I’m excited because yesterday my sugar was 127 and this morning it was 123. They are still considered high but i’m pretty stoked that they are in the 120’s. They are much better than the 140-150’s I was pulling. This only inspires me to walk more and eat better! Now to figure out what to have for breakfast!

Today I again did not get to walking. Instead, I spent the day cleaning the kitchen, bedrooms and livingroom. The day left me very tired but in the end I feel like I did a great cardio class. I was all over the place, leading me to wonder; is cleaning the housing an effective work out subsitute? I didn’t get up as early as I had planed but early enough. I feel good about my high protien, low carb breakfast. My morning blood sugar was 132, still not good; that bowl of ice cream late last night was probably not helpful. Today’s mistakes consisted of not eating every 2-3 hours, eating too fast (when I did eat-does anyone else have this problem?) and not drinking enough water. Tomorrow I will try harder to stick to a schedule…oh I can’t wait to start working so I can buy my own groceries. Today I recognized there are some issues I need to think more about; slowing down my eating…I mean really i’m not in a race, timing meals better and drinking more water! I think these things will get easier again once I am on a routine.

It is 1:03 AM Wed. The latest Biggest Loser episode waits for me patiently on my tivo. Despite having a love/hate relationship with that show, I can’t help but feel inspired to get back on track each time I watch it. My sugar yesterday morning was 146 (normal is 80-120) and I did not stick to the plan of eating right. I didn’t walk like I had intended to, but I did spend the day cleaning the garage and moving things. Tomorrow/today is a new day and I will be more aware of what i’m eating, checking my sugar and making time for ME to exercise. Its not that I dont like to exercise, its that I dont make it apart of my day anymore. I must remind myself exercise is an investment in me.
Today I realized soon my grad school applications will be due and I’ll (with all luck) be starting in Sept! I DON’T want to start that new part of my life still fluffy! 26 is also around the cornor and that was never in the plans. I still remember at 21 thinking I would be healthier by 25. So there is no need to wait till Monday to start eating right, I will start today; Wednsday!
