Yeah Baby! My Sugar is Normal Yesterday and Today!

My hard work has ALREADY paid off! I have been so good, and it has been a tiny struggle but not huge, I think that's because I'm doing it for me. I've taken my sugar med (pills) like I'm supposed to but have been trying to do it without the insulin they want me to take. In just FOUR days of being good, even with 40mg of Prednisone every day, my sugar was 121 yesterday morning and 138 this morning (I had pasta last night for dinner so attributing the slight increase to that) Which is in the NORMAL range. I am so proud of myself I can hardly stand it. I don't think my sugar has been normal in 5 years.

I haven't starved myself or denied myself food throughout the day. I'm trying to eat more times a day but healthier things. Making good choices. I still have cravings but I am talking myself through them and choosing something else. As I find new recipes and new ideas for healthy eating it will be even easier. 

One thing I think you have to do to make things easier, is when you come home from the grocery store, right away cut up your veggies and make a big salad that you can dip into. I find when I think I'm hungry I want something RIGHT NOW and if I have to peel a cucumber and cut it up I may be more apt to grab something less healthy. I also used my Thatsa' Mega Bowl from Tupperware (small plug from my business) to make a giant salad which I've eaten off from for the last three days and still have some left. 

I'm also going to really research freezing fruits and veggies as it is SO expensive to eat healthy. I wanted to buy a 3lb bag of Granny Smith apples for a recipe and it was $5.99!! Now if I could buy a few bags when they are on sale and do something with them to where they would last then I'd be happy. For now I'll go without until I find them on sale. 

I shall leave you with my new motto...
