2016 goals: healthy mind, body and soul #inspiration

[xtinamariec]

January 1st 2016

Happy new year everyone! A new year, a new outlook. A chance to turn the page and start a new. Now, don't get me wrong, I know that everyday is a new day and that we shouldn't wait a "new year" to change. And I've never really done the whole new years resolution thing. BUT this year, I've decided to make one and use my Tumblr account to document. This year, my resolution is to be healthy. To pay attention to my mind, body and soul and to heal myself from my own neglect and my own abuse. How's that for a resolution! Everyday, I'm going to begin with a walk and clear my mind. Learn to appreciate the things that surround me. Drink more water, is also a must. Clearing the body of toxins is another. But most importantly, my diabetes will be controlled. I'm tired of living everyday and just getting by. I'm always feeling crabby or bloated or nauseous from not eating the right things. So there you have it. Every night I want to reflect on my successes and my challenge and set up more goals. I hope you'll follow me on this journey.

May not mean a lot to everyone but after the day I had and having a target blood sugar at the end of the day feels too amazing not to share. #proudofmyself #diabetes #gettingthere

Dropping the ball

So, i've dropped the ball again! Neglecting my tumblr again. My apologies.

Updates: I've still not gotten control of my diabetes, i'm still all over the place. I had my appointment last week with my endo. I showed up knowing i was going to have my shit hit the fan. I'd taken alot of numbers for the week prior and had a week of records to show that I had not one good number. Not one good number under 7. For one whole week!

Without going into silly details, they raised my long acting insulin and sent me on my way. Turns out i've gained weight and i've mounted myself into the next weight category alas not giving myself enough insulin. HA! Wonderful!!

So i've not got 2 goals. One to lose weight, and one to control that blood sugar.

Wish me luck!
