Kashi Blueberry Breakfast

Good Morning...

I wanted to post what I ate this morning..it was pretty good...I'm not gonna lie...

I had 1/2 cup of Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Flakes & Blueberry Clusters in some no sugar added Silk Soy milk. It's loaded with tons of antioxidants, reduces cholesterol and helps support healthy arteries. How awesome is that. Mostly, I'm not too fond of Kashi products mostly because I'm allergic to most of them) but this one was pretty good.

The One Year Challenge...are you ready?

Okay Guys,

I am back. I have a little bit more time before I go to bed. So, I've been on this kick the past few days. I've been really thinking about my mom's death and thinking about her life. She was an awesome mother, but she just didn't take care of herself (health wise). The past 6 years I really haven't done too much. I've gone on a few heath kicks...the largest I've ever been is 215 lbs. I went down to 182 lbs. from 193 lbs. last year (I went through a lot of emotions and depression last summer...trying to find a job especially just right out of college ...nothing). I end up moving home to NJ in December of last year and put on 10 lbs. This year has been challenging for me. Not only physically, but emotional I have been through the ringer, but I have decided I am going to trust in my God and He will help me get better and be better to myself and my health.

I want to do so many things in life...I am an artist...that is what I went to school for and that is what I want to do with my life. I want to make an impact through that...the only way I can do that is by taking care of myself and living long enough to do it.

So, everyday I am committing to walking (in the future running) for at least 30 min./day at least 5 days/week. I am going to track my up and downs...weaknesses and victories through this blog. I am hoping that I can make some kind of an impact on others....I will share my vulnerabilities...anxieties...and woes! [there will be a lot of them! :)]

BUT I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED! [ she says in a dramatic way]

I invite anyone who chooses...to follow me...help support me! Maybe we can be an encouragement to each other. Lord knows...I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET! Leave a comment on what you think!

- Sincerely,

DB

Hi ALL!

This is my first posting. I only have a few mins before I have to go but I wanted to give a brief overview of why I chose to create this blog.

I HAVE NO CLUE!

I really want to track my journey. I have had diabetes for 6 years now. Since I was 18 years old. My mother had it and she end up dying from a massive heart attack when I was 9 years old. She was ONLY 35. To be honest I dont really know to much it but what I do know is that I want to find out and share with whoever has an interest. Throughout this next year I will be tracking my journey to a healthier lifestyle; share with you my mistakes as well as my victories!

I am determined to FIGHT DIABETES..this killer that takes so many lives! I will do my best and hope that you all are in for a great ride!

- Sincerely,

Diabetic Beauty! [DB for short]
