Dear Silvestro,
Hi, how are you? I am feeling a little down today. I think your the only person who can pick me up. I have been doing a 45 minute walk everyday but its getting me no where.
I know what the problem is. I am a glucose intolerant and the doctors seem to think i might have PCOS. At the moment i just feel like i am going around and around in circles.I never feel hungry, sometimes i have to make myself eat something. Then i when i do feel like something its not real hunger. It usually stress or tiredness. My dietitian thinks that i have to do at least one hour and half to begin with. Which i don't mind doing, however what else can i do? Do those strength exercises count? such as weights, ab exercises etc. Do you have any other ideas that i can use to lengthen my exercise time.I am just really lost here Silvestro but i am scared because i am literally one step away from developing full blown diabetes. At the moment i am just trying to be as positive as i can but its really hard. These are the cards that i have been dealt and i just have to accept that this is what i must do.I am sorry to keep going on, i realise that you are probably very busy but any feed back you have would be greatly appreciated.

Katrina is awsome
Tonight i made a break through. All of our friends decided to go bowling. Traditionally i am hopeless at bowling, my ball is regular visitor to the gutter.
Anyway, i started bowling and i continuelly rolledmy ball into the gatter. After each ball my friends would snigger and laugh. Anyway after about 7 games i said to myself. I can do this, i love myself i am capable of anything. I also looked at my score and said "i have already achieved this much, i can do it. After that.... i actually started scoring. I came last in the whole game but who cares about that, i actually hit the pins. The first game i scored about 38.
The second game i beat my score and didnt come last. I scored 85.
The third game i started to put a bit of pressure on myself which i should do. I tried to talk myself out of it but i went about it the wrong way. I achieved my goal there was no need to put pressure on myself to score a strike. However, its going to take a considerable amount of time for me to change my way of thinking. I am not going to put pressure on myself to change a life time of habits in one sitting. I will get there, i just have to be patient with myself. I scored 58 in the third game. I came last but who cares, the highest i have ever scored in 15, i achieved something tonight. Actually i achieved a lot of things tonight. Besides my purpose was to have fun.
I was a little shaken after the bowling game, i think its because of the pressure i was putting myself under. But as i said, changing my way of thinking is going to take time.
I am on the right path, i can feel it. I just have to keep believing.

2 minutes crunches hands behind head
1 minute plank
3 sets x 12 shoulder press
3 sets x 12 bench press

Although i did alot i dont like this program because i should be focusing on one body part per day.
Especially on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays when there is no training.

its so hard
Over the last week i have been fabulous with my exercising. I have been walking at least 45 minutes a day and attending training. One day, when i was in the city i walked 3 hours and went to training later that night.
The only thing is that i have been experiencing diarrhea. At first i thought it was a virus but i haven't had any other symptoms. But at about 3pm every day i am sick. The only thing i have done different is eat a little more of the good fats but that is the only thing that is different. I am hoping that its my bodies way of cleaning out because i have increased my exercise. However, i have lost no weight, in fact i have gained or stabolised a little bit. If it continues until Monday i might contact the doctor.
Tonight i went to Woolworth's to buy some milk. As soon as i walked in i started craving something sweet. However, i stuck to my guns and in the end i came out with what i went for. Milk only! Its been a long time since i have been able to resist a strong craving. That's an achievement that i think deserves recognition.

I am fabulous
The last few days i have been determind to change my life for the better. I have been eating really healthy and exercising everyday. My out look is changing and i am beginning to love myself more and more everyday and I am trying not to let anything effect me at all.
Yesterday i went to the city for the day. Normally i would buy myself a treat such as a chocolate or a ice cream. I didnt do that and i also had a really healthy lunch.
One thing i have been eating is rice paper rolls. I shouldn't eat to much of them because they are carbs but they are so fresh. However, they are good carbs and i would rather be eating them than a chocolate bar or something worse. Sugar makes me so sick sometimes.
I really want the weight to come off and i have never been more determined than i am right now. I want this to be my year.
Another thing is, a friend of mine i have been told might contact me. This person has hurt me very badly TWICE before. I dont think i will be making the same mistake again.
