Sigh...still waiting for the grey skies to clear here in eastern Washington. My blood sugar was 96 this morning. I didn't eat before exercising which shot my blood sugar up to 113. I should've had a snack before. I'll remember better next time. I'm still loving my wii though I often have to place a chair near me for support and pay for my exertion by needing to lay down. Some days I just can't do it at all but that's the way it is. I have had to learn that making compromises didn't mean I had to give up. One of the saddest times of my life was realizing I couldn't work anymore, that I had to file for disability. To learn to make a new life wasn't easy as I've always been so outgoing. I loved hiking, shopping at the mall and dancing. I even loved working because it gave me independence. I had my own money and could make my own decisions. Life is often a trade-off. For everything I do there is something else I no longer have the strength for. The Spoon Theory explains this so well. I hope all my buddies are doing well!! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Hi Ruby, doesn't sound like your giving up at all. Your just finding new ways
to enjoy your life. And you know what, I think your doing a great job. I have
to be close to my treadmill for support too, when doing the Wii fit stuff.
My balance is not what it used to be. The gray skies should start clearing
up soon. Have a good evening and remember I am only a P.M. away if you need
to talk...Hugs back at ya...Bren

Thanks bunches Bren. Aww.. I'm alright. The winter is just sooo long I get kinda bummed.
Your balance is bad too? Boy that sure does mess us up doesn't it? Before they dxd me with fibro they were sure I had MS. I have had some nasty spills with some really deep bruising which is why I take my walker when I have appointments out of town. My legs suddenly stop moving especially if I'm very tired. I do pretty good with a grocery cart so I don't bother lugging it around when I shop. When I'm out walking, I have to be real careful but last summer I fell on my knees. Boy did that hurt but I usually try to take a walking buddy with me and I stick close to home anyway.
And yeah, my 1st time on the wii fit and they ask me to close my eyes, I'm like, yeah right lmao! I'd fall down if I did that haha. Can't do the standing stretching yoga stuff either cause I can't balance at all doing that. For the most part, I'm sticking to the island game lol. {{{HUGGERS}}}

Yeah I like the island stuff too. Have you hoola hooped any? thats fun but
I still have to hold on to the something. I am sure I look lop side as I have
one arm holding on and the other one just out to the side. Its still fun and
I'll keep on doing it...I used to be able to do the yoga back 20 years ago
but not without holding on now.

Yup, I do the hoola hoop. It's kind of funny moving without an actual hoola hoop though lol. I don't know about you but my list of the things I could do even just 14 years ago is getting much, much longer. It all just sux, Bren <smiling>
