The day got off to an unpleasant start with a 188 blood sugar reading. That's about 60 points too high. But I wasn't surprised after altering my healthy lifestyle the day before. I can't be perfect every day, I'm only human.
Fortunately my second acupuncture treatment with Dr. Kimberly Sperling was scheduled for this morning. Dr. Sperling really does care about my mental, physical and spiritual health and made many positive suggestions before we began the treatment. Once again the acupuncture was very relaxing and healing. A strange thing happened near the end. I felt a cool breeze all over my body. Later I asked the doctor about the phenomenon. It was before the door was opened. She said sometimes things like that just happen. It could have been toxins or maybe evil diabetes spirits leaving my body as blockages were set free.
Then it was off to discover a new trail at Red Rock. Today it was the Rocky Gap 4x4 trail that begins at the most western point of the park and steadily heads uphill to the highest peaks that rise to over 9,000 feet. The round trip is over 14 miles. I didn't make it that far today but I will someday. But I ran uphill for almost an hour and probably climbed 5,000 feet. That led to a beautiful bubbling creek that was more than half frozen. It was very peaceful to sit there and listen and watch the water flow through the rocks with ice everywhere. The descent was awesome as I floated downhill and viewed rock formations and ponderosa pines.
The day wouldn't have been complete without a little yoga with live music taught by one of my favorite teachers -- Kim.
When I got home and checked my blood it was down to 88. Almost 100 points lower that 12 hours earlier. I'm back on the healthy path again.
