It has been a week and I have had no progress. Of course, I don’t think that I have really been trying.
That’s wrong. I have to be honest. I didn’t try. I let everything around me overwhelm me to the point of exhaustion. I allowed things to take over my life and my decisions. The results of that was a 0.4 lb. weight gain (insignificant) and my blood sugar bouncing around in the 500 range. This morning my blood glucose was 344.
I also started my new ADHD med today. I’m hoping that this is going to help me with my focus. It’s a non-stimulant medication that’s supposed to help with focus.
Yesterday, after our meeting at work, my co-workers and I were sitting around talking about ADHD. Some of my co-workers have it. I shared with them that my favorite time of focus and concentration was while I was drinking my morning coffee. I wish that I could drink coffee all day, but my heart can’t tolerate the additional caffeine. So I plan out my coffee drinking with my writing time. Sometimes that is early on a Saturday morning. Sometimes that is in the evenings when I come home from work. One cup of coffee. And yes, I can go to sleep after drinking coffee.
If only my diabetes and weight issues were as easily solved!
I forgot immediately what my goal was last week. I need to write it down this week so that I can remember it. Maybe post it everywhere so that I can see it often.
Goal: Get up and Move!
