Arm is sore, well painful. Iced and took IB X 3 It’s going to be tough not to do my normal workout tomorrow morning.
IBS acted up today 😩 it was a rough couple of hours.
– over on calories and carbs 👎 BUT I tracked! I’m proud of myself for doing that!
Picked up some collagen peptides. Look it up!
No cigarettes 👏(July 15, 2018) or patches! Chewing the gum, doing great! Will start to be mindful of when I choose to chew the gum. Skin looking better already! 🍑
Overall, a good day.
Next time these numbers will be better!
Note to self: more red meat, spinach, chickpeas, Quinoa , pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate

I’m pretty sure I have bicep tendonitis.
This doesn’t surprise me as when I start a new workout regimen or exercise, I get some kind of tenderness and inflammation.
This is going to suck!! But I have to rest and ice it. Will TRY to work more on cardio and lower until I feel better.
Feeling good. BS was 119. I’ll take that for now.
Early morning workout done! Going for the muffin this morning which means I have to be very careful through out the day! No more junk. I’m a complete junk food ADDICT 😩 chocolate. cakes. Fast food.
Stats aren’t great but aren’t bad either.
I missed my workout this morning and I believe it had a small, neg impact on my day.
With that being said I look forward to my workout tomorrow morning. (Ok not as much as I should be lol, my friend isn’t being kind).
1st day not wearing a patch since I quit smoking over a week ago. It was fine!
Working on quitting the nicotine gum now.
Bed early tonight! 🌙
No workout this morning. Booo. I snoozed my alarm which doesn’t happen often. Was it worth it? Snoozing and missing my early morning exercise. Not sure yet. 50/50. So if a definitive answer is needed. Yes.
BS 132. It’s ok considering last nights carb filled meal.
Friend in town which gives some explanation to some symptoms I’ve been experiencing.
I have a physical this morning. Yuck. Who likes going to the doctors. I usually will r/s once or twice (shhh). So, today I have to go. I have two more in the short coming weeks.
Here’s to a great day! Smile 😀. Always smile
Dinner was a bust but I know I can’t change every meal over night.
The good news is I didn’t have that muffin this morning!
-extra steps after dinner done. I read today that 10 mins of walking after every meal is better than a daily 30 min walk to lower fasting blood sugars. It will be interesting when I check tomorrow morning as I had over 100 g of carbs for dinner alone. Ya ya I know. Don’t judge.
Did 15 mins of walking, post dinner (in house) gained a couple thousand more steps!
My blood sugars have been higher than usual- I took off the nictotine patch as nicotine raises my blood sugars.
My BS was 165 post lunch. I know they have been higher past few weeks but I’m working on lowering my sugar levels! I use my net diary to count calories and macro nutrients. I get a ball park figure on my carbs. It’s a great app!
Anyway back to the nicotine… I used the patch for a week and with my determination, I don’t see the need to keep continuing. I have quit cold turkey in the past and the first week was always the worst. I’ve gone back to smoking because I wanted to… I missed it. IT was my best friend. No more! I’M my new best friend!
Looking forward to lower boood sugars and better health! One meal, day, and habit at a time. I can do it!
Dating myself
There just something about taking care of yourself.
I’m single and have been for quite a few years. I’ve dated here and there but nothing worth writing about. It’s usually when I’m on the dating scene, I shave (gulp), make better eating choices and overall take better care of myself. But the last couple of months I’ve started a new skin care regimen, bought new clothes and yes started taking care of myself physically and boy it FEELS GOOD!
When I get into my depressions I have to look back on this entry to remind myself to take steps, baby steps to get back to believing I’m worth it!
Fasting BS: 135. Just a few shower weeks ago it would be around 110. My body starting to shut down. Last night 1.5 post it was 256! I admit I haven’t been testing so these numbers are shocking me. Feet (toes )hurting more.
“I can do it!” I will take care of myself! I WILL improve my health!
Day 9- no cigarettes! Smoking DOES raise blood sugars.
I will NOT have a muffin (again) for breakfast this morning I can do it! 💪 I AM strong!
