oh to kick my own ass...

So I had the day off of work, the joy of being a part-timer. More like the woes of being a part-timer. you see, Im one of those people who will continually graze all day if I am bored, left alone, or have to much time on my hands. This can lead to some surprisingly high blood sugars. I \'ve tried everything and I just dont know how to stop this behavior! So over the course of the day there has been plenty of grapes (i appreciate grapes, they make me poop!), 2 breadsticks, lasagna, popcorn, 100cal oreo bag, kool-aid, and a tomato basil tortilla with mayo. C'mon now! Get a grip Sarah! It doesnt seem so bad but when it messes with my blood sugar, its just plain reckless. I know that between eating the grapes and the lasagna I fell asleep on the couch. Talk about being a sloth! So I gave myself a time limit, 8pm I was getting myself out of my pjs and into my car and driving the whole 10 minutes to the gym to do at least 30 minutes of some sort of cardio to get my blood sugars down since all this munching and lack of bolusing has left me at 357! So 8pm comes, i get in my car, my gym cloths and shoes are already packed in my barbie pink gym bag and I drive to the gym blaring the new Evans Blue Cd (shameless plug for a great band right there, go check them out!). I always test before starting, so as I'm standing on the treadmill, my meter reads 325...odd. that dropped really fast. Im now blaring Nine Inch Nails (they dont need a shameless plug) as Im walking the hills program on the treadmill at the highest level of 20, leaving the incline between 9 and 15% and 4mph...Im really sweating now. 30 minutes into it, when I told myself its ok to stop, I test again. down from 325 to 198. Now thats an even bigger drop and I know its not my insulin since I disconnected at the start. Whatever, Im sweaty but not sweaty enough. I continue on this program for another 15 minutes. I like nice numbers divisible by 5 or 10 9well I should say 5 since 10 is divisible by 5) so I told myself, "ok sweaty ass, keep going until you reach 715 cals burned"..ok boss. Well, that takes care of the lasagna I just ate.

so as for my battles:

Sarah v. Food: Sarah:1, Food: 0
Laziness v. Exercise: Laziness:1, Exercise:1...since i did spend most of the day in my pjs.
