An Afternoon Stroll

It was such a lovely day today that I dragged the boys out for a walk with me to the supermarket. I only wanted a couple of things and taking the boys with me meant I didn't have to carry it by myself. I knew there was a reason to have kids other than to do the dishes =P


One of the Churches in town

The picture below of the hill by the supermarket doesn't do it justice. It really is much steeper than it looks. I have to admit that today's walk felt better than last weekends one on the same hill. Although I didn't walk up it this time around. At least I managed to burn off some of that glucose. I'm crossing my fingers that any BGL's I do later will be better than yesterdays. There were a tad on the higher side but still within the normal range, thank goodness.

The Coles Hill (well its the hill by Coles supermarket)

Not that I timed myself but I am pretty sure that I did more than the 30 minutes exercise that Karen (my Diabetes Educator) & Kerry (my dietitian) recommended and I feel pretty good about that!

Well...how great to get to see your actual neighborhood!! :-] And now I can see what you mean about the hill!!...Good for you, going walking and burning off that glucose!! You're doing so good with this new annoying health issue. You're just getting on with it, turning lemons into lemonade! ^_^ Setting a good example for your boys too!

Poetess, I am glad that you liked the photos. I needed to take them to prove that I did go for a walk lol
I'm trying to meet this 'new' challenge head on. I may not take a walk in the neighbourhood every day but I have been walking a lot more. Like you said turning lemons into lemonade, just without the sugar ;D
