A lot has happened over the last month.
My femur seems to have made a turn for the better after a turn for the worse. Last week, I was in so much pain. If it wasn't my knee, it was my ankles or back. Then, yesterday - out of the blue - I walked without pain or a limp! I haven't checked it out today. It really only happens after I walk a block. Today, I even started doing a 1 mile walk with a Leslie Sansone DVD Walk Away the Pounds. Okay, it's marching in place and it was only 1 mile but, it's a start and I'll take it.
I received some blood test results at the same time I received my MRI results and it looks like my sugars were elevated to early diabetes levels. I have a long rant about how this, in my opinion, went undiagnosed thanks to poor testing choices. However, I'll hold on to that rant because I just don't have the energy at the moment. I got myself a glucose meter and cut out the carbs. Today, my glucose is within normal range and i lost 9 lbs to date. That is nine pounds with little effort and virtually no exercise. My sugars raised slightly over vacation and today, I started Atkins Induction which should last 2 weeks give or take. Each phase adds more carbs but, gone are days of 60% carb intake. Yes, the ADA is providing death by diet.
I'll give you more details tomorrow -

Forgive me for the rap music! You may want to turn down the volume if there are children around or if you can't stand rap music.

My glucose levels have been very good today! The more carbs I cut the better my levels.
My Grandmother is in a rehabilitation center for her back and she seems to be doing well.
Mats comes on Monday so I'll be on vacation hiatus from my blog.
I'll be back in the beginning of August and I promise more detailed blog entries.

I'm sorry I haven't blogged much. I've been at the doctors a lot lately. It was just a bunch of appointments back to back. Then when I am home, I'm working on my glucose numbers and my weight. My numbers today have been very good and I lost about 5 lbs. Woohooo!
