Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change

08/08-188.8-(Trend Weight: 189.4)-

08/15-190.8-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- It’s been a bad week filled with too much travel and not enough movement/exercise or diet control. So much sodium filled restaurant food and too many snacks along the way. I’ve got to get my head back into the game! I always hope to lose 1 lb per week and instead I gained 2! I can do better!

08/22-189.8-(Trend Weight: 190.5)- I was doing a bit better earlier in the week but the travel always bites me in the butt. Restaurant food and lots of sitting during the driving trips. It’s a way of life for me as I live in a very rural area. The good news is that all my medical tests and appointments came out with very nice results this time. So, at least my diabetic feet are okay for now, even though symptoms persist. It’s key that I keep my glucose numbers down for overall health and less issues related to Type 2 diabetes. Incentive! Have a great weekend everyone!

Challenge Weeks to come

It’s been a busy couple of weeks but I’m back! I think I’m going to switch to Friday updates because I am more likely to have time to do it. 😂

Good: I finally broke through my plateau! I’ve been holding right around 280 give or take for about three weeks and yesterday finally had a significant dip on the scale. Even with being on the plateau, I was 10 pounds down at my doctors visit (First thing in the morning weigh in was closer to 14 pounds down). i’ve managed to bring lunch consistently for the last two weeks, I’ve decided not to beat myself up over Starbucks and dining out for dinner a couple times a week. Starbucks for breakfast really isn’t that bad since I get egg bites and iced coffee with coconut milk. I thought it was very calorie loaded for a couple weeks because I was logging 2 Venti iced coffees instead of one! I’ve been making thoughtful choices for the most part when I have gone out for dinner. I’ve had musical rehearsals after school, meet the teacher night, and weekend choreography rehearsal for my show choir over the last two weeks, so I haven’t had as much time to food prep. I’m just glad that I’m doing as well as I am given my hectic schedule!

Not so good: had my follow up visit with my doctor, got the diabetes diagnosis 😕 oh well! It’s definitely more incentive to stay on track! Blood pressure was fine though so I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that too. Some hormone imbalance things, but we’re gonna see how things go with keeping the diabetes in check and see if it resolves itself. I have had fast food for two meals, one of those after getting my glucose monitor and holy blood sugar spike Batman! Definitely need to stay away from that stuff! Unfortunately, I had to miss Derby two weeks ago due to lesson planning that needed to get done and Derby day was the only day I had available to do it so I didn’t meet my activity goal that week.

Goals for this week: continue bringing lunch every day. More meal prep so there’s no more than two Starbucks and one dinner out this week. Fix my bike this weekend so I can have an additional option for activity since there’s no Roller Derby this weekend. No blood sugar spikes beyond normal range.

@Walela617 thanks for the words of encouragement! I think the changes I’ve made since that first appointment last month have already helped already, I’ve stayed in range except for that one big spike after my fast food indulgence and a small short lived spike when I had a Clif bar after roller derby practice. When my blood work was done my fasting blood glucose was 175! I hate to think what my daily average must have been given how much fast food I had been eating. My meds should be ready Wednesday so we’ll see how that goes!
