, Okay, I admit it. I have totally neglected my health, and definitely the exercise, for over a year now.. and trust me I am paying for it.
Last fall I was diagnosed with gastroparesis.. the paralysis of the stomach. My stomach is very slow to send the food on it's way.
So now I am dealing with not only the diet for diabetes but also a diet for the gastro... and they are very different.
Yesterday I went to a dietician who mainly stressed the gastro diet but we discussed how to coordinate the two. She was very helpful and gave me some really good information.
My job this week is to plan meals according to the information and when I can go shopping, next week, to buy the right stuff.
Praying that God will direct me and provide the funds so I can take care of myself.
The one thing I am once again going to try and do it the exercise.
I keep using my back pain as an excuse. Pain or not I need to move. And I saw on tv that they are saying stretching and yoga are better for lower back pain than surgery... I'm for that!
It's difficult for me to do yoga, getting up and down off the floor, and some of it goes against my Christian beliefs, but I can start with the stretching.. we'll see.
