Dieting

I got my insulin results back and they were 20.  Becky says that normal is below 17.  To help this, I will continue taking Metformin, although I am spreading the pills out during the day.  I am also going to make a good effort at exercising harder and trying a low-carb diet.  The low-carb diet is going to be so hard for me, but I am going to try really hard and attempt to try new foods along the way.  I think if I see myself losing weight, I may be more likely to stick with it.  Becky wants to re-test me again in a few months to see if these things are helping.  I also decided that as part of my exercise, I'm going to start running.  I know I had issues trying to run in high school, but I think with the right shoes and starting at the right pace and times, I can build myself up.  I'm hoping to get David in on this, too!  I'll update again after my ultrasound around March 27 (depends on what AF gets here).

Low carb is no fun but the end result is what matters most!!! I know I kept a food diary and that helped me and still does. Knowing I have to write down everything I eat usually helps me control it :o) Good luck with your u/s!!
