^Well, I hope you enjoy your new workplace. And kudos to you for the workout! I've done my usual 5+ mile walk home over the bridge every day, but other than that I've done no exercise over the past week. I feel like a big fat poo. I also ate three chocolate chip cookies today. I am bad!
I walk far more than five miles a day. That's just the straight walk from Manhattan home. The average New Yorker walks 5 miles a day, so I'd estimate I get about 8-10 miles walking in a day. I usually do yoga on top of that, but I've been lazy lately. And the bitch is that I usually eat healthily, I rarely overeat, and I'm still 10 lbs overweight! I hate my metabolism!
I'd say I've put in over 30 miles roaming the city in the past few days. It's my favorite time of year, so I'm in Central Park as much as possible.
I'm in Jersey, I PATH in. I'm down the street from Hoboken. I'm not in the city tonight because I have work here tonight.
My favorite jeans don't fit me anymore. They make my love handles bulge. I'm gonna need to work on that.
You haven't seen my thighs. Plus, for all the vanity and bitching, I really do want to lose it for health reasons. Every five pounds that one loses lowers the blood sugar naturally.
I believe it. I knew a kid in high school with diabetes who got away with murder. And by murder, I mean eating in class and taking many bathroom breaks.
Hey, it's the least we deserve for having to put up with 4 or more blood tests per day, as many daily injections, pissing on strips, an almost complete inability to lose weight, and $600/month worth of diabetic supplies. Not to mention people being completely ignorant of type 1 diabetes and assuming that a)I got it because I ate a poor diet and didn't exercise, b)I have it because I eat a poor diet and don't exercise, and c)lumping me in with the "Fat, Lazy, American" stereotype. So there.
*rant over* I have nothing against diabetics. And I promise I am doing my share to eat as much as I can to make up for what you can't eat.
