Update...Daily Diary

So Tuesday didn't go quite as well as Monday. Started off well with testing and breakfast, but I get so busy at work and there is so much work to do that I don't have time to actually heat something up and eat it. I have to MAKE myself stop and eat lunch, I just have to do it. Then I wasn't really hungry for dinner, but I made myself eat. Did another 50 push-ups (25 on the wall, then the next 25 on the chest freezer...trying to work my way back to full fledged ones on the floor.)

Today was worse. I skipped breakfast because I was running later than I wanted to be, which meant no cardio this morning. Then I got to work and someone brought cookies and Halloween candy. It was easy to say no to the Halloween candy since it was mostly chocolate. But, I did have one of the macadamia nut cookies. I did eat a Lean Cuisine (broccoli and beef w/mushrooms). Then pizza night at home (I had one slice and the toppings off two more, 3 wings and a breadstick). So, instead of making excuses and giving me a reason to keep doing badly, I am making time for cardio tonight. I'll need it to help my numbers after that breadstick/pizza!

Be back!

Back on Track...kind of

So, I didn't let yesterday's cheat weigh me down as I would have in the past. I feel great about that. Having said that, today I just didn't eat enough food. My numbers were a little elevated all day until just before dinner. Today's menu:

B-1 egg, coffee w/splenda and cream
L-100g gyro meat, 1/4 cup Hummus, side greek salad, sauteed mushrooms
D-Homemade spaghetti sauce w/ground beef and sausage, 1 cup zucchini, 100g strawberries with whipped cream

Totals: 922 calories, 52g carbs, 61g fat, 48g protein

Yesterday...I goofed

Well, I had an awesome day since I started a new basal dosing scheme and my numbers were wonderful until I decided to change that by eating something I shouldn't have after I had already dosed, etc. etc. etc. so I ended up going to bed 40 points higher. My first real cheat of the year. I'm disappointed in myself, but no way am I sitting here and stressing on it. I woke this morning newly motivated. I am going to screw up along the way...that is a given. What I am not going to do is use that to make excuses to go back to making wrong choices on a regular basis.

Tuesday Menu:

B - 1 egg, 1 slice WW toast, 1/2 tsp spreadable fruit, coffee with cream and splenda
L - Beef Jerky, 100g cucumber, 8 black olives, 6 asparagus spears, 1/4 cup pineapple chunks
D - 6 oz steak, 1 small cucumber, .4 cup beets, 1/4 small cantaloupe
