I went to the track at lunchtime and hit a three laps, and it was challenging. I'm glad I did it, but my legs took a while to recover. Gotta figure out what to do for tomorrow since the forecast says rain.

Make It Real
So the problem I have is I THINK about doing better, but don't ever DO better. The doctor's assistant told me the other day that my blood sugar was 367 the day of my appointment. That's high! And truth be told, I in the back of my knew its been bad. I just ignore it so I don't know. So death talk got me thinking, and I've been taking my blood sugar numbers for 3 days trying to figure out what each thing I eat does to my blood sugar. And that in turn makes me see what crappy eating does to my body and what good eating does. And that makes it real to me. I had pasta and lots of it last night and as a result, my blood sugar was up until 2 o'clock this afternoon, despite me eating next to nothing all day.

I Don't Want To Die
My doctor had her assistant call me. She said my diet is killing me. Somber words to hear. My a1C was crazy, triglycerides are dangerous high, and cholesterol needs work. I hate whiners, and I worry that what I'm about to say is whining. Coronavirus has kicked my ass. Trying to be everything I am needed to be, get everything done and still be me, and take care of me has been weighing on me a lot. So stress eating was my thing for awhile. Top that off with I was in a situation with insurance, leaving me without the best blood sugar meds I've ever had, and yeah, my numbers sucked.
I've worked a little harder for the last 3 days, and I'm seeing some progress. The steglujan immediately brought my glucose levels below 220, from 360. I've now had a few in the 100s. It was 160 an hour ago. So I'm continuing checking my sugar. I'm trying to find foods that don't jack it up. Good thing is eggs and sausage don't! Those are kind of staples for me.
Now comes the part that is hardest. I have to figure out a way to get both diet and exercise going at the same time, with my gym closed... Sux, but doable. I just gotta figure it out.
