With the stress of the holidays and the abundance of good food, it was not hard to fall back into old habits and old routines. A huge step in the wrong direction for me, but for the first time EVER! I have recognized that I am falling back to old patterns and I am able to pick up and begin again.
So, I woke up this morning and took my sugar so I know where to start. It was 205 after fasting for 14 hours, NOT Good. So it was a Whey Protein Shake and 1/2 a fat free blue berry muffin for breakfast. One of the things that I stopped doing was journalling my food. Hence, I set myself up to not be accountable, I am a smart addict, setting myself up for "success" and not even realizing it until the damage is done. The other thing I didn't do was take my blood sugars at all from Dec 23rd until today. Nor did I take any of my medications. I am too busy, or I will get to it later, or just plain old forgot. Which leads me to my third and final pit fall. I stopped making this weight loss journey a priority in my life.
But it's ok. Because I know what I need to do to get back on track. I started today. 1) Getting healthy and taking care of myself is my #1 priority. Repeat, post reminders!!! 2) Keep track of my food intake, be honest, be accountable and use that journal to improve on my eating habits. 3) Take my blood sugar and medications as prescribed on a consistent basis!!
So I am asking you, my readers, to ask me how it's going, to ask me if I have taken my meds, to ask me how my sugar is being maintained. I need you to help me! I am practicing honest, I need to be accountable and when you don't see me blog for a month, let me have it! I need you!
