Diary entry for March 31 to April 6, 2008

Well, this week stars the lawn mowing season. For now, I am using a push mower, not because I am nuts to mow 1.75 acres with a push mower, but because of 2 reasons; (1) The riding mower needs work on the deck and new blades and a new battery and (2) I need the exercise.

Continuing my battle with hayfever allergies, BG readings may be higher than normal. I am getting exercise daily now. Even have a new update on my weight to show this week.

Menu has been simple: cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread for BK, HB egg in mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacktime, salad (cucumber / tomatoe / cheese) & 1/2 roasted chicken for L, 1 pork chop and veggies for dinner. Lots of water and some decaf tea. No coffee.

Here are the BG readings I have so far:

March 31:
7:29 am, 128

April 1:
7:16 am, 116

April 2:
7:48 am, 132

April 3:
6:33 am, 140
11:56 am, 114

Weight as of April 3, 2008: 300 lb.

Note: January 1, 2006, my weight was 375 lb!

My next goal is 280 lb, when I can start adding jogging to my exercise routines.
