Bio

I'm trying to become healthier. I've been improving my diet because I have type II diabetes. I have a membership at the YWCA through my HMO and I'm starting to use the pool for low-i pact exercise. I have recorded "Sit and Be Fit" from television to start my land based exercise.

I have a lot of health issues and I have become more proactive to see just how healthy I can become. I have shed 17 pounds this summer because I started buying my food at Trader Joes. I am not on a weight loss diet; I'm focusing on a healthier diet. I have thrown out all pasta, grains and anything else that weavils can get into so I'm left with just foods that are better for my diabetes. I do buy some cheap wheat bread for a sandwich every now and then but I really aim for lower carbohydrate foods. I hope to learn to love vegetables. I've just finished rearranging and organizing my kitchen to make it easier to use.
