Aches, pains, and other whining; type 2 diabetes wears you down

Hi t2ds. I'm still struggling with losing the weight that the generic substitute for Avandia put on me. We bought a 3.0 hp treadmill last week, to augment the bit of recumbent bike riding I do 3-4 times a week. My left arm still hurts like hell from straining or ripping some muscles doing the boxing on Wii. I'm such a genius. Anyhow, the heavy protein and vegetable diet, a la Atkins, helped me get off about 10 lbs. but I'm stuck now, cheating a bit too much.

My sore arm wakes me up at night, so I come downstairs and eat something I don't need or even want. That's genius too.

The shitty weather here hasn't helped at all, it's been the winter and now spring from hell. It's been so shitty, cold, rainy, windy and it's annoying. I usually get outdoors and the yard work helps burn some calories; not this year so far.

I ready for the silver bullet for diabetes anytime, it just wears you down. And yet, I have little reason to be so self-obsessed, self-pitying as I'm damn lucky with what I would call 'everything else'. It's pretty easy to fall into a little well of selfness.
