This has been an evolving...I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY! This has been an evolving work in progress for us over here. At first it was just learning not to HATE diabetes out loud. That was really hard for me -- I wanted to curse it every chance I could, but then realized it was part of my perfect daughter and I must learn to embrace it. <br /><br />From there I needed to pick up the pace. I've been exercising regularly for over 2 years. It started with daily bike rides - I've done yoga, step aerobics, Zumba (my FAVORITE), and most recently just getting into the routine of going to the gym everyday after dropping Sugar off at school. I've had to switch up activities as our schedules change with school/summer/vacation/activities -- but I've managed to keep exercise a priority.<br /><br />Now I must tackle my diet. While I don't eat poorly all the time, I DO tend to binge. I'll binge on chocolate or Cheetos during hormone changes and stressful circumstances in a heartbeat. I'll also eat beyond the feeling of fullness just because it's there....and it still LOOKS yummy so I want to take another bite.<br /><br />We keep the TV OFF most of the day. We don't have any video game systems (except for a couple handheld educational things), and the girls don't get on the computer very often. **I** have been working on breaking my addiction to the computer, which is why I'm not around as much as I used to be.<br /><br />I do have some basic chores that I complete everyday before allowing myself time to indulge in a book or blogs. I can't say I'm a deep house cleaner, but I do make sure things are picked up and uncluttered...I keep up with the dishes and I do make dinner every night.<br /><br />Great post...so awesome to know I'm not alone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-40038668499637331442010-10-17T07:51:13.667-07:002010-10-17T07:51:13.667-07:00Yep, yep, and YEP!!!

I was always fairly good at exercising, but have even taken that up a notch over the past few years. <br /><br />I feel like a happier person when I exercise and hopefully I am a good role model for Bridget and Joe. Keep up with your awesome habit changes Cindy. We all love you!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-62289777169585811052010-10-16T23:56:04.629-07:002010-10-16T23:56:04.629-07:00Good for you!

It takes a lot of work, but it is well worth it to have all the energy to do what you want with your children without feeling extra exhausted due to our bodies giving out. I know we'll never be fully rested as parents of CWD, but we can be our top notch. This is getting me too as I find it hard to fit in exercise, but know that if I don't eventually I won't be healthy enough to enjoy my children as I want. So...I will make the time to exercise, it is a priority! <br />Enjoy your weekend, hope it's as beautiful in your neck of the woods as it has been here :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.com
