Okay I'm jumping in

Okay Okay I"m jumping in . I'll admit I've been lurking not just on this site but many others. I've recently just discovered the world of "blogging" and it's a wonderful addiction for me. So I guess the best thing or most polite would be to intrduce myself. My name is Bonnie and I'm from Sarnia , Ontario(on the border of Port Huron,Mic). I am 43 and I work part time for a great pediatric dr. I love my job it accomidates my life perfectly. Since I have had fibromyalgia for over 10 years and have become diabetic I have decided to try to lose the 20 lbs that have plagued me since the birth of the last (third) baby 11 years ago. I am going to try to change my lifestyle little by litlle , the first beith healthier choices not drastic dieting for everyone in my family. You see I have 3 boys 19, 17 and 11 and they constantly enable me not to mention my dh who knows how tired I am and its much easier to get take out . Now I'll conceed to making quickie suppers like eggs and KD but I put nutricious things with them ex. salad or cut up fruit.

So here goes my first things to get in order in able to help lose weight to bring down my blood pressure and stop me from having to use diabetic meds/insulin and to help my energy level is to make sure I drink water. I do drink lots because of the meds I am on but I will keep track. Which leads to my next goal . To keep a diary of what I eat, glasses of water and any exercise I do. I plan on trying to follow a diabetic diet loosely , although I keep track of my sugars I don't especially watch what I eat in consideration to this. Next is to really police what I eat at bedtime which is a killer time for me . Like I said before my husband is terrible for snaking at this time too . So I think thats enough of my yakking for now . Except to say good luck to everyone .
