Monday Weigh-In

Hello All. I've not been posting much for the last couple of weeks. Can you tell that I am completely off-track? After the first week of enthusiasm, my diabetes diagnosis finally caught up to me and left me feeling depressed. I was and am still mourning the loss of the wonderful privilege of not having to restrict what I eat. This resulted in a rebellious series of binges. I am too ashamed to photograph my binges. So, no posts either. They weren't that bad really - except for two days, but I felt a great amount of shame eating carby food that I should be avoiding.

Last week, I got my blood glucose monitor and have been checking my BG 4-5 times a day. My blood glucose is serious crazy and out of whack! It's all over the place. In the last 5 days, it has varied from 93 to 238. Normal range is below 100 or 110 (depending on who you ask) when fasting, and around 140-ish a couple of hours after a meal. And a crazy thing happened this morning. When i checked my BG two hours after dinner yesterday, it was 122. This morning, it was 149. How the hell does that happen? There probably is a reason that I don't know about. Sigh!

Weighed in this morning at 221.0 lbs. Slightly up, but totally understandable given last week. Anyway - it's Monday and the first of a new month. This means that it's a great day for a re-start. Here is what my month looked like:

Purple stars for eating well and Silver starts for exercising. 10 days of exercise and 16 days of eating well. Notice how the last week is completely bare? :-(
