Hey!
Thanks for the encouragement! I just went to the doctor and found I am still NOT diabetic.....yet. My blood sugar is 117. Diabetic is 126. So while I don't have to be on drugs yet, I know that it is close enought that I have to do something. Also Christmas time is hard for me. But I did something different this year. I made a pumpkin pie using Splenda Granular. It still isn't as sweet as sugar in this recipe, but it wasn't bad. I also made cranberries with Splenda and it tasted really good. I haven't been to the gym yet. But I did say next week. I will let you all know about my progress. I will eventually try to get some pictures posted. But it is nice to have some encouragement! I used to think I was ugly as a fat guy. I actually think I am a handsome fat guy. But, I know I will feel better thinner and I will take the design that God gave me and get it back to where He wanted it. And that is not to abuse my body with food. Plus I WILL look better!

That's great news Marshall! Now just make sure you stick with your plan so you don't ever have to take those drugs.

Something to think about, especially with the diabetic potential: Diet is very critical for a healthier life, in fact some experts argue it is more important then exercise. If you are not ready to jump in to both at the same time and look at the situation as using better gas for the car when it is getting ready for an upcoming race, that is understandable. Gradually is good. Slow is steady… steady is smooth… smooth is fast. You might be better severed to change your diet first then start going to the gym after a few weeks of healthy dieting.
Another key thing, that is often misunderstood, is that dieting does not always mean cut back on eating. It means changing your eating habits, style and what you eat.

Well guys, I can't say that I have made any effort yet on the fitness challenge. I am shooting for starting the New Year by going to the gym. Also the second week of January, my boss and I are going to do a weight loss challenge. I have a real hard time with discipline. That is my biggest downfall. But one thing did happen in my favor. I had to throw out a lot of food in the freezer since parts of Seattle had an extended power outage just before Christmas. A lot of the food was not that good for me. So now I am restocked with healthier stuff in the fridge. One thing that I am afraid of is being too hard on my feet. Currently I work all day on concrete floors and my left foot hurts. So I am hoping that it won't be an issue in terms of doing cardio. I don't know if I have gout or something. I guess I need to talk to the doctor about that.
