Another week of excitement....
Okay -- The excitement was that after a swimming trip with Ron, I found myself getting really droopy. Seems that I really need to plan some small amounts of food before going to exercise. You know that old adage about not eating before going swimming. Looks like there's another myth out the proverbial window. A blood sugar score of 46 is way too low. I've had lower, but this really scared me. Fortunately, Ron was present to supply me with aid and calories (two popsicles)to get me propped up. Afterward, I had supper and went promptly to bed.
Just in case this could happen again there will now be some food riding in my gym bag. I love the idea of going swimming; it is one of the few times I can actually feel as if my body can move normally. My aim is to use my pool time to build my aerobic strength along with working with weights to give my muscles and bones something positive to do.
Tonight I also have plans to do a bit of meditation in preparation for my work days. There's also a few things to do over the weekend. Fest is coming up quickly and I need to go through my garb and see if all is ready for the fall weekend in Wichita. Ron has reserved our usual hotel space and I have that weekend off work. There are also tentative plans for me to visit my mother for a few days before the fair begins.
I'm also planning to take a knitting class at the local yarn shop/place that tries to suck the money out of my pocket. It should be fun and something new for me. There is a lot to keep me busy in the coming weeks. One of the best things is a housewarming part for the friends who moved into an adorable little house last month.
