Back to school: How you can benefit from it?

Hi,

Sorry been so busy getting Adam ready and back to school! and guess what I discovered that can make our lives a bit easier and healthier too? Lunchables or Lunchmates! Walmart had them for 2 for $5, not a bad deal for a school lunch. Inside has a bread type item (crackers, pita pizza or hamburger bun), a meat and/or cheese and a tiny dessert. The items are small, but it is enough to snack on as a mid morning or quickie lunch, add a banana or small side salad and can be a quick, easy and healthy lunch! You can get ham and cheese, turkey, salami, cheese pizza, nachos, hot dogs and hamburgers. I tried the hamburger one and I added a piece of lettuce and tomato and diced up a banana. I must say it was filling for my lunch!

I hope you enjoy it!

How to fulfil your sweet tooth? Very easy and with Chocolate too!

Hi All!

So today after lunch, I had a craving for a sweet dessert. Since I don't keep ice cream in the house anymore, I found this very easy way to fulfil my sweet tooth with chocolate and there is less than 5g of sugar! So when I crave that 'chocolate' (Girls, you know what that craving means!!) I have this:

Keep fresh bananas and a bottle of the chocolate syrup (for Nestle Quik or whatever brand you choose),

Chop up the banana and drizzle about 1/3 teaspoon over the banana pieces.

I put my banana pieces in a bowl and do 3 waves of drizzle on it.

Now I don't eat this every day... well actually I have a banana every day but not with the chocolate syrup... the syrup is when I really need to fill those 'chocolate cravings' ;)

So don't go all crazy and use up a full bottle of chocolate syrup lol

There are other flavors of the syrup so try another kind but I always look at the sugar content and judge how much can I actually use?

I hope you enjoy my blog and feel free to share with others! ^.^

Yay! I lost 12 pounds in a month! Here’s my simple tips:

Hello all!

Sorry I haven’t blogged in days… just haven’t been sleeping much, the insomnia hitting me hard the past 5 days (yes, its 3:30am and I can’t sleep yet again)

Well after 5 weeks I decided to weigh myself and guess what? I lost 12 pounds! Yippee! Just 15 pounds to go for my ideal BMI, but as most diabetics, it’s around my waistline and its a lot harder to get rid of!

I admit I have a habit of drinking too much diet coke and eating some chips or popcorn (usually with my son) when we watch a movie… and then after a few handfuls, I feel so guilty and bad about myself… even sneak in the occasional bite or 2 of a chocolate bar…

But here’s a tip my friend told me and it really helped, not just lose the weight but not feel bad when I do occasionally eat the ‘junk’ foods:

She said: “Del everyone is going to eat junk at times and no point feeling bad and guilty and punishing yourself over it. It will just cause you more stress and want to eat more of it… so try this: when you get the urge to eat something, go to the kitchen and tell yourself  ’I'm going to make myself a small bowl of oatmeal and eat it’ and as a reward I will treat myself to some chips or popcorn’. So I tried this and guess what? after I had my oatmeal, I felt fuller and the urge for the chips or popcorn went away! 9 times out of 10 I didn’t eat those things. But when I did eat it, I felt guilt free because this is my reward for having the oatmeal!  I didn’t berate myself or felt bad how I ate ‘junk food’ but instead, just thought of it as a ‘reward’ for eating the oatmeal. Lately when I went to get the oatmeal, instead I would grab some granola bars or apples or cheese and crackers instead! There is only so much oatmeal a girl can eat!  :)

If you don’t like oatmeal, pick something else that is healthy and you enjoy..instant cup-a-soup, bowl of cereal or yogurt, or some cheese or celery and carrots! Just try to keep it simple and easy so it doesn’t feel like its a chore to get your snack.  I buy blocks of cheese and I sit at the table and use my cleaver and slice them all, then put it in a ziploc. You can do this with your favorite cheese and its a quick and easy snack to grab from the fridge . It doesn’t last more than 2 days because my son loves eating cheese too! 

Now I have been doing the same with my diet coke… I tell myself “I will drink a glass of water and as a reward, I will have my diet coke!” Most times after the nice icy cold water, I feel refreshed and skip the diet coke.. or just get another glass of water! I like my water icy! So keep ice cubes in your freezer!

Lately, I have also incorporated some on the spot stretches and exercises too now… I tell myself as a reward for doing these exercises for 5 mins, I will treat myself with (what ever I was in the mood for). I am surprised because I am doing this 3-4 times a day now!

I know the most common complaint with doing an exercise is ‘its boring’ but I play a youtube video (some favorite songs) while doing it and so its about 5 minutes give or take.

Again, always consult your doctor before doing starting a new exercise routine!

Some simple exercises I found online from people are the following:

“Jumping Jacks are a classic, as is just sucking in your gut and flexing the abs…you can do “crunches” by repeatedly reaching for the remote on the table in front of you whether you need the remote or not.”

“Simple isometrics like butt clenching, fist making, standing on tiptoes, pushing hands against each other, curl your own arms (push down with one while curling with the other)”

“Jogging on the spot is another lucid exercise that is great for the heart. One can jog in a place while playing music, watching television and so on. Apart from an investment on a good pair of shoes, you won’t have to shave off a single penny to get started. As such, one can perform this activity without the shoes as well; however, this decision might prove to be stressful on your legs.”

“Pushup is considered to be one of the best home exercises ever. With diet alteration, one can achieve weight loss as well as muscle gain with the aid of pushups. Also, it’s easy to perform this exercise, especially when you practice it on daily basis. Within few months of practice, one will be able to do hundreds of pushups within half an hour or so. The best part is that it works on various body muscles such as chest, arms, biceps, shoulder, legs etc.”

Diabetes and Exercise:

Hello All!

Let’s talk about something most of us don’t like and try to avoid… Exercise!

Exercise is very important in managing type 2 diabetes. Combining diet, exercise, and medicine (when prescribed) can help control your weight and blood sugar level.

Exercise helps control type 2 diabetes by:

- Improving your body’s use of insulin
- Burning excess body fat, helping to decrease and control weight (decreased body fat results in improved insulin sensitivity)
- Improving muscle strength
- Increasing bone density and strength
- Lowering blood pressure
- Helping to protect against heart and blood vessel disease by lowering ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol and increasing ‘good’ HDL cholesterol
- Improving blood circulation and reducing your risk of heart disease and stroke
- Increasing energy level and enhancing work capacity
Reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and releasing tension and anxiety

How Does Exercise Affect Blood Sugar Levels?

Normally, insulin is released from the pancreas when the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood increases, such as after eating. Insulin stimulates the liver and muscles to take in excess glucose. This results in a lowering of the blood sugar level.

When exercising, the body needs extra energy or fuel (in the form of glucose) for the exercising muscles. For short bursts of exercise, such as a quick sprint to catch the bus, the muscles and the liver can release stores of glucose for fuel. With continued moderate exercising, however, your muscles take up glucose at up to 20 times the normal rate. This helps lowers blood sugar levels. At the same time insulin levels may drop in anyone not taking insulin so the risks of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is minimized.

But intense exercise can have the opposite effect and actually temporarily increase your blood glucose levels right after you stop exercising. This is especially true for many people with diabetes. The body recognizes intense exercise as a stress and releases stress hormones that tell your body to increase available blood sugar to fuel your muscles. If you have diabetes you may need to check your sugar after exercise to see if this happens to you.

Is Blood Sugar Ever Too High to Exercise?

Yes. In some cases, you should hold off on exercising if your blood sugar is very high and your body is producing ketones. Ask your doctor about if and when you should hold off on exercise.

Bottom line: Always consult your doctor before starting an exercise routine. Have your blood tested also. As in my case, I was producing too much ketones and have to do light to moderate exercises. Most of us don’t like to do it but if you break it down into 5-10 minute increments several times a day, it will help you a great deal!
