Diabetes diary, Day 16, 17 & 18
So Sunday night, as I was preparing to post my journal for the day, there was an emergency involving my sweetie's neighbor and we had to rush into Albuquerque.
So I never posted.
Monday was bizarre because I only worked 3 hours then had the day off and felt pretty useless.
I also had the overwhelming desire to get a slice of pizza from Saggio's.
Yesterday, I very nearly went and had a Whataburger. I compromised and decided to go to Boston Market but found it closed. I nearly had a fit and made the trip to Whataburger out of petulance.
Instead I went to Smith's and bought groceries.
But I've clearly hit a wall. I went to Golden Pride and had 2 pieces of rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and coleslaw.
Mashed potatoes aren't great but fortunately the portions at Golden Pride are realistic and close to what I should be eating -- and theoretically within the 45 gram limit I'm operating under..
For dinner I went to Subway and had a 6 inch Tuna sandwich on whole wheat. I looked it up on the internet and found that it was exactly 45 grams of carbs.
Morning reading today was 124. Which is good.
The after dinner reading, after eating Golden Pride and Subway: 131.
So... no catastrophe.
But I really fucking hate this. I want a slice of pizza. I want a Whataburger. I know I can't. I hope it passes.
Monday's readings were 122 (morning) and 154 (after lunch).
Sunday's readings were 134 (morning) and 175 (after breakfast).
I ate the usual crap. I didn't eat anything real bad. Tho I sure wanted to.
This is getting tough.
So I never posted.
