My "Ironman"

Since Shad has been diagnosed with diabetes he has been making some major changes. He has started running again. I have woken up to see him just come home from running down to the lake and back which is round trip a couple miles. He has lost about 10 pounds and has lowered his blood pressure to a safer level. He has also changed his diet and been eating better. Hopefully, with these changes he will be able to go off of his diabetic medicine. I am soooooo proud of him. He has made changes that most people think are too hard or they can't do. With all that he has been through he still pushes through his pain. He told me the other day that he isn't going to die because of something he could have changed/that he has control over. We have been watching the Biggest Loser and it has had an impact on our family. It is sad to see so many people ready to die at any moment because of something they could change and choose not to. Learning more about diabetes has been a real eye opener. I am very grateful for Shad and all that he is doing to take care of himself for himself, me, Brin and our son!!
