metallic taste and stuff:

i get a metallic taste after exercise usually in the

shower. a nurse practitioner told me it was because i

was reusing my water bottle over and over again. and

to basically use it once and throw it away--you know

the designer waters that you get a the grocery store.

anyway they recently came back. but it goes away

right after the shower--so i think for myself it may

have something to do with chlorine or something.

but it is something to keep in mind. especially if

you haven't been under good control for those bg's.

now about the dreaded exercise.

for myself--i must confess to not having checked my

sugars recently--most especially after a tough

workout. but i usually head straight for a slim fast

bar as fast i can cause i'm hungry enough to eat the

house!!!!

exercise is great. it usually helps me to reduce

stress--we all know what stress can do to our health

in general.

but i caution everyone--moderation and build up your

strength, toning and conditioning. you don't expect a

yearling horse to go out and run the kentucky derby

without a lot of work...its the exact same thing here.

that's why they wait til the spring of the horse's

3rd year to run the derby.

build your foundation--build it slowly, wisely and

with a lot of thought. as your body toughens--go

ahead and toughen your workouts. you will be so

amazed at what your body can do if you just give it a

chance.

and the best part of all of this. a long hot shower

afterwards...a brand new person.

one day at a time folks.
