It's Been 3 Weeks

Hasn't it?  I need to get a little more involved.  (Although, I must say, I feel abandoned by my cohorts...)

Keeping track of your blood glucose levels is interesting.  What have I learned so far? 

• My blood glucose is high in the morning.  Like, just shy of 180.  My brother says it's because overnight, your body burns things off that release stored sugars while you sleep.  Personally, I'm wondering if that's not why it's so hard for me to get up in the morning.
• My blood glucose is lower after eating 1/2 of a sandwich (15 grain, whole grain bread, ham or turkey, etc) and either a piece of fruit or a bunch of carrots than it is after eating a salad with a vinaigrette.  What?  That makes my head hurt.
• Drinking a can of soda (Mello Yello) does not spike my blood glucose, but a bottle of A&W Cream Soda?  Well...that's a different story...  Drat.  Maybe it was that fried chicken sandwich from Wendy's?
• Taking B-complex vitamins can turn your urine flourescent yellow.  I think it's also irritating my bladder.  (I'm sure that's TMI, if there's anyone out there actually reading this.)
• Eating small meals several times per day has done nothing for my weight.  What am I eating?  Half a sandwich and an apple between 630 and 700 for breakfast.  The other half of the sandwich and maybe another piece of fruit for a snack, around 930.  Another half of a sandwich and some baby carrots for lunch at 1230.  Another half of a sandwich (no accompaniment) around 330.  Small, veggie-heavy dinner around 630. 
  (You're  wanting the math, right?  Hmm...  It's roughly 270 calories per sandwich, about 100 for each piece of fruit and 50 for the carrots.  That's 790.  If I have a soda, that adds 120 (Total: 910), meaning I need a little over 300 more (minimum) total, easily accomplished at dinner with a bag of broccoli with a pat of butter (roughly 100 calories) and whatever else I fix to go with it.  (Which a chicken breast or most any other normal serving size of meat will get it there.)  So, yes, I am getting between 1200 and 1500 calories per day.)
• I'm still tired.  Or maybe I'm just feeling kinda blah.

Activity levels are still down, which is my fault, I know.  I am still taking dance, but that's only ONE class per month.  I need more.  I'd like to get a Bowflex Treadclimber, but we keep asking ourselves questions,  like, where will we put it?

I am intending (still) on signing up for the Biggest Loser 5K Walk/Run in Panama City.  Got to do it today or tomorrow; it just sucks because I just got paid, and it already feels like I'm about to be broke.  Am I the only one who feels that way?

For anyone who stumbles across this blog and reads...feel free to throw in some words of encouragement!  :)
