CHANGE HAPPENS WHEN THE PAIN OF STAYING THE SAME EXCEEDS THAT OF MAKING A CHANGE.

For the past 30 days I have been religiously weighing and logging everying I eat. YES.I.WEIGH.EVERYTHING. I have had good days. I have had bad days. I have definitely had downright ugly days. But I get up the next morning, and start fresh. No dwelling on the downfalls. I started this journey not just to shed a few pounds ( okay more than a few- 138lbs to be exact), but wanted to get my blood sugars under control. I am a type 1 diabetic, on an insulin pump and have never seriously had control of my diet. I have also battled cancer twice and the oncologists have told me weight loss and blood glucose control will help prevent another recurrence. After 30 days:
1. I now know what a "normal" portion of a food is.
2. I have lost 7 lbs.
3. My blood glucose readings have improved DRAMATICALLY. When I went to my Endo Dr. 3 months ago, my daily blood glucose was averaging 250-300 or even higher.
Now, my daily average is 145.
It could be better, but I am a work in progress.

Thanks to my hubby for support and putting up with the craziness involved.

I look forward to the next 30 days :-)

That's a totally swoon-worthy set of accomplishments . . . already! And there'll be lots more goodness ahead, with that kind of commitment. Go, you!

Good job! Getting started is always the hardest part, so congrats on getting through the first month I'm finishing day 61 and I can say that it's definitely gotten even easier compared to day 30!
