[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 1535773, member: 22572"] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170818/884a932beddbd29420c38eccf58805cf.jpg[/IMG] One step at a time.... And then another, and another. We know that this is what dealing with diabetes is about. No spectacular victories just a long slog of small wins. The important thing is to keep at it. Not to give up, not to let your guard down. I had to remind myself of this today as following a night of little sleep the temptation was to stay in bed a bid longer rather than go for a morning walk. Thankfully guilt got the better of me so I just complete another 4,25 km walk. Knocked a whole of 2 minutes off yesterday's time as well. It was not easy though. I set out a whole two hours later than I did yesterday, which in Nicosia in August is not a wise thing to do. It makes the difference between walking in a pleasant 22 degrees centigrade and a much warmer 27. By noon the temperature will be in the high 30s or low 40s!
