Today I don't have a lot to report. . . I haven't had a diet Mt. Dew (or any other diet drinks, for that matter) for seven full days - today is starting the eighth. I still don't like water. . . I ate very little yesterday - some tuna salad and some chicken salad. That's it. I know that isn't good. But, honestly I wasn't that hungry. I do take supplements (Juice+) that give me a daily amount of fruits and vegtables plus I take a vitamin B, D, and C among other things including zinc, elderberry, tumeric, and magnesium. And while this isn't an exahustive list, you can see why I might not be hungry. J/K :).
I know I shouldn't do this, but I did hop on the scales again this morning. I would have thought it would have been lower with the small amount of food from yesterday, but I could be wrong, but I think when you don't eat much your body tries to store fat or something like that. I could be all wet about that. In any case, my weight was down a little. I am hoping to be below 300 next Weigh In Wednesday.
I do think my joints feel some better, especially the last two days. My lower back is the bigger issue right now. I am working to get this relieved.
They say stress can really affect your sugar. Today, possibly, I can see how that might be true. I woke up at 4:30 to use the restroom and decided to check my sugar level. I was pleased at the number. However, the morning took a rocky turn as my daughter and I had an episode before school which raised by blood pressure, to say the least. Everything had calmed down by bus time, but it can be stressful. When I checked my sugar again, it was 30 points higher than the 4:30 am reading. There could be other reasons for it to have gone up. But, you never know. In the end the second number was somewhat lower than yesterday - which is still positive.
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. - Psalm 94:19
