Day 2 (21 Day Challenge)

Day 2 and going strong!

I woke up at 5:30am this morning. I allowed myself 30 minutes extra of sleep because I went to bed 30 minutes later than I should have last night. I still got everything done by the time Jayden got up!

Before I get too much into today...I need to tell you about yesterday! I made it through the day without giving in to temptation! I was sooo hungry! But I did not deviate from the meal plan. I realized that Liz (my nutritionist) only has me eating 1300 calories a day. WHAT!? She is crraaaazy! So, I let her know this morning that I was hungry throughout the day and she will adjust it for me. The meals were all so good...especially my dinner! I had chili for dinner and it was, quite possibly, one of the best chilis I have ever had.

During the day I was very tempted to snack on all my old treats. So, I called my best friend Leigh! She came over and distracted me for the rest of the day. Then I had my weekly Mary Kay meeting to keep me away from the pantry! :)

Leigh is my main support at this point. Travis is awesome, but he isn't the best accountability partner! :) He still has to have his half of the pantry with the white bread, Pop Tarts and such. Having all that around is hard, but he isn't the one who has to live with Diabetes. The girls will eat whatever I fix for them, so that helps. Soon, Daddy will be the only one eating the bad food! :) Anyway...Leigh went with me to my consultation with Liz so that she could hear everything I was told and so she can hold me accountable. She is awesome!

Yesterday morning I took my insulin as usual and by the time I needed my first snack I was crashing hard! After my snack I was fine. I went through the rest of the day and before dinner I tested my blood sugar. It was perfect! So...I didn't take my insulin. I ate dinner and two hours later (when you are supposed to check the peak of your sugars) I was at 152 (a PERFECT number for me)!!! In ONE DAY I have proven that I can control my Diabetes with my diet! **Don't worry...I'm checking my blood sugars regularly to make sure I am stable and will continue my insulin use if needed.

This morning I did not take my insulin because my blood sugar was at a GREAT level!

DAY 1 = SUCCESS, HOPE and EXCITEMENT!!

This morning was great! I woke up at 5:30, did my work out (was easier today, but my legs hate me), did the Liver cleanse and ate breakfast. I even had some quiet time to sit down and read my Bible before the chaos of the day. Then I got ready for the day...all before Jayden woke up (Kenley is still asleep)!

I did the Liver cleanse as a shot this morning and it was SOOOOO much better! I still wanted to throw up right after I took it, but it subsided after about 10 minutes. I was able to eat breakfast and I had my wheat protein isolate drink. I am hoping it helps me stay full during the day so I am not tempted to snack!

I feel so good today! I am so excited about the idea that I just might be able to pull this off! :)
