Its been 3 months today that I decided to change my life and get my health back in order. I was not going to put up with being a type 2 diabetic!
I quit drinking any alcohol with the exception of the occasional bottle of red wine. Yep, no Jack and no beer...... don't even miss it.
I changed my eating habits 180%. I now eat at least 6 times a day, all small meals. I cut out all bad carbs completely, no bread, cereal, I even stopped eating cheese. My diet consists of tons of fruits and vegetables, clean meat (chicken, fish, eggs etc), healthy carbs in moderation (sweet potato's, oats, etc) and healthy fats (whole peanut butter, avocados, olive oil, etc).
I lift weights 3 days a week and walk up to 6 miles a day the other three.
I am very proud to say that after checking my glucose levels this week, my levels are below 100 (down from an average of 200 and high of 400). That is in the normal, non-diabetic range!
I should add that I stopped all medication 2 months ago so my success is purely from being dedicated to a healthy life.
I have only lost around 15 lbs (I'm holding at 250-255lbs) but my pants size has gone down 3+ sized and my body is noticeably much less "fat" and more defined muscle.
Quite an impressive beginning to a new lifestyle for me and am excited to see how much of an improvement I can gain in the next 3 months!
My goal is to be in the best shape of my life by the time I hit 40.
