Wow, yea it's been about4 months since I blogged. I have not been a good diabetic lately. Life has clearly gotten in the way.
Let's see, where to start....
Well our 2nd car died a while back and we couldn't afford to fix it and every time hubby fixed somethig it still wouldn't work. So we had to share for about a month, when we work opposite shifts in opposite directions and had 1 in daycare and 1 on summer break. We finally reached out to someone from church and he was able to get it up and working again, thank God! Sharing is NOT fun for that long. My husband basically just didn't sleep lol, ever.
Then my little man has been sick with a GI illness for over 2 months and he cannot go to daycare because of it. So the hubby who never sleeps has now been going on minimal sleep for months. More GI tests for little man and wnext up a GI specialist, because we just don't have enough doctors already in this family.
I did find out my A1C went down to 6.2 last time I got tested, so that was great. However after that test was when my eating went downhill and exercise went out the window. When we shared a car it wasn't possible to get to the gym and then once I got my car back, I try to get home as fast as possible from work to relieve hubby from daddy duty.
I need to get back, I'm paying for it so I better go soon.
My back has also been hurting when I sleep in bed, I don't know why my back doesn't like being flat, so back to sleeping on the couch and it actually feels a lot better.
My feet go up and down being swollen depending on how much diet soda I've been drinking, which also fluctuates with how much I care from day to day about the carcinogens I'm taking in.
My face is even breaking out from the greasy food and chocolate and other unhealthy foods.
It's like God is throwing up the red flag and slapping me in the face with it lol, like "Hello down there, wake up and cut it out!"
I've got to get back into the habit of cooking on weekends, and to stock up on a few frozen dinners for when I can't cook because going out to eat at work every day is getting far too expensive and I don't have that kind of money and very little takeout is healthy. I cannot afford to eat at Doc Greens everyday, cha-ching!
So now I'm on the hunt for a diet buddy and I'm talking to local moms who work to hunt someone down that is as sarcastic and odd like me, who wants to be in this together.
Then I just have to re-stock my snacks at work so I eat more smaller meals, then need to remember to actually test my sugar twice a day, and then get my butt to the gym.
Oh and I got 2 diabetic cookbooks at Tuesday Morning the other day, one is a crock-pot book, so we shall see what kind of awesomeness comes from those books :).
Baby steps.....a billion steps back but trying to move back forward again.
