It's been one week(since you looked at me)

 Great song.

ANYWAY

wowee people are actually reading this 




Well folks, it's been a week since my diagnosis. I essentially dropped my blood sugar levels to HALF of what it was at the Drs. My body feels greaaattt but my mind is catching up a bit. No coffee (trying to stay hydrated) no carbs, no starch, little dairy, little fruit, little corn based products, no soda, no juice. But how do I feel? Like I can move my body better, breathing feels better. I do have to say you really value the taste of your food when you're eating less. It's almost like when you're eating shit, you keep eating because you're never satisfied. Let me be clear, I am eating plenty--just like, an appropriate amount for my situation. I am crushing it. ::I DO MY HAIR TOSS, CHECK MY NAILS::



It just has to continue

I know I have a great support system, of all varieties. I have my momma bear friend, who reminds my clumsy ass to tie my shoes (Here's looking at you Nicole) who has always been a great motivator and I love her for it. Plus, many many great people who will for sure be checking in, I appreciate any positive vibes that will keep me going. Recipes, encouragement, etc.



For the blog, I plan to continue. I am writing when I feel inspired by one of my many train of thoughts, so it may not be on the daily but I will try for a few times a week for now. 

I will also be posting cooking stuff a bunch, I feel like you're all my accountabilibuddies! haha!

With that, I say goodnight my lovelies. Quote of the day:



And that's the way the sugar free cookie crumbles, much love,

Sam

An Unexpected Fear

We can all agree that 2020 was a tough year. For me, it meant growth, confrontation of self. I spent the year reflecting on who I am, what I want, and who I have been, good and bad. I am proud to say that I am stronger than ever, I no longer feel weighed down by my past… Until this Tuesday that is. It’s strange how past trauma can come out of nowhere and just smack you in the face. Mine came out at the Drs office. I went in for an ongoing issue, and came out absolutely terrified.  Now don’t get me wrong, I go to one of the best hospitals in the world, the care is excellent. If you are a woman I am sure you can agree that once you find healthcare professionals you can trust, you hold on for dear life. And I am. I found out I have Diabetes… to clarify, I’ve had pre-diabetes since highschool, and I have been managing it and been doing fine for years. But between a lot of factors including the pandemic, this appears far past the time they would have liked to have started helping me. Th...

Can I give myself a nickname?

 I would like to be called beast.  I am so proud of myself my friends. Where to start?  1. I have lost 30 pounds. 2. I had my 3 month check up with my Dr. Today. My new A1C is 5.9-- that's down from 11.7!!! Here is a graph for reference: 3. She said that if I keep my A1C down till my next Diabetic check up (December) I can start weaning off the Metformin! That's a BIG DEAL friends. She said that I essentially moved myself from deep diabetes to pre diabetes again!  4. I'm seeing REAL progress! I am going to be vulnerable here because I am THAT proud of myself--by sharing a photo I took from the side in July compared to now. The only difference is the first photo is in my undies... But listen I live in a beach town and I see much more revealing outfits on the street than my underwear. I don't really see the big deal to be honest... The difference between underwear and bathing suits- it's just material! Anyway, here's the photo: Look at my legs! Been a busy few wee...
