Yes, Water Has A Flavor
Being healthy fucking sucks.
I've been drinking 3 liters of water a day since Monday (not intentionally Monday). I've been trying different ways to bring my blood sugar down since the medicines I'm on are again not working like they were. Medicines for diabetes, any meds for that matter will eventually wear off. Your body adjusts to them and it's only a matter of time. But, I've been watching my calories, monitoring my blood sugar too. It sucks but it's a living, right?
Having an iPhone is amazing. I downloaded the Lose it! app and started keeping total track of all of my calories. My goal is 2,000 calories a day. So far, i've been under it, except for today. I'm 88 calories over today. But, I was right about 1,995 calories before my damn midnight snack. I shouldn't be having midnight snacks but snacks happen, right? LOL!
I also downloaded the Glucose Buddy app and been checking my sugar before and after meals since Monday as well. That one sucks the most because my fingers are already callused over, and pricking my finger over and over again is starting to become harder and harder to draw blood. But the cool thing is, since I've been drinking all of this water, and watching my calories by keeping the total under 2,000 I keep my sugar at 90-110 at all times! For a diabetic that is the ultimate range you want to be in. So I'm doing pretty good and I'm happy about that!
Now if I can only lose this 147 pounds I need to shed to be down to 170. That is my ultimate goal weight. "My ideal weight" as the medical community sees it, but it is where I'd like to be eventually. I can only keep on moving along. Progress reports to come. :0)
