onmyway's Journal, 16 August 2010

Okay, full confession time. lol My weight is 192.8 today, up .4 from yesterday. Honestly, I'm thrilled with that! I expect I probably have some water weight from the chips I ate at the shower, so to still be under 193 is fine by me. It's also 1.4 lbs under last Monday's weight. The shower was supposed to be two hours...I thought I could hang, I would be fine there and not have to eat anything. It dragged on for four hours! I ate a dinner roll with ham and cheese on it, a hand full of chex mix, and (now the bad stuff) a small piece of cake and some potato chips with onion dip. That's the bad. Now, the good. I am no longer accustomed to eating junk, so that crap made me feel really...icky (for lack of a better word). I didn't eat dinner after that, I didn't eat my usual popcorn evening snack. The party junk was all I ate in the afternoon, and I had only consumed about 700 calories all day before the party. I expected more of a spike today, actually, knowing it would be temporary. If this is my spike, meh...not so bad.

The interesting thing was my blood sugar. Most days the only time I am not in the normal range is when I first wake up, but on two occasions since I started testing it, I have consumed sweets. On both of those occasions, two hours after eating my blood sugar has still been higher than 140 (in the prediabes range). My body just does not handle sugar well at all. It reconfirms to me that my healthy eating plan is the way I need to be living, the best course for my well being.

All that behind me, today is a new day....worked out, had my oatmeal, planning parmesan crusted tilapia for dinner. It's a healthy day today!

Thanks Info...although I would like to take credit and claim it was my willpower that allowed me to forego dinner, it was really because I just couldn't stand the thought of eating with all that junk making me feel ill. lol Shia, appreciate it...I do think I could have done a lot more damage than I did, so I think I came out of it pretty well. Was really expecting a higher weight today.

I know what you mean by your not feeling well after you eat something that you have been away from. I felt horrible last night. I am just now starting to feel good and it is 5:30pm. It is interesting noticing the changes in my body (digestion and overall well being). I never took the time to notice before.

Paddy...I always blame the "white stuff", sugar, white flour, etc. I can tell a difference in how I feel when I eat that stuff, and when I stick to healthier foods.
