Well.  Did a little better the last few days even with going to the fair.  The calories have been in line and I've walked a bit more.  I nearly got 10,000 steps on Wednesday. and 5500 yesterday.  A couple of days before that I got about 7-8000.  I did really well on my calories yesterday and my carbs.  Gotta keep goin'. 

I had about 1550 or less for calories yesterday.  I couldn't count it exactly because calorie count had set servings for some things that I couldn't change.  Even so, it was fairly close to what I had and the calories are within my 1500-1600 range so I can't complain.  I need to exercise more aggressively but I'm working on that.  The doctor said to try to change one thing at a time and not everything at once.  So my first goal is to get my calories and carbs under control for my diabetes then work on intensifying my exercise.

It's Friday so I have to work hard at monitoring my carbs and calories for the weekend.  I think I'm going to try to push mow the lawn.  That should get me some exercise....!!!
