It's another day and the scale was my friend this morning. Another pound gone!
For all the insights I've gained over the last month, it is still a disappointment to not see the weight drop faster. I have to admit that. I love finding out more about myself and doing the right things to lose the weight, but I really struggle with not getting down on myself day to day when the scale doesn't seem to agree with my changes fast enough for my liking.
I remind myself over and over and over...."You didn't get to the weight you are quickly. You can't expect to lose it overnight." But, it's really hard sometimes to grasp that truth and press on.
To compound matters, my blood sugar numbers are definitely NOT what they should be. I have to rethink all the med changes I've made and try a different approach. My Lantus is the problem as far as making it difficult to lose weight. It's one of the side effects of it. Lantus is the med I should have changed from the beginning (my diabetic nurse agrees on that). So, back to the drawing board. Back on Metformin and now trying to drop the Lantus a tiny bit each couple of days.
Last night (at bedtime), my blood sugar was great for evening (134). This morning it was 178!! I didn't eat after the 134 last night and am totally confused why it went up overnight and went so high. I'll be making an appointment with the nurse next week for help managing things. /sigh
Weight loss is and living a healthy life style are tough. It's all about changes and realizations and practicing the good things. It's all inter-related. Sometimes it sucks to get one thing under control and have another go wacky.
Today, I'll celebrate the pound off the scale and try not to let the negative blood sugar changes get me down.
I'm pressing on.
