Through all of this time, and all of the little steps we are making towards my goals, we have recognized a “change process” that I unconsciously follow. Scott notices a “problem” in his lifestyle or habits that he knows logically he “should” want to change. As Scott considers what it would entail to actually make these changes in his life, he gets overwhelmed or intimidated by the idea of making such drastic changes. He knows he should for the sake of his health and happiness, but he doesn’t want t...

Sullivan, MD, shared their insights as well. Today, Ginger Vieira, a patient living with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, says: “You, as the patient, are the most important part of the medical team because you are the one who makes the daily decisions, who balances your disease around dinners, soccer games, long hours at work without enough time to check your blood sugar and eat lunch. You are the one who takes the knowledge you learn from your doctor and fits it into your everyday life. That’s a huge role, and it’s never easy.” Ginger Vieira shares her story about the challenges and how her positive attitude is al...

On Wednesday morning I listened in to Kerri & Amy do a great presentation called "Finding Your Online Voice".  I loved it.  I thought Kerri & Amy were perfect hosts and leaders, and that the information was well received.  There were lots of questions, ranging from "how do I do it?" to "what about privacy concerns?" I hope that a few people found the inspiration to start sharing their stories.  After the session, I jumped on Kerri's coattails to go meet Charlie ...

She also holds 14 national, drug-tested powerlifting records AND the Vermont state record for the female bench press!  Holy Crap, right?  I say that Ginger is an angel because her mission in life is to help others.  And she is good at it (that qualifies for "understatement of the year").  I m...

Exercise . . . love it or hate it? Do you have a regular exercise routine? Or do you have trouble finding your exercise motivation? How do you manage your insulin and food to avoid bottoming out during your workout? Today is the day to tell us all about your exercise habits, or lack thereof. I miss exercise, in a totally theoretical sort of way. I don't miss it enough to get out and get moving again, even though I know I need to. I also know that I will feel a million times better once I do. But I keep finding excuses to not take that first step. It's all bullshit too. Total and complete crap. There have been two distinct life changes that come to mind regarding exercise, both work related. From 2003 to 2005 I worked at the Federal Reserve Bank...

Within a few hours it evolved into an actual list of exercises to do the following Monday. We need to pause here so I can tell you a bit mo...
