[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the replies and input.

I have started using a CGM/dexcom (last 20 days) and it has been helpful for me to see the blood sugar after I eat my meals. I have a hard time with making good food choices when I am stressed (kids whining, long meetings at work, etc). So I'm trying to replace the habit of eating when stressed with something else...but it is a work in progress.

Before being focused on making improvement, I was only walking for exercise. Getting 6k average steps a day, sometimes more, sometimes less.

In the last 6 weeks, I have joined a studio and I do pilates 2 times a week (50 minute classes). I've started to walk 20 mins in the morning. I have started to do a light arm workout (10mins) once a week - this is via video/peloton app. If I try to do too much, I end up not doing it.

You need to do cardio 5X a week for at least 30 min. [/quote]

"Need" isn't the right word here -- particularly given the perfectly normal dynamic OP describes of not doing it once she gets too ambitious. [/quote]

Yes, it is.
