begin again

Thanksgiving started out well. I had my numbers in the mid 100's all morning and got in a great interval workout. Lantus was 7 units, which is my new morning amount. I had thought about going off dairy and then remembered what day it was and gave myself a hall pass.


Breakfast was dairy free actually. I ate chicken breasts and bacon.
I also didn't eat until post-workout. I did fine! I am going to try that again today. After I do my second workout of set A in phase 1 I 'll eat a nice egg scramble with ham and onion.


I am SO sore!! I feel old. I hope the soreness goes away in a few weeks as my body adapts to squats and deadlifts. Until then I am constantly whining about my legs.

So, my blood sugars went haywire last night at around 11. Too much sweet potato not enough Humalog. I got up twice to correct and still woke up 210. Today will be a day of gastro recovery. It was a good lesson for me as well as a type 1- yes, sweet potatoes are paleo. They still will raise my blood sugars waaaay up. I will need to remember in the future small portions of them if I want to eat them.

My coffee this morning is black with a couple drops of liquid splenda. So no cream today. That's progress. Maybe in a few days I will switch over to my stevia powder I bought at Trader Joe's

Why is it I love that powder in the store when I help myself to a little mini cup of coffee and then at home it stinks?

Happy Blue Friday everyone. - yes blue. it's for diabetes awareness month ;)
