ready for drop off and work and bed early. When nick works his schedule is all over the place so I rather do this so we aren't all over the place.

But I got on the stairstepper this week and did 15 min the fist 10 min beat me buy had to step off to catch my breathe. But got back on for another 5 min. How did I climb the Hancock tower 4 years ago? Haha

Beat my time on the tread and kept going. Our PF finally had their grand opening I guess schaumburg mayor was there .. didn't care it was workout time lol

Nick on the other hand has been able to keep his sugars in check working on meds lately he hasn't had low or high numbers so proud of him! ❤️ we just keep coming up with ideas on what to eat and change things up.

Hate the phrase .. when life gives you lemons make lemonade ... we don't need anymore lemons please!!

Good news bad news ... Nick's A1C was 11.9? Can't remember 12/31/22 and as of 3/19/22 it's a 7.6 .. so technically he is still in the red zone as I looked it up today. He's not high like before. His one med was brought down but now they want him on 2 meds for his diabetes.. so we are still going in the right direction just not there yet.

Just keep going that's what we have to do. With the one decreased he doesn't have as many low sugars now. Roller coaster 🎢 for sure.

You got this babe .. 💓

So its been awhile since I updated on Nick’s diabetes.
His last appt with the dietician we found out with his sensor it can give us a “estimate” of what his A1C could be.
GOOD NEWs (if its correct), Nick was in the top of the RED zone and he should be in the GREEN zone now! We will know in April when he gets his blood work done again.

Now we are learning how to eat better and what he can and can’t do still with his sugar levels but its NOT high. Now we have to watch and make sure his levels are too low. This might mean he can decrease his meds, but that’s another time and another doctor appointment. For now we can breathe and only be cautious vs me asking him every time he scans and ask “Whats your sugar?” I’m sure he knows I meant well, but I probably was really annoying for a couple of months.

Proud of you Nick! Way to go!

Well today was probably one of the roughest work days that I've ever had to go thru.. long story short tonight's gym session was driven by alot of frustration. I beat my 2 mile from the other night. I'm in so much pain though. No complaints just stating the truth.
And I then slowed down and made myself a promise no matter how long I took to do it after I made my 2 mile was to open a virtual 5K from 2018 tonight. And I made it.
Followed by another Hydro massage.

I was down 1 lbs since I started the gym so I guess I'm the one who has to diet and workout.

So I want to thank Hubby again for getting Gabbie and letting me go in. And I'm starting to get more steps In m fitbit. 11,533 steps today!!

So I know many people would say eh no big deal. But 3rd time in the gym 2nd by myself .. and knocked 2 min off my 2 mile. Feels good but my legs are feeling it .. jumped on the bike for 15 min (I was texting a good friend at 9min lol) but my calf was cramping really bad. ❤ how I can grab a hydro massage every time.

I know this time losing the weight is going to be 10xs harder. But I'm focusing on my cardio this moment but eventually will work on weights but this is my hare moment.

Thanking my husband right now for pushing me back into the gym and helping me out w Gabbie. I know it's weird but some personal me time feels good and even came home to a great dinner.
Thanks hun!! Xoxo

Ok another post on what I'm finally doing haha

Got 2 miles done in 42 min .. that's awesome since I haven't done anything for awhile. I feel good!! One day I'll be back to jogging again. I will be the tortoise and not the hare this time.

I have been on the right diet but man it's harder this time around. But I won't be giving up.

Now with Planet Fitness I get water massage 10 min included now... body is a Lil sore but no pain no gain right?

Ok start of a new chapter. It's been awhile yes. But not off to a bad start I got 1 mile in on the tread and did 3 miles on the bike.

For some this is easy but for those who may know it's been since 2.5 years since I walked into a gym.

This wasn't a goal in mind today only to go and get a Lil sweat in which I did.

Next goal is to figure out how to do this before work and go at least 4 times a week. I can do it I just have to.

Nick came for moral support today. Thanks hun. I'm sure eventually if we go together his is more weight training and mine is all lol. 💪

Nick text and called me yesterday and scared me ... his sugar got down to 46. He acted quick and grabbed about 100g of blueberries about 15g carb ... within 15 min of eating he scanned again and got back into the normal range. I worked late yesterday got Gabbie and we went to walgreens and got a prescription and picked up a couple tunes of glucose tablets. I hope he never has to use them but if ur sugar drops that low u have to take between 15-20g carb to bring it up.

We are learning quickly.
So we have two different life styles here. Whole we are on the low carb diet mine ranges from 30-100 a day. Nick is around 135 a day. So we can struggle with that since we never went that high.
For lunch he ordered himself and unwhich with Jimmy Johns and a pickle .. but we realized he needs to eat the carbs .. I think this is why his sugar dropped. I emailed his dietician but this is why he has to eat 30 carbs per meal.

Always learning.
Anyone ever have this issue?
