Whoops! Turn the bus around! We are headed in the wrong direction! My weight is up and so is my blood sugar. I think my weight is up because of the way I have been entering my exercise into the diary over the past few weeks. I was doing great until I added 1 hour of standing and slow walking to my daily exercise list. I just figured that through the course of the day that I stood and slow walked at least an hour. Previously I had not entered those items and just had the time recorded as resting. I think the extra calories I thought I could eat to maintain a 500 calorie deficit were not really there. I have probably been eating at maintenance or a little over each day for the past couple of weeks. I have removed the walking and standing from diary, which takes away about 300 per day that I should eat.
I am going to go along with this plan for another week despite my higher than normal blood sugar readings and see what happens. I expect to see a morning blood sugar level at 100 or below, which I was able to maintain with the ultra-low carb keto diet. Maybe my body needs some time to adjust to the extra carbs since it hasn’t really had to use any insulin when I ate keto during the past 7 months. Insulin resistance sucks. I wish I would have known 5 years ago when I might have had a better chance of correcting the problem. I think it will just take time, some trial/error and some serious determination to ward off diabetes with exercise and diet. I am determined more than ever to figure this out and win!
Workouts are still going great! I feel like I have gained some muscle mass with the additional calories I wasn’t supposed to be eating. Always gotta look at the bright side! :) I’m feeling pretty darn good these days, I just wish my numbers were better but I'm working on it.
Have a great weekend everyone.
