Wednesday

Or Tuesday? Does it really matter 🙂

Pretty good day. Did well with food. Not going to walk tonight, but may do some trampoline watching TV. Started a new challenge to eat something green or veggie twice a day. Should be easy as I do that anyway.

Dessert

Found a great recipe the other day. So simple and tasty – just like a real dessert!

Mix nuts, fruit (raspberries, pomegranate, blueberries etc.) into non-fat Greek yogurt. Spread in a pan and freeze it. It makes frozen yogurt bark. Just in time for summer and very nice nutritionally.

A Good Week

This was a pretty good week overall. I’ve been working from home for 2 weeks – longest ever in my career. I’m getting used to the rhythm, and who knows, may do it more in the future. Habits and routine are critical, though. It’s easy to skip things that you have been doing in a normal going-to-work day. I’ve added a habit tracker to help keep me on track and build these new habits.

I’ve eaten a bit more non-salad food this week, but have been watching the portion size. Blood sugar has been pretty good – even with some late nights and a bit of booze. Awareness and knowledge are really important.

some grilling, salad and spilled beer

Shoulda

I had hamburgers for dinner tonight. Weirdly, home made these days is a bit rarer than usual. Thanks COVID-19 weird shortages.

It was burgers, cheese and lettuce buns. I was hungry and had two. Could have, no should have had just one. Part of the challenge was eating a bit too fast and messed up “full.” One to remember and think about going forward.

Progress Report

Lost a few more pounds, moved more and had a pretty good week with blood glucose levels. I forgot one night, which I would expect to happen periodically, but some of it is likely quarantine related. Keeping habits is a challenge. Reminders and sticking to them are going to be important.

I also completed my first full week in Omada. It also adds accountability to this process along with education and peer support. I looking forward to the lesson this week (nutrition) and more conversation. Only 4 of the 11 peers have posted, but 2 doing very little. Interesting to see how much that changes over the coming weeks. This is a year long program.
