To
say I had a rough time this week would be like saying the Captain of
the Titanic had a rough time. It wasn't good. I was so tired. So very
tired. I felt hopeless and discouraged. I was kinda sorta holding it
together until I couldn't find my phone charger.....and collapsed on the
bed in the middle of the afternoon in a pathetic state of tears and
whining.
Hubs must have known something was wrong before I did, because earlier that day he surprised me with these....
Aww.....
I
decided to spend a
whole day getting rid of a ton of STUFF around my house. I brought two
car loads of STUFF to Goodwill. I cleaned and organized my kitchen
cabinets and drawers. I did the same for the drawers, shelves, and
cabinets in my living room. Getting rid of all the extra THINGS
immediately made me feel better.
I
don't really know where this exhausted feeling is coming from. At one
point I was diagnosed with anemia. And I haven't taken iron supplements
in years. I got a mulit-vitamin that has iron and hopefully that will
help. I was also worried that my blood sugar might be high. I got a
blood glucose monitor from a friend who has diabetes (yes, new needle!)
and tested my blood. Fasting is 112. And 3 hours after eating was
75. I have gotten so much mixed information about what those numbers
mean. But I think it means I am
pre-diabetic. Bleck....don't really want to think about that.
The only thing to do about it is what I am doing already. Eat right and exercise.

I
don't really want to think about my weight either. I did gain 1.2 lb
this week. And that is crappy. But I know why. And I'm not beating
myself up. I need to remember that I like eating healthy and
exercising. And I really really do. Exercising is one of my favorite
things to do. I never thought I would say that. I made some delicious
stuff this weekend. I will put the recipes in a future post.
The great news is: even if you are pre-diabetic, like you said, you're doing something about it NOW and not in a few years where you'd be fully-blown. Maybe you just had an off day, we all have those.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am a firm believer in de-cluttering. Instantly makes me feel better as well. <3
