STARTING OVERJun 16 2009 11:00
Well, this is a Good News - Bad News sort of post. The Good News? I went to the endocrinologist yesterday and got my lab results .... my diabetes is in the "well controlled" range (A1c 6.8) but my thyroid isn't functioning well ... so she's upped my thyroid meds which should help my metabolism. I was pretty jazzed to see that I'm keeping my blood sugar levels "in the zone" The bad news? My weight has really crept back up in the past 6 months and I really need to get back on the healthy eating bandwagon much more than I have been.
So I'm starting with breakfast. My hope/prayer is that if I can commit to eating well at breakfast, that will help me form some positive habits that will, with any luck, last into the afternoon.
Ugh. Starting over sucks.
