As you all know, if not some of you know that I do a lot of walking. Most days, it will be three sometimes 4 times a day, and average about anywhere from three to sometimes 6 miles in a day. I will admit that there those days that I have to push myself to do it, as I may be a bit tired, or don’t feel all that great, so when I do go, I make it quick and short. The walking helps me in different ways; like it helps clear out my head, it helps keep my glucose readings good, also it keeps the weight in check, and above all, it keeps me away from using insulin, which I’m so happy to be off that fucking stuff.
When out walking there are times I have to deal with the fucking morons, who see me in a crosswalk, and don’t even have the smarts to stop and let you cross. Really!! I will call them a jackass, or some other choice word or words, but in the long run, I end up letting it go, and proceed with my walk.
The other thing I would like to mention, is that I do meet some nice people who also out for a stroll, and then there is the one or three assholes, that I will totally ignore. Then there’s the one strange and or funny stuff, that just seem to make one’s day.
With all this said, one of the first questions my doctor asked when I saw her the other day was, are you still taking your walks, and the answer was yes I do, she was very pleased. She said she didn’t know to many people who got off the insulin and manage to stay off of it, and not to have any problems with my sugar and weight. As I said before, I do what works for me and just keep on doing it. No need to spend time in the ICU again, unless I necessarily have to which is never, ever.

I applaud you for your physical veracity. I also am impressed with your ability to keep a positive attitude while confronting those among us that have no respect for anyone beyond themselves. Embrace the good. Dismiss the bad. There is always going to be both. Select the sweetest fruit.

Good for you! I know what you mean about those assholes, we have to stay very aware while walking since they obviously are not! 😉

I do keep my eyes open and stay focused. There are moments when I zone out which can be a good thing.
