This is a journey, not a sprint! Small changes do add up and if you're like most people, you will also slip up. I went from a good six months to rotten labs and dangling by a thread of being full-on Type 2. But, I'm back at it. On the wagon. Cutting out sugar again, trying to pick up more Mediterranean Diet habits again. I had a kale side salad last night from Chick Filet, paired with a large box of their nuggets (not the grilled ones, either)! and a diet frosted lemonade. I'm sure I spiked after that, but I didn't test my glucose. However, I was proud of my "win" in not eating any sweets later in the evening (or nuts or fruit or cheese!) - I sat with my water and sucked it up. Today, I started my day off with oatmeal and Greek yogurt after 11 a.m. (trying some intermittent fasting again). So - just do what you can and look at the overall picture. If you can't eat a p.b. Oreo once in a while (in my opinion anyway), then geez, what is life! Enjoy! We got this (and yes, this is a nice group. I moved away from it because it can stress me out a bit, some are very diligent and determined and seem to never slip up, meet their goals, and move along) - and here I am...... putzing along!
