I've lost loved ones to lung cancer, smoking & non-smoking and ex-smoking loved ones, and it is a nasty way to go. Hang in there, treat yourself as well as you can. I think the patch idea is a good one to try.Lori Rodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137207688969918642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-11293524461691861382007-05-15T07:47:00.000-07:002007-05-15T07:47:00.000-07:00GeorgeSorry you're having a tough time.Please, ple...George<BR/><BR/>Sorry you're having a tough time.<BR/><BR/>Please, please, resist the temptation to smoke. It's not worth the long-term problems. Take this from someone (me) who has serious breathing issues without ever smoking. You don't want to go there.<BR/><BR/>I'm not exercising enough, but I am exercising more since we got a treadmill in the basement. I can run for 25 minutes while watching the TV. I'm trying to reach 170 calories each time I use the machine. That's enough to drop my bg's, get my heart pounding, <I>and </I> give me a good night's sleep. <BR/><BR/>What more could you want.<BR/><BR/>George, I hope that you can get some help with your feet soon. That will help with your exercising.<BR/><BR/>Hey, how come the icon for your picture? Are you scared of the abuse of your picture.

The ice cream thing is usually done with little kids (don't know how old O is) who are running around like maniacs all day. The combo of protein and carbs help sustain the blood sugars over night. If O isn't an active kid, though, it's just empty calories. <BR/><BR/>Have you thought of trying Weight Watcher's? Or would that just be one more thing to track? That was the only time I had success losing weight. Maybe if you combine that with your exercise regimen, it would help you shed some weight.Major Bedheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669161302510096751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-91215668791728158732007-05-14T15:36:00.000-07:002007-05-14T15:36:00.000-07:00.........don't start again.

Thank you OC for explaining that to me but seriously, the Hypo thing is scary.<BR/><BR/>I am thinking I should go buy some patches and try those again for a little while before totally falling off of the wagon. <BR/><BR/>I am really trying to justify it. Thank you all for your words of encouragement. <BR/><BR/>This sucks.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508213573891885604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-69337694186582546432007-05-14T14:39:00.000-07:002007-05-14T14:39:00.000-07:00I am sorry you are in a funky place.

As for O, our endo swears ice cream is the best bedtime snack because of the fat, I would never give it for a hypo though, we use it a lot when we know he will dip in the night. I am glad your foot is better but you should still find the cause, whew am I glad it is not what Bernard thought. lol Hang in there bud, we are all cheering for you. If you ever need anything you know where to find me. =)Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276484548667354919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-60825744958167635662007-05-14T14:36:00.000-07:002007-05-14T14:36:00.000-07:00That is one good looking tumor on your boat man. ...That is one good looking tumor on your boat man. <BR/><BR/>That cringe on my face is from you thinking about smoking!!<BR/><BR/>I feel you on the depression though. It feels like you are working hard and not seeing results. <BR/><BR/>Stick with it though. Our bodies do not like change, and will try their hardest to avoid it. Your body is just testing your mental resolve to change. Stick with it, be safe, burn more than you eat, and it will happen. <BR/><BR/>Don't forget, your body burns a bunch of calories just doing body stuff (breathing, thinking, heart beat, etc).<BR/><BR/>I'm not losing any real weight either, but I'm eating shitty lately. <BR/><BR/>The cigs are just plain bad news. Plus, you will stink. Your wife cannot like a stinky man. I know she loves you and all, but damn! And what about the kiddos? <BR/><BR/>Don't do it man.Scott K.

I guess that mom needs to measure out the food better or adjust the ratios....I don't know.<BR/><BR/>As for losing weight, keep track of your calorie intake. Keep a log over the next few days just to see how many calories you're actually taking in.<BR/><BR/>You can bump up the intensity of your cardio if you only have time to do 30 minutes. Keep your heart rate in a certain range while you workout (go to menshealth.com to get your heart rate range).<BR/><BR/>And DON'T START SMOKING AGAIN. If you're in a funk, why would you want to do something to bury yourself even further. Look for something to pick you up, not bring you down :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.com
