Eating and Working Out

I would like to announce that I have been running 6 miles on Saturday now for a couple of weeks. I'm proud of that. Just thought I would mention my accomplishment. :)

I have some questions for you ladies. I don't know if anyone will have any ideas. But, I want to create a better diet for myself. I eat alot of beans and rice because I'm on a limited budget and it is cheap. I've read that you need to eat more fish. I don't really know how to prepare fish. I've also read that salmon is good for you. I would also like to try some healthy shakes and stuff, because I have blood sugar problems and sometimes that is a real bummer, you know.

I want to combine a good diet with a good workout plan that won't leave me with blood sugar problems. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your time,

rj

Gracemae, your post was a while back, but I have to say my jaw dropped when you said you only spend $25 a week on food. I spend that to prepare one meal for me, my partner, and her sister. Please share some tips! (That applies to Gracemae and anyone else -- should I make this a different topic?)

RJ I have ABSOLUTELY no advice for you as far as the exercise and eating thing goes, however even though it costs money I really think you should see a doctor. It sounds like a big problem. Also I wanted to say congrats on being so good about exercising -- 6 miles sounds like a mountain to me (I'm a bit of a couch potato). I've been reading through this thread and getting lots of good ideas. Thanks for starting it. :o)

I've not seen you here, so I would like to welcome you to the LL board. It is nice to have you here! :)

I have been tested for the big D before, but never came back as a diabetic. The doctors where I live aren't the best. I consider most of them to be quacks. LOL It can be so expensive. I think it must be what I'm eating and how my body breaks it down. I'm not so sure that I'm hypoglacemic. (spelling?) I mean, I could be having hypoglacemic episodes after working out, but that doesn't necessarily make me hypoglacemic. I may have to review some good books on diets--not diets to lose weight, but the overall diet. I'm almost certain this is coming from how my body asborbs certain foods.
