Bob and I took an extra day to ourselves and went to Denver to see the city, not just the airport! Just when we were relaxing in the hotel, the fire alarms went off and we had to evacuate! I grabbed what I could and down 15 flights of steps we went! That evening my quads hurt a little bit, but OMG - my calves are really hurting! I thought I was in pretty good shape, but going down stairs really hit some muscles I guess I just don’t use that much!
It all started in late March 2009, my annual visit to the Doctor. The blood work came back borderline type 2 diabetic and the outcome was “try to get my diet under control or else medication.” Medication is not a word in my vocabulary! NO WAY! UNFORTUNEATELY my health insurance wouldn’t cover a dietician/nutritionist. FORTUNATELY I have a fabulous sister-in-law who is a nutritionist and took me under her wing. I now refer to her as my DIET GURU. Every week I wrote down what I was eating and I would get back some extremely helpful comments, suggestions and inspiration. Without the help of my Guru and husband I would never have been able to achieve this goal. My husband has cooked 90% of meals over our 20 year marriage. My family and friends played a key role in this quest. I am not a qualified expert and this blog is based on my own personal experience. I have been referring to this transformation as my summer project and forever a work in progress.
Remember…
nothing tastes as good as thin feels
