November 4th My journey begins

Well,  my day started off with my little girl still not feeling well and be not a 100% because of my sinus infection.    Got my son out the door for school.   I went back to sleep for a little but kind of hard when your daughter's medicine  kicked in and she is  using your laptop and playing music on You Tube.  I kept hearing hear Chris Commisso, Bruno Mars and the Lazy song ( with P90X words in my head ) and whatever else . So I got up and I tested my morning fasting and it was at 150. So I have to make sure that I watch what I eat today.   It could be off a little bit because I am not feeling well.   So I took all my medicine and  made me a Chocolate , Peanut Butter, and Banana  Shakeology with Almond Milk.  It is the best part of my morning a Healthy Shake with over 70 ingredients and it is good for you and tastes great.    At lunch I had a Tuna Melt on Rye Bread with Swiss and I used my George Forman  grill .  It was Yummy.   On my second 32 ounce glass of water .  For my glucose level after lunch is was 125 . On my 3rd glass of water.   My dinner tonight will be a lean cuisine Sesame Chicken ,  Also I will have some green beans, and other mixed vegetables  with other glass of water.  I had four 32 oz cups of water today my last blood glucose count was at 9pm and is was at 78.   I am so happy.   


I will be doing Power 90 tonight which will be Sweat Cardio  and Ab Ripper 100  by Tony Horton.  

Learning About Diabetes:

In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. When you eat food, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose, which is the basic fuel for the cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can lead to diabetes complications. Diabetes increases your risk for many serious health problems. The good news? With the correct treatment and recommended lifestyle changes, many people with diabetes are able to prevent or delay the onset of complications.  ( Information from the American Diabetes Associations).
