31 October 2014

In Honor of Veteran's Day, I'm using my Dad's Navy picture from World War II. He served from early 1944 to late 1945 aboard the USS Auburn (AGC-10). The ship received two Battle Stars during WWII for:

Iwo Jima Operation - Assault and Occupation 2/19/45 to 3/27/45
Okinawa Gunto Operation - Assault and Occupation 5/31/45 to 6/21/45

My father said he saw the flag raising on Mt Suribachi, Iwo Jima from his ship.

The ship served as the Flag ship during the Okinawa Operation and had over 60 Kamikaze attacks with little success due to the destroyers assigned to protect it.

After the surrender of Japan, the ship went to several ports in Japan assisting in the Occupation of Japan. Included in these ports was Nagasaki, the 2nd city of Japan that the Atomic Bomb was used.

My Father passed on September 24, 2003 and I miss him very much.

* Sugar 89 * BP 111/66 * Pulse 62

Not a bad week! 3.2 Loss and Sugar has been below 100 for 5 days in a row.

Exercising in the PM after dinner seems to be beneficial for me. It might even have something to do with my sugar staying under 100. I also realized that I have been sleeping better too. So I will continue to do my exercising in the PM to see if my success continues.

For the last couple of days, I have been exercising at night (around 9:30 PM). I read that if you eat later in the day (I do, 6-7 PM), then you should do your exercises after dinner to maximize the benefit. The 1st day I consumed 2041 calories, did exercise in AM & PM and had a 1 lb drop. The 2nd day I consumed 1072 calories and did exercise in PM and had a 1 lb drop again this morning.

So I'm going to try doing my exercises in the PM after dinner. I know two days isn't that much to go by, but I do feel more confident now that I won't lazy out and skip them (which was my concern when I first started exercising). It also gets me off the couch after dinner. Will see how it works out.

Have a Happy Thursday!

Sugar 94 (46th day after being off Sugar Meds)
BP 117/68 (46th day after starting 1/2 dose BP Meds)
Pulse 63

Two Hours of cleaning up leaves today. As usual, when I started there was hardly a breeze, and halfway through, the wind came out of nowhere and replaced half the leaves I cleared up with new leaves. Trees around me are about half empty, so maybe another couple of weeks of cleaning them up.

Will try to do my exercises later today. Shoulders are sore from holding that big leaf vacuum. Felt guilty yesterday after eating pizza and Italian pastry so I did another round of exercises last night. Worked out for me because I actually weighed in this morning about 1/2 lb lighter.

Daughter making pasta with Italian sausage tonight and garlic bread. Skipped lunch and had a light breakfast to leave room for the extra calories. Must remember portion control and not eat for two and I'll be alright. Good inspiration to do the exercise tonight.

Exercise Done!

October 28, 2014 (2nd entry for exercise today)

Neighbor treated me to pizza (3 slices) and mussels in sauce (12) along with an Italian pastry called Sfogliatelle (looks like a clam shell filled with ricotta cheese and sprinkled with powdered sugar). Pizza was 1286 calories, Mussels were 161 calories and Pastry (1/2) was 221 calories for a total of 1668 calories. Was not planning on that today.

For my penance, I did a another round of exercises tonight. At least I'll keep the damage down to a minimum.
