Morning Check In: Honestly, posting my blood sugar from the day before is SOOOOOOO powerful for me! The sugar/flour addiction is a solo, private affair for most of us, and is for sure for me. Putting this “out there” is calling me out on my sh*t! And because my sh*t will be “called out,” it is stopping me from straying off the path that makes me feel terrific. Yesterday I was dwelling on that concept: I feel GREAT when I don’t eat crap, and yet I want to eat crap. The addictive nature of that food is so powerful that It could overcome feeling great. Wow. Anyway, yesterday went well! And today will too, even though I am driving to Los Angeles today (7 hour drive) to attend my son’t post-op appointment, and then to bring said son back home with me for a visit. A long drive in the past would have been super dangerous - being alone and bored I would want to eat crap. But no, not this time, because tomorrow I will be posting those blood sugars for all to see! I intend to eat one meal today at Chipotle - I have mastered the art of ordering a metabolically friendly meal at that place. Otherwise, lunch will be the 2 or 3 Americanos at Starbucks into which I will put about a tablespoon of cream. Since the body can run just as well on fat as on glucose, it’s getting fat today. 🙂 I also plan to stop at all rest stops to walk a little bit.
