Living with Diabetes and Lapband

Hoping this is a good sign of things to come, but I weigh the least I have weighed since I was diagnosed with diabetes -- and maybe less than a few years before that.

I was stuck this summer, not able to lose any more weight after the initial Sylmin, and I knew a lot of it was activity level. I was so busy finishing up my classes, that I was spending a majority of my day sitting in front of the computer writing.

Well, last week I was busy setting up my classroom and DID get dehydrated, but managed to put that fluid weight back in. I don't think that is a problem this week, as I have been forcing fluids in the evening.

I am more active in this classroom than I was in the old one. I was a bit tied down to the computer. I have been coming home with my feet aching, but I think I will get acclimated to that soon. Especially if I keep losing weight. Of course, we all know, the less I weigh, the easier it will be to get around.

I've just about acclimated to the building too. My sinus symthoms are much better, I don't feel near as stuff as I did.

I am also sleeping through the night, both last night and the night before. I had been waking up about 4:00 am every night after school started and was also having trouble getting to sleep. I think things will be okay though, as I have a good handle on what I am going to do with my students next week.

Hopefully I can get all my planning for next week done at school before the weekend, as I have an agility trial next weekend.
