I really want exercise to be a healthy part of my daily routine, in the same way that I incorporate meditation and carb counting into my schedule. And I’m not giving up on these goals, in fact, I’m more committed than ever! I have the equipment at hand, mental and material. I have the information in front of me, online, in books, and from my medical support team. I have access to the latest technology and I’m fortunate to have excellent health care coverage.
I’m over 60 and have never been a “consistent exerciser”, more a dabbler in Tai Chi, yoga here and there, kayaking on vacations, a hiking club when I felt like it. You probably know the type! I’m trying, but I know I’m still a long way from the mindset that my a relative of mine has—when she gets, she warms up and jogs come hell or high water. I have never given myself that permission, or arranged my life that way, and see it now as a big mistake. But never too late to change! Having been misdiagnosed as a Type 2 and having passed out all over the place from low BGs, it has definitely taken me a good amount of time to regain any confidence about risking those episodes. What I had hoped to find from the Team 101 was some shared dialog about specifics about blending settings with exercise and carbs to offset lows. Let’s face it, most of you are way down a triathlon trail, but this tortoise is still determined to inch along.
