In the past if I had a 5k race and a yoga class in the same day, the race would get top billing. But thanks to the help and support of my acupuncturist, Dr. Kimberly Sperling, I am putting things in their proper perspective. Through proper diet, visualization and acupuncture Dr. Sperling is helping me get my blood sugar numbers under control. Last week the evening numbers were very good but the morning numbers were not so good. But this morning's reading of 114, which followed a 103 was quite excellent indeed!
Having said that, there was a 5k race this morning at Sunset Park. Achy knees almost kept me home, but I proceeded on to take 2nd in my age group despite a slow (for me) time of 25:22. But it was a great way to start the day and I knew I had given my best effort when I almost threw up at the finish.
It was a beautiful day in Las Vegas as temps soared into the 70s and what made it more beautiful was that I didn't have to work. This rare Saturday off wasn't wasted as I headed out to Red Rock for Cheryl's Blue Sky Yoga class. It was exhilarating and enlightening as usual. Now I'll just try to focus on normal blood sugar readings and shoot for the improbable but not impossible cure for this potentially debilitating disease.
