Trump Weird News - Trump "Liabetes" - Pre-Existing Condition

“sorry i wasn’t expecting this, i almost never get patients who are as healthy as you”

LIKE LETS GOOOO HARD WORK IS PAYING OFF

I haven’t been feeling well this entire month after having that cold the last week of September. My body just hurts constantly, whether I stretch or not, workout or not. My joints hurt, my neck is on fire all the time. And I’ve been having annoying headaches that don’t go away with medications. I’ve also gotten so tired randomly throughout the day, like cannot keep my eyes open tired. I was thinking my vitamin D might be low again.

The NP I saw was so nice and listened to me. We discussed and both agreed I’m likely stressed and not realizing it so my body is displaying the overloading stress I have. Cause really if you asked me I’d say “psh no I’m not stressed I’m perfectly fine.” Except I’m not apparently.

So I got some labs done. When I was at the lab the nurse notified me that there was an order my pcp had put in probably in the summer when I saw her about my neck pain. I didn’t know about the order though, so the nurse asked if I wanted to do that now as well. I said sure, not knowing what the labs were.

Turns out it was to retest my A1c. And lo and behold it has gone up. From 5.7 in March to now 6.0.

Now that I got your attention, is anyone out there?

The more and more I share about my life on my podcast, the more I come to realize im not doing it anymore on here. I have so many memories of this place from my first shit post to my first introduction into the fitblr world and to my first live stream... I can confidently say that its because of tumblr that im more confident in putting my face out there from now on.

But where do we go from here? Im not deactivating. Too many memories for me. I've posted all my episodes on here and I feel like its all I do now.

That is until I went to go check my A1C which came back to a 6.7.

I noticed I lost a lot of weight (down 225 lbs in an unhealthy way) So the doctor upped my meds and told me I needed to start lifting weights or go walking but keep checking the sugars.

So its back to how my life was like in 2021 when I got the diabetes. I know my sugars are not going to go back down to the 100s over night but im trying. Back to eating healthier food and limiting myself from drinking anything thats not water to once a week.

And after not using it for 10 years, I reactivated my Zombies, Run! account which now has a Marvel version of the game.

This place looks like a ghost town these days. I checked my follow list and some OGs haven't updated for months, a few for a year. So if you happened to come across this post and are still around, let me know. I know I only post the episodes of the podcast but thats because I've shared my life from good or bad on here since I started and I figured I could continue to do that with the pod. And now that I have some news about my diabetes and my A1C I might continue to share those updates as well.

Simple Layered Salad

Sometimes I not in the mood to put much effort into lunch or dinner, there's nothing made ahead (surprise!) so what to do I ask myself. One of my fall backs is a layered salad. It's just romaine lettuce sliced thin, cottage cheese, fruit - pears, cantaloupe, berries, topped with sunflower seeds or what ever seed variety is to hand. Stack it up, grasp your fork and dig in. A healthy meal with little to no effort. Tip - the romaine and fruit can come already bagged/chopped so there is not even that chore for you - nice!

Romaine greens, sliced thin across the leaves

1 c.+ cottage cheese

1 - 2 pears, cored, sliced with skins

1/2 c.+ sunflower seeds

On a dinner plate, layer romaine, cottage cheese, pears, sunflower seeds to then grab up your fork and enjoy! Yes, it can be just that easy to make a healthy meal for yourself with little effort...sounds good to me and it is.

When I'm not gamboling up the stairs to throw together a healthy meal, I'm sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or I'm putting the finishing touches on hand crafted throw rugs torn from upcycled recycled thrifted cotton sheets which are then crocheted into round and oval throw rugs for my other online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter's have an online shop - www.etsy.com.shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers to wear for leisure, fun, or frolicking occasions.
