I'm never sure what to type/say here. I've never been good at keeping a diary/journal. I even started one for both of my nieces, where I just write the things I feel/think at that time, how proud I am of them, the choices they have made, how strong they are. That type of thing. However, I think I have only done 1 entry in both journals. The idea is when I'm gone, the journals will be given to them. I'm not good about writing just in general my thoughts and feelings. When I get upset, or things start weighing on me, then yeah, I write pages, only to turn around and destroy those pages a few days later. It's therapy for me.
I'm not a patient person, and I'm not good at denying myself things that I want. Therefore the "diets" that I choose are basically all things in moderation. I get discouraged easily, thinking things should be happening faster than they are, basically, I'm not seeing results fast enough. I stay the course for a few months, then I get bored with it, I grow tired of watching every little thing I put in my mouth, of telling myself I can't have what I really want, pretending the premiere protein cookies n cream shakes will suffice and cure my cravings for something sweet. After a while, all the artificially sweetened things coat the back of my tongue with a thick layer of sweetness that turns my stomach and makes me want a sprite to kill that artificial taste. I grow tired of eating veggies, because in truth, there's only a few that I really like, and eating them all the time, make me not want them, or makes me grow bored with food, because it's the "same ol' same ol'"
I grow tired of drinking water, and I don't like the taste of diet drinks. I don't like the bitter taste of ice tea without sugar, but although I am a southerner, I do not like my tea syrupy sweet either. Maybe half a cup of sugar to a gallon of tea. But if I make tea, then it's gone that night, and I have to make it every day, and I grow tired of doing that. I sound lazy, even to me. I just get bored with doing the same thing over and over and over again.
I know I didn't become diabetic and overweight over night, and I know I won't become non-diabetic and back to a healthy weight over night, but damn! It was a lot easier getting this way that it is to become healthy again. Trust me, I wish I was as fat now, as I thought I was at 18, when I barely weighed 115 pounds at 5'10.

This morning I checked my blood sugar, as I do most every morning. It was 114. Not sure if that's because I did really good yesterday, or because of the bidureon. I really dislike this new delivery system for the Bydurion, but I guess I will have to adjust. Most likely come the first of next year, I will have, yet again, a new delivery system for this medication, if I can't get off of it.
This morning for breakfast, I had a Premier Protein, cookies n cream flavor. I think for lunch I will have the strawberry n cream flavor. I have lightly salted almonds for a snack, as well as a Kind bar. I'm going to try to do this on a regular basis, and see if that won't help me to lose weight some. I just can't do diets. I hate depriving myself of what I want, because then when I have a "cheat" day, or fall off the wagon, I wind up taking a running leap off said wagon.
I didn't get much exercise in this week-end. On Saturday, I helped a friend paint doors, and Sunday was spent on Algebra. It's amazing how much time you lose when you sit down to start working on math problems, when 1 problem takes up an entire page. But I did succeed in getting all of section 3.1 done, now to start and complete section 3.2 before Thursday night.
I hope everyone has a good day, and remember, Daylight Savings starts this week-end, yuck!

So, I haven't been on here in quite some time. But I'm going to make an effort to be here hopefully daily. Obviously, looking at my weight the last time I logged in, and the weight I recorded today, I didn't just fall off the wagon, but took a running leap off the wagon. I'm not using a program that my insurance covers, called Lark. They supplied me with a weight scale that links automatically to my phone and the app, with a weekly reminder to weigh in. It also provides an AI to talk to me about various food choices and keeps track of my activity as long as I have my phone with me, then it provided me with a fitbit. I absolutely love my fitbit!
I'm not sure if it's really helping or not as it counts just walking from my desk to the printer and back at work as activity, but it's the little things that make you feel good. It also color codes my meals as green, healthy; orange, mixed; and red, unhealthy. It doesn't so much talk about portions and such, so you don't have to record "2 cups of fruit" so much as you record "apple, cantalope, pineapple."
