Good morning! How is everyone today? Ready for working hard on goals?
Me either.
It’s been fairly chaotic around here, or at least it feels that way. With increased stress comes increased desire to eat and decreased ability to resist impulses. So, my additional goal for this week is to implement different coping mechanisms when I feel the impulse to overeat. I have some good success with that until late night, as usual, so that is where most of my energy will be focused.
Rehab and my diet in general are going well. Interestingly, I need to add more fat back into my food plan and that’s hard to do now that I’m accustomed to the plan. Turns out I’m getting around half the fat that the program recommends (which is just fascinating!) and that could be part of some digestive issues. Fats can help you feel full longer so that doesn’t sound like such a bad thing.
I’m making progress in rehab and am being active at least two other days most weeks. I want to be more consistent in activity on non-rehab days.
Oh, and of course there’s still the mindful eating issue. I think it’s important but apparently it’s not something I’m willing to focus on right now. I’m still trying to pay more attention to sensations when I’m eating certain things but not doing the mindful eating thing overall. That’s okay for now. One step at a time.
And an update on my diabetes goals, my fasting sugars are in the 90s and I’m taking 6u of levemir at night. I think I’ll be through with the insulin by the end of May at the latest. I’m taking so little probably I could stop right now but I’d rather keep stepping it down.
