So far, I have done good – been exercising everyday, managing to move somehow everyday. I just need to learn and practice self-discipline when it comes to eating. I still slip up. It’s hard to resist carbs, that’s for sure. Soda has been so far eliminated since last month, and I am hoping weight loss will follow in three months.
I need to positive! I can do this!
A friend of mine recently heaved a huge sigh of relief. Her uncle has diabetes and he recently lost his job due to health problems that are related to his condition. Although his wife is also working and her salary could adequately sustain them in their everyday expenses, his condition requires a lot of medications and supplies that will be expensive for them now. So my friend was ecstatic when a coworker told her about prescription assistance. These Prescription Assistance Programs help low income, uninsured individuals have access to free or discount prescription drugs.
She was even happier when she found out that not only will her uncle be able to get his medications for a low cost but diabetic supplies are also provided for free. They give FreeStyle Flash Meter Glucose Monitoring System, Freestyle Blood Glucose Monitoring System, or Precision Xtra Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System, strips, and lancets to eligible applicants. She only has to make sure that her uncle complies with the requirements for him to be qualified. Now they are hopeful that things will go well and her uncle will show improvement in his health. He can relax now and focus on getting better and healthier.
This is so not me. I have been reading up on vitamin supplements I can take while I try to have a strict diet. I have been reading up on South Beach because that may be the way to go if I want to detoxify myself from sweets first. The first two weeks are the hardest, because getting a sugar-fix is impossible as fruits aren’t allowed even! So walking is possible with aircast walking boots but sneaking in sugar in the first phase of South Beach is impossible!
I have asked a friend about a vitamin she used for her hair,skin and nails. My hair fall is worsening, and with the diet, it doesn’t help at all. She recommended Biotin at Healthy Options and the accompanying shampoo and conditioner from Nature’s Garden. I will give this a try!
Here’s to a healthier me!
I have so many friends who work in the hospital. Most of them are doctors, nurses, medical technologists while a few are technicians, sonologists and midwives. I know how hard it is to find quality medical uniforms which resist wear and tear but still come out as affordable. They wear it on double duty hours, even six days a week so they need a lot of pairs to work with, given they dont even have that much time to do their own laundry.
That is why when my nurse friends found out they can find nursing scrubs on sale at BlueSkyScrubs.com, they ordered pieces in bulk and even got to have their doctors order doctors scrubs as well. That way, they will be able to save on shipping costs.
It’s more like walking actually. My fitness trainer, aka the husband, finally started my fitness program. We did 45 minutes of cardio aka walking for me, running for him on the first day and had 6 rounds on the track we have near our place.
I am grateful that the husband is here to guide me and in a way, take care of me. I hope we can keep this up. 30 days of consistent running would already be a big help to me! I am so out of shape!
So after “warming up” last February, I (think) am ready to dive-in full blast with a strict diet.
I just did my groceries and here were my food items:
1. Yogurt
2. Bananas
3. Non fat high calcium milk
4. Melon
5. Cereals
I hope I can do this! Wish me luck! Moreso, please pray for me!
