I started a new job a couple of weeks ago at Insulet Corp. Insulet produces Insulin Pumps to be used by
diabetics. I am working on my third week
of training and it has been a pretty humbling experience. Basically I have learned that I need to be
more healthy and that we have an awesome product to help people. In that vein, I have begun to slowly change
some of my bad habits. I am writing here
to hold myself accountable to make more changes and make the changes
stick. My first change is working on my
diet. This will be the hard one. I know I drink too much soda and I need to
cut back on that or quit. I also need to
upgrade my food choices and cut down on portions. I have been better with my choices and have
added many vegetables to my diet. The
portion control has been hard. Yesterday
I went out for a 90 minute bike ride in the morning and then was hungry all
day!! I need to work on that.
I also need to keep a more regular exercise schedule. Yes, I am riding my bike but I need to add in
some runs and walks as well as a few trips to the gym. For this first four days this week I have had
a gym trip, run, walk and ride. I’m heading
in the right direction but gotta keep at it.
I have a weight loss goal and need to be diligent. I may share that goal but I’m not quite ready
to do that yet.
