Good and Bad
Jul 29 2008 08:28

Sunday--Not Good.  Nearly 2300 calories.  It wouldn't have been so bad but I ate a piece of Dutch Apple pie that DH brought home...  Sabotage!  It was 430 calories for one slice and 48 carbs and you know I had to have a little milk with it too.  Then I had dinner.  Regular spaghetti with meat and Ragu sauce.  That wouldn't have been so bad except it was regular instead of whole grain spaghetti.  I did try to salvage some of my self respect and walked over to my parents intending to walk a full mile but got to talking and never left.  It got dark and Dad wouldn't let me walk home.  He had to drive me!  Sabotage again.

Sunday morning glucose reading was good...   110

Monday morning glucose reading was bad....    167 (from pasta and pie?!?)

Monday calories not too awfully bad considering Sunday's calories.  I had about 1900 calories but it was primarily from good foods.  I cooked out and had lots of good veggies and grilled meat.  I did overeat, but overall everything was good food.  I could have done without the Dr. Pepper but I wanted a soda and it was all we had.  I only drank 1/2 of a can (6 oz) instead of the whole can.  I ate marshmallows (only 3) when I could've left those out.  I didn't eat the barbecue sauce (yay for me!) and when all was said and done, I looked at my pedometer and I'd accomplished 10,154 total steps for the day (another big yay for me!!!! First time in nearly a year since I've been keeping track!)  I may have had other 10,000 step days but I was keeping track on those days if I had.  I know I had 9000 one day and a few 7-8000 but yesterday was overall good. 

On to today!!!!  I've a plan... I'll explain later.
