2009 BG Levels

For 2009, my AM fasting numbers were probably a little higher than I would have liked. I'm still on 1 shot of insulin at night--- 8 units now. I went from 7 to 8 at some point this year.

My average morning reading was 98. A graph of the daily readings is above.

2009 Weight Results

I weighed in everyday, first thing in the morning. I found that this kept my diet on track and kept me motivated. If the weight got too high, I could eat a little less that day.

The above graph shows the results.
Min: 150.5
Max: 156
Average: 153
Jan 1: 153
Dec 31: 153

Based on my size and build, this is a pretty good range for me.

2009 Workout Results

At the start of the year, my wife got me to do the the Lazyman Triathlon at our gym. Over 6 weeks, we had to run a marathon, swim 2.5 miles, and bike 112 miles. This was a good way to do some different workouts.

Around May, I started to keep track of my work-outs- it was a combination of running, jumping jacks, basketball, push ups, the plank, and sit-ups. I tried to do so weight training, but that didn't pan out so well.

Here were my documented totals for the year:
Miles run: 164.1
Minutes of cardio: 1,768
Minutes of b-ball: 2,460
Push-ups: 3,508
Seconds of Plank: 7,902 (mostly in 60 second chunks)
Sit ups: 5,538
Seconds of the Boat: 1,620
Minutes of Weights: 20 (whew, this is bad. before May i didn't write it down, and after May, i didn't do any)

Overall, not a bad year. If you average it out every day (and lump running, cardio, and b-ball together), I averaged about 15 minutes of aerobic, 10 push-ups, 15 sit-ups, and 20 seconds of the plank per day.

Let's see if I can keep this up in 2010!
