I was watching my fav, Oprah on dvr. She had Dr. Oz, Bob Greene, & another doctor all talking about diabetes. Eating the right foods, exercise, and getting tested. Couple things caught my attention... waste size should be less than half your height, no white foods (heard that before), and exercise- no negotiation! I like that... no negotiation. Like "Just do it", no excuses or ELSE! This is what we need to do for ourselves to be healthy and break the family cycle of diabetes, high blood pressure, and anything else that may ail us.
What has amazed me, is this simple idea has been contagious! A. Alice went on a walk around the block with me this afternoon! U. Roy has been doing sit ups and back to the golf course. Ralph (Dad) all of the above and more. As for myself, walking in the afternoon and taking Lexus for his evening walk. And eating brown rice again!
Ralph, Alita, Chris... have a good run on Sunday. to everyone... good 1st week!
What?! Waste size less than half our height! We are at a disadvantage with that one :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone running on Sunday! And good for A. Alice and Toni and Lexus (a girl, so not a HIS) for going on walks. That's awesome! Also, way to put diabetes on the forefront. My mom's family is riddled with diabetes too. Let's take our steps to prevent it rather than treat it! Love you all. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteALRIGHT A. ALICE AND U. ROY!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sis for keeping the conversation going on breaking the cycle of diabetes in the family. Ralph K's grandpa was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic but he was able reversed it with exercise and a change in his eating habits.
Thanks for sharing all of this...I get choked up and I'm amazed at our supportiveness.
ReplyDeleteIt helps me get up in the morning and put on my running shoes!
No negotiations - no more!
