A quick checkin with how things are going. I was on vacation for a week and these tend to be very challenging from an “eating well” standpoint. You are outside your safe food/snack zone and nearly everything involves eating out. I’m happy to report that I continued to make good choices while I was away. And it was not that painful 🙂

There were a few calculated decisions I made that were outside of what I have normally been eating, but every time was intentional and provided an opportunity to see what those choices meant in terms of blood sugar.

Overall, the plan is working. I am making the right choices on “what” to eat and the Ozempic is helping curb my appetite. I have stopped consuming alcohol for nearly two months. I have not yet decided if this will be a permanent thing or not, but will continue for now. I was drinking low-cal/sugar beverages anyway but may do some experiements in the next future to really understand the impact.

One area that has been lacking is exercising. This has dropped down from 3-4 times per week to almost nothing (hoping to get some tennis in this evening). Getting this back on track will surely keep the momentum going.
