Had blood drawn when at the doctor last week. Got my test results.
My 3 months of blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic area. With my great-grandmother & grandmother having it….no surprise….sadly.
Which is why I go to the gym but haven’t been very good on avoiding and monitoring my sweet intake the last few months, especially at work. Doesn’t help I have my father’s sweet tooth….eye roll
Good news is that my goal of wanting to lose 30 more pounds will address both my blood sugar and my blood pressure. And I’ve already been working on that.
There is no way I can give up my pasta, sweets, breads….just need to cut it all back. Get my pasta in whole grain, cut back on my baked potatoes…need to pick up long grain rice as a sub.
I told them right off the bat that I’m not giving any of that up, especially my chocolate. I will cut back and monitor it….because what is the point of living if you can’t enjoy the pleasurable things in life?
Oh yeah, the sucky part is we both need to cut back on all sorts meat… not just red meat.
Totally not use to having a meal without it.
So what it comes down to is that I really need to work on it my food monitoring.
I was 40 pounds lighter 6yrs ago and that was after doing the same thing….counting calories, cutting my sugar intake down and going to the gym. I can do it again, just a lot harder when you get past 40.
