Today's Triumph: Monday stuff

Monday stuff

Today was pretty uneventful.

Recap:

Spin in the morning. Man am I not a fan of "hovering", but I do love jumps! I look around the room and enjoy the fact that everyone is at a different fitness level and we can all enjoy the class together. One lady behind my friend was crazy ripped. I wonder how she got to that point? Lots of weights I suppose. No thanks : )

Work. Lots of projects to do before the year is over. Its looking to be like a busy next couple of months. I am due for a 6 month pre-review. I can't believe I have been at my new job almost 6 months already. Where does the time go?

Dinner. Not even worth mentioning. I was looking forward to the Tomato Basil Soup, but it was just ok. It had carrots in it - weird? The leftover ciabatta bread from Saturday's delicious dinner was a little dry/spongy. Bummer.

Rest of the evening? I ran to Target to get my week's supply of Chobani (man do I love that stuff). My bag is packed for the gym tomorrow. I suppose the rest of the night will involve a little blog reading and tv watching. Tomorrow I am getting my cholesterol checked. The appointment is at 10am, and I am not suppose to eat 12 hours before it. This should be interesting. My plan is to make a protein smoothie before I go to bed in hopes of curving my hunger and maintaining even blood sugars through the night as well as through Body Works in the morning. I hope it works!

Love spin class... you are right that it's fun to know everyone is at a different place, but enjoying the same workout.

Hope the testing goes well tomorrow. At least the test isn't at like 7 at night. That would be horrible. Drinking a protein shake sounds like a smart idea before bed!

Oh how I miss going to spin class. Maybe next week I can fit it in.

Yeah, I took a sick day...still didn't have much for a voice and was coughing/barking like crazy!

I hope your test this morning goes well!

I saw that totally buff ripped lady! Wowza!

You forgot to mention your pal calling you at work and ranting for 10 minute. That had to add some excitement to your day....no? Ha ha.

Six months! Unbelievable!

Diabetes Data

For your information:

BG = blood glucose. Currently I am required to track my BG levels (prick my finger) prior to each meal and before bed. My goal is to be between 70 & 140. The day I went into the Dr. to find-out while I felt so crappy, my BG was 495 (instant Diabetes diagnosis). When I go below 70, I start to feel shaky, weak and sweaty. When I am above 200 I feel tired. I am working to find the right balance of food and insulin to prevent that from happening.

Insulin = I take fast-acting insulin to cover the carbs I eat. I keep going back and forth between taking background insulin or not taking it. My body is "honeymooning", or still producing limited insulin on its own, so with exercise I found I don't need the background insulin yet.

A1C = This blood test tells you approximately what your BG levels have been for the past 3 months. My first test showed an A1C of 12.4, which meant that prior to that point my average BG was 330. I hope my next test comes back much lower!
