Thank you!!!

As long as you're losing weight, I think it's worth the risk esp. for someone who has blood sugar issues. Most people, I would probably tell them not to but exercise is just so good at lowering the blood sugar that even if you do risk building a little muscle, the lower blood sugar will outweigh the benefits.

shameless bump

Sorry!! Hope I'm not too late!

I decided to start exercising again. I did it for 62 minutes tonight and it helped take my mind of swaying and relaxed me. I figure I am going to watch my favorite movies starting with the twilight series....lol Twilight always makes me happy and makes me forget about the world for a little bit.

Never forget, that in our native environment we ALL walked miles and miles a day!! Boy moms and girl moms alike. It's the whole package, diet, exercise, weight loss, lowering stress, all of it togther.

Twilight makes me smile because my husband actually used to LIVE in Forks LOL.

This is one of those times I need my non-existant crystal ball!

I wouldn't exercise (and didn't) if I couldn't go b--lls to the wall every day. But I have no problems with controlling my blood sugar, either.

I really think you've been on diet long enough. It's ALWAYS something less than ideal and you ahve to be honest with yourself - is this really that you don't feel your sway is good enough, or are you just scared to TTC?? (not faulting you, just want to get to the bottom of it!)

[atomic sagebrush]

No, not at all, I totally understand. I think you are wise to be taking that into consideration actually.

I'm not saying I think it's LIKELY, but I DO think that it may be possible that you could build or at the least maintain muscle becuase walking is not going to be super intense for you. I have lost a LOT of weight very quickly in a very unhealthy way and exercised a LOT and def. added muscle - my weight did drop but the propoirtion of my body was a lot more muscle and I looked like a trucker at 120 lbs.

I think it would prob. be ok esp. if it was walking rather than weights, but I just am wary of it. I can't know either way and so I tend to err on the side of extremes, either lots of exercise or no exercise because I don't know where to draw the line and it's very likely that the line for everyone is in a diff. place anyway.

Understand your struggles, it is hard to know what to do! So many choices! I like your idea of movies!!

Amari I am not a real big movie person in the last few years with always being on my macbook computer (I have a small online business), so I am trying to not be on the computer as much and watch more tv and movies. It definitely takes my mind off things and relaxes me. I am one of those people that has my computer next to my bed and checks my emails and news first thing in the morning...lol. I have started leaving it down stairs at night. I know this helps with a little less positive ions in the room.

We watched the new muppet movie with the kids last night. It was actually really good. I think the licorice root is working on my husband, because he started tearing up in parts of the movie (telling me that is so sad). I have never seen him cry at a movie. He is quite the smart ass when I start crying at a movie...lol He has some dear memories of watching the muppets with his mom as a kid.

I've been wanting to see that movie. That is awesome! It must be working!! ; )
