Hello.
I hope everyone else is well.
I'm going to drop out of this challenge.
Apparently my blood sugars spiked huge at my doctors appointment on Friday and it was a rough day/weekend to say the least. I was given Insulin, at least through the weekend and my numbers are still just so high. I'm not feeling well, but no different than I really was before the high numbers, so they're trying to figure out Why and I'm just really frustrated with this whole Diabetes mess. 😢

@tinaBawesome hugs to you. Is there a chance that your monthly cycle, a medication that you take, infection, or weather fronts have thrown off your sugars? I use to have high sugars at noon every day but it was caused by a medication that I took in the morning. Also low weather fronts like rain or snow would elevate my sugars. Diabetes is rough it affects every system in your body and it isn't always apparent what causes the spikes. Hope you get your sugars under control.2

A little disappointed in the scale this morning. I was doing really well up to Saturday night and then I kinda fell off the wagon. I came home from the hike and started eating junk. This week I have a plan of attack including one day of fasting. I have to make sure I am on track before Saturday being since we are going back home for 3 birthdays
You have a plan to get you back on track so that’s good. Do you find it hard to fast a full 24 hours? Are you allowed coffee or anything else? I struggle to do 16:8.
You can have coffee as long as it's black and lots of water. I struggle a little when I get off work but if I can get past that I am good. Secret is to stay busy and off of pinterest and the food apps.3 -

Good morning everyone... I made it to Manitoulin and Back relatively unharmed. Unfortunately I'm not doing much better either. All my time has been spent ethier driving (which is comfortable), or laying on a couch or a bed. Granted it's been a bit easier to sleep at night. However, walking quickly ramps up the pain and tightness running down my legs to my ankles.
So all considered, I'm once again pretty surprised and happy with my weight loss, cause I haven't done a lick of cardio for almost 2 weeks. And I pretty much ate the same as always. So Yahoooo. I suspect I'll see a gain when I get back at it (hopefully soon).
I've started doing some stretching at night and in the morning, and I'll even try to get some in at work here. In hopes of turning this thing around quicker. Lynn and I also have an appointment with a Chiropractor a week from today. (yeah i wish it was sooner, but it is what it is.).
Happy thoughts...!5 -

I wish you the best getting your blood sugars under control. I know when I first started taking insulin it took awhile to get it ramped up to the correct dose. Hugs!2 -

Jonathan, I feel so bad for you. Hopefully the chiropractor helps. It is so frustrating when we get sidelined. Is there any way you can get to a pool? I find it so helpful as I can exercise without pain for the most part. Also, stretching is so much easier in a pool.2 -
