[Diabetes-talk] victoza

[Mike Freeman]

You forget that exercise is almost always damned boring, too. The only way I
stay on a treadmill is by reading a book!

And I power-lifted in high school and still love to walk -- but walking to
get somewhere is far preferable to walking to stay in shape IMO.

And I'm one of those for whom exercise *never* made me feel better. And I
see no more reason to become addicted to endorphins than any other drug!
<grin>

Mike

Yeah, it can be difficult to find the motivation to exercise when you
don't feel great. Often exercise helps with this, but it's the einitial
getting up and doing it that's so hard to do.

I agree with all you say.  And, the one thing my sweety has a big
problem with is exercise.  She eats reasonable portions and good healthy
food, but hard to get her off the couch.  She has lupus, which
contributes both to the diabetes and the soreness that makes exercise
difficult.

When I worked as a fitness instructor and ballet dancer, I told people
to not look at losing weight as a diet because this implies a temporary
state of living when food, nutrition and exercise needs to become an
entire lifestyle adjustment that is permanent. One, start eating healthy
portions. This is key. Two, eat foods that are better for you
nutritionally: whole wheat and grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy, fresh
fruits and veggies, beans like chickpeas and garbanzo and lima, etc.
Three, exercise needs to be a part of daily living. Activity of any kind
to get the heart rate up and then toning. We act like this is so
difficult, but when you think about it, it's really not. I do allow for
one day a week when you can eat what ever food you just can't live
without, though still in a moderate portion size. Whether it be
chocolate, buffalo wings, fast-food, cookies, chips-- whatever your
pleasure is. If needing to lose a large quantity of weight, you can cut
back on calories, but in order to remain healthy and maintain weight
loss, you can't yo-yo diet or lose weight then go back to old habits.
Adjusting our mindsets to a lifestyle change is more constructive and
productive when trying to lose weight and just healthy living in
general.

Having said all that, I'm finding it difficult to exercise with Baby,
smile. I get a lot of physical activity in a day just from dealing and
playing with him, but to actually exercise, boy, it's tough finding the
time especially time when I'm not exhausted, sigh. Somehow, I've managed
to lose almost all the weight in seven months, but I need to work on the
toning again. Something tells me this is a life-long struggle, grin.

And of course, we all here have to consider our diabetes. I'm likely to
drop when exercising, so I try to do physical activity after meals. I
test before and after too, but it can be crummy when a low blood sugar,
or high one for that matter, gets in the way of exercise. Just another
level to our daily life, sigh.

Did she get off of it rite away?
There are so many ways to get weight off, I am doing pretty well.
Holding my own. I hope it isn't a long night.
