It's a Series of ReStarts

So I have been very complacent this week.  My sugars have reflected this the last two days, so has my weight.  3lbs this week.  Yuck!  Well, I will just have to restart.  Isn't this the way it always is?  With diets, To Do lists, exercise and all worthy goals there are set backs and restarts.  The successful just restart.  I think that what I previously thought was will power, is actually restart power.  It is the ability to not beat yourself over the head, but instead to recommit yourself to the goal.  So here I go again.  :)

I started out great on Thursday with a shake.

Then for lunch I had a turkey avocado sandwich.

swim lessons kill me.  Sitting outside in 106 degree weather for an hour and 10 minutes, weakens my resolve.  An ice cream float was necessary.

Dinner. A corn Dog, potato salad and watermelon.  This is not a diabetic meal, but it is what had to happen.  I am too tired to cook.  Hopefully now that swim lessons are over, I'll be better this week.

The next morning I started with a shake again.

for lunch I had a baked potato with cheese, ham, butter and gravy. I know, I know.  Not the best choice.

Swim lessons got me again.  It is sooooooo hot!!!

For dinner, there was no way I was cooking.  Frozen pizza and watermelon.  I had 4 slices of watermelon and 2 slices of pizza.

late night snacking killed me.  chips and dip, a snickers bar, a diet soda and a piece of my son's bar cookie.  Then I was sick all night.  Lesson relearned.
