Here’s the Plan

I’ve begun with the first day of my summer layoff from School Bus driving, back on June 19, 2026. That’s at the very bottom of this list. Each ride I’ll add to the top of the list here. You’ll note that there are cumulative Duration and Distance as well as those stats for each ride.

So far I’m alternating days of exercise. 7 km on low days, and 10-12 km rides on high days. Each day I’m stretching my muscles for increased flexibility.

Each day I notice my left knee is getting stronger. I know this because the pain in that knee is non-existent right now. My overall health is also being tracked.

Time in range is a measurement of the percentage of time that my blood sugar is between 3.9 and 10.0 mmols. The Doctor wants me to be at 70%. Cheryl and I shoot for 100% within range, which is about impossible, but if I settle for 70% the unpredictable events make me plumet to drastic low %’s. So, we try for 100%

As my weight and fitness improve, the hope is that my body’s ability to process glucose will improve.
