Motivation for moi

Quote from an unknown recovering person:  "IF YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU'LL KEEP GETTING WHAT YOU'RE GETTING."  I know that's true!

Good morning!  Thank you for the helpful comments to my Monday post.  I'm still hanging in, and continuing the learning process of how food affects my blood sugar, energy level, and definitely emotional balance!  It's a never ending story, for sure.

I don't have a lot more to report right now except that I had my lowest fasting blood sugar this morning since I've started paying attention and testing...102.  From a medical standpoint, below 100 is the goal, so it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling and a huge shot of motivation when I saw that this morning.  Of course this is a number that fluctuates constantly, so it won't ever be always "good" or "bad".  But the trend is definitely moving in the right direction.  I'm actually already excited for my June blood work to see how my HgbA1C has been affected (or if).

Also, I'm wearing a pair of pants today, just out of the dryer, that after 2 hours of wearing, are so baggy that I might run home and change, because they look ridiculous.  Like pajama pants.

That's it for me now - have a good Friday eve!

  1. I hope that you had a great weekend! I love that your pants are too big right out of the dryer - that is an awesome problem to have.

  3. Yay for baggy pants! A much better pants story than mine this morning - I put mine on backwards (my running tights). Ugh.

  10. Loose pants are one of the BEST feelings!

    BTW I *really* related to your squirrely-brain analogy in the prior post. I totally get that too!

  11. So happy to hear that everything is going great for you - and you're getting some nice results both physically (in the form of good blood numbers) and, well, physically (in the form of baggy pants) - but I also know how much of a mental boost loose pants can be. Congrats!!!
