Today was verrrrry different than yesterday. By nightfall I could smell everything within a 20 mile radius. I wanted to eat cardboard if it was in my path. I went to bed moody and frustrated. I felt like opening my fridge and devouring all the hot links I could get my hands on. I saw my children enjoying chips for a snack and felt like my head was going to explode. A very small (I mean minuscule) chip landed next to me on the couch, and I ferociously consumed it with everything I had. Then I realized that I looked and felt like an animal. I continued sipping my coconut water with pineapple flavoring as if I was eating 4 carne asada tacos from the local Mexican Restaurant :) The truth of the matter is I made it! Day 1 was a success!
Day 2 I awakened to UPS delivering a package to me. When I jumped off the couch, I realized that my feet were totally numb! I was running with somebody else's feet! My hands weren't very different. Were these the toxins leaving my body as I read about? Or was it my pre diabetes telling me that no matter what you do, you'll always desire junk. Well.....the day passed uneventfully. I had a lot more mental clarity, energy, and my back wasn't as sore. I went to my follow up dr. appt to discuss my previous lab results. Here goes ya'll:
Cholesterol-241
Vitamin D levels- dangerously low
A1C- 6.9 (full diabetes 7.0)
Hormone levels- I'm in the early stages of menopause
Blood Pressure-elevated
The rest she said was pretty good, Kidneys are fine etc. This is wonderful news since I have hAmlodipine 10 mg once daily and 80 mg of Furosemide for my BP. My reading today was 150/80. I'm representative of all of the terrible things that accompany obesity. So you see, my fasting journey is difficult but I need to live for my children. I plan on doing what's best for my body. Now it's time for shower and bed! Nite all!
