Oh Lordy....I got up in the middle of the night and was ravenously hungry, it was horrible. I could not get back to sleep. I ended up eating a left over hamburger from our holiday cookout yesterday and 2, count them, 2 slices of pumpkin bread. Well, I am not going to let this hinder me in eating well this week. I will not skip meals and I will stay on my plans. I will eat breakfast so I don't get so hungry during the day. I will have a snack after dinner to make sure I don't overeat if I wake up hungry.

Walked 3 miles before dinner. My dog Lucy actually wanted to quit before finishing the last lap. I had to remind her that at that particular park, it's five laps, not four.

Just tested my blood glucose before going to bed and it hit 115. This is the highest bedtime reading I've had since I started monitoring my BC for the past week. I am soooooooo upset. Tomorrow morning I see my dietitian and find out how my diet is working so far (I get weighed).
