The Wages of Sloth...

...and eating too much for dinner: A 213 blood sugar reading. Not good at all. I did ten minutes on the stair-step machine, but an hour later, it was still a too-high 170.

I have conflicting issues: I need to keep weight off my feet to let my left foot heal up from the plantar fasciitis, but if I don't exercise, my blood sugar goes up, and my most common and easiest form of exercise is walking.

Sympathies on the plantar fasciitis. I have that, too, but it fortunately hasn't bothered me in the past year.

I find walking doesn't affect my blood sugar enough. Fortunately, calimac and I had bought an exercise bike ages ago when we first moved in together. So we've had this thing sitting in our living room ready to use at any time. (To be honest, it has collected a lot of dust over the years, but now it's used regularly.) I find it is better for me with lowering my blood sugar. (I realize this kind of thing differs from person to person.) I'm glad we bought it and kept it even though there were some years when neither of us used it.
