Successes/struggles this week:

Week 1: I was surprised by the unexpected weight loss but certainly not complaining. I have been doing a lot of walking so that helps no doubt. Christmas festivities ahead so that will likely take a weight toll too upward so it's good to have a few lbs banked I guess. Also, light is at the end of the tunnel for the top end of my goal weight. Nice present for myself if I get there.

Successes/struggles this week: 
     My struggles this week were actually preparing for days out. Diabetics and pre-diabetics should remember to eat healthy snacks at regular times throughout the day. Not being prepared when you go out (like we do during the Christmas holiday season) can adversely affect your condition - as does eating the wrong types of foods. People with type 2 diabetes are usually overweight. We become overweight and develop type 2 diabetes because of the way we eat. Going out unprepared exacerbates our conditions. This week I struggled with eating properly and eating at regular intervals. By not eating properly I ended up eating lots of fast food and lots of sweets. This Christmas & New Years holiday season I see a lot of eating heavy sweets/desserts & unhealthy foods in my future; I fear I will be struggling with that for the rest of this year. Fortunately there are only 23 days left in this year (lol)

Successes/struggles this week:

Ay chihuahua! I've been slacking off for about a month and a half, it's a slippery slope! I'm ready to get back to basics now in order to reel it in! I have serious issues with moderation, particularly with sweets, so I need to take a break from sweet things for now reset my taste buds.

Looking forward to the journey with my MFP team mates!
