Today
This week was my 53rd birthday. I had my quarterly blood test results. Everything is good except my Hemoglobin A1C, which was 9.5. It's a struggle to get out of denial that this is something to be concerned about.
My therapist and I discussed it at length. My decision, my birthday gift to myself, is to, day by day, make a healthy choice, and blog about it. Keller cautioned me against making grandiose plans, and this seems simple enough, manageable.
So... yesterday I had a bowl of tomato soup and half a deli sandwich from Spring Creek, drank almost enough water, had a caesar salad for dinner, and forwent stopping off for fast food on my way home from Ms Kay's. And I took my meds.
More later.
