Tonight's low carb dinner :)
Veggie chicken, mushrooms, onion, spinach, tomatoes and broccoli.. So far so good getting through the day without meal time insulin :P
gotto change..
Kategori: Allmänt
Its time for a change... sticking to a change is difficult, however I have now decided to take this summer to work on myself. I feel very blessed to have gotten the opporuntity to do so, and I do think that it is very necessary for me in order to find a balance in my life, both physically and psychologically with my diabetes. I realize it is going to take me some time to figure myself out on every level, but I think taking some time off things for a while might help me get there quicker! :( HOPEFUL!
Today I woke up not feeling like working out, so came up witht the idea that I am going to try get through the day on nothing but my base level insulin (the one shot I take at night, that helps my sugar stay more leveled throghout the day). So far so good! Had breakfast and went from a sugar of 5 when I woke up, to 7.3 now an hour and a half later and got full from my breakfast! :) SUCCESS!! Had an apple, half a banana, 1.5tbsp peanutbutter, 2 rice cakes with fat free cream cheese and 2 hard boiled eggs. Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the day goes.
Tonight at 4pm I have my last big project due for my college career, I am also presenting it with a 5 minute presentation.. SO EXCITED to be DONE! Then I have another assignment due today, but already submitted that one, and then an assignment due tomorrow, but already submitted that one too ;) So after today I only have 1 exam, possibly two, left next week and one smaller assignment due.. THEN IM COMPLETELY DONE!!!!! :)
On saturday I went on a bike ride with some of my guy friends..I have never ever gone that fast!!! They took it "easy" the first half, which meant we were only holding like 30km/h most of the time ;) but after we had turned around for the second half they left me pretty quick, which I was okay with, I was still able to finish with an average speed of 28km/h ( I am usually around 24-25km/h).. The ride was 35.7km and took 1hr15min :) Feels like I am gonna be good for the Olympic Triathlon I want to do in August. Pretty much did all the distances for it this weekend, 10km run on friday, 35.7km bike on saturday, and a 2000m swim yesterday for Swim for Diabetes. Planning to go for another ride tomorrow with some of the guys again...hoepfully I am able to keep up for longer this time :)
On saturday we also had our end of the year swimming luncheon, I got so many gifts because Im a senior, one of my favorites was this board of a bunch of pretty pictures that my Lady Vikes had made for all us seniors. Here is mine :)
Thats all for now!

Great run = PAIN haha :P
Kategori: Allmänt
Went on a 10k run yesterday with Jocelyn, WIN!!! Felt awful and then a lot better, but the last km was hard cause we were building into it, so the last km went fast.. Held a avg pace of 5.49 which I am really happy with, it would be around were my goal is to be able to hold for the 10k in the olympic triathlon Im probably doing in august, and the half marathon Im eventually gonna try and do, if I can stay under 6min pace for that I would be extatic!! :)
Diabetes wise I was struggling before the run, becasue I was feeling nausious, but as I got into it I was able to think of something else... However, during the rest of the night my sugar stayed quite high, at like 9, which I thought was weird because I had just worked out so hard I even thought I had taken too little insulin with dinner, which was at J.Gumbos :) I thought I was gonna be low, but ended up high.. these are the kind of situations that are difficult.. because they make me feel so out of control over my body! not a nice feeling!
Last night I was able to get a lot of school work done! I was really productive, so now I do not have that much left for the rest of the weekend, mostly some touching up and proof reading of my assignments and project. I also have to prepare for the presentation of my project that I have on monday, but it should not be that big of a deal. I also have a little dilemma.. during finals week I could take the final in my psychology class, however it is not mandatory, but if you take it, it could improve your grade, because if I would get a better grade on that exam than any of the prevoius 4 exams we have had this semester it woudl boost my grade... RIght now I am at 90% which would give me an A-... but I also have this assignment that Im turning in on monday, so if that assignment is anything less than 100% then I would end up with a B+ most likely, if I do not take the final... Hopefully I will know my assginment grade before I would have to take the final... I am also thinking, do I REALLY care if I get a B+ or an A- or possibly even an A... and cannot seem to decide if I do or not just yet, but Ill keep you posted ;)
Today we are havung our annual swimming awards luncheon, we all have to dress up and listen to our coach talk and each a bunch of very tastey but usually very unhealthy food..especially to a diabetic :P haha shoudl be alright though, afterwards I think I am gonna go for a bike ride cause its almost 20 degrees celsius out :)

Our run yesterday! :)
MAKEUP SUCCESS!!! :)
Kategori: Allmänt
Have had a rough couple of weeks or month really..so when nights like these come around Im extra happy!! :) had a really awesome time during the make up session at Jamies apartment. There was a really cool girl from MaryKay that came over and showed us their products and how to use them, I posted a before and after picture below..its crazy what makeup can do to your shine :P haahaha I also ended up buying a couple of things from her :P haha (of course) I bought the lipgloss, which is purple, I never thought that would look good on me, but it doesnt really look purple on, I thought it looked awesome :) and then I bought a eye cream that did wonders to the blackness under my eyes...yes even though Im only 22, my eyes are stille super dark!!!!!! :/ so better start using these creams to not make it any worse for the future ;) I think my mom will like it too, so gonna let her try it when they come over in two weeks for my graduation! :)
After the makeup session, Jamies mom was so kind and drove me home.. its about a 15min walk, but kind of in sketchy areas and was at 10 a clock at night...so was very happy I got a ride. Anyhow, when I got back I decided to go to the bar "pacers" in the bottom of my building, because I knew some of my friends were there..so I sat there and caught up with some people I havent hung out with in a while, which was great :)
Diabetes wise the afternoon has been shitty...been around 10 all night, mostly at 9, but still....however, a night like this it didnt bring me down. My workout earlier went from a 10k run to a 60min eliptical, because it started raining and got colder...and was so unmotivated to even stand on the eliptical today, felt so out of energy! which I blame the diabetes..haha I need to stop blaming things on the diabetes..... for real.. anyhow, tomorrow I am going to make a better attempt at a good workout, cause my jeans arent fitting me like they should, a bit too tight...stil get in them though, so thats good at least!
Now Im gonna try stream the new greys anatomy episode online before I go to bed :)
GOOD NIGHT CLEVELAND!

Tonight Im going over to my friend Jamies apartment and we are getting like facials and make up I believe, she won some competetion, so like a specialist is coming to fix us up haha gonna be fun :P rarely do these kind of things :)
My day off from training yesterday was kind of bad... conclusion: I probably shouldnt take days off that often, maybe just take days of less intense workouts instead... like doing the eliptical for 1 hour makes me sweat but doesnt really make me that tired or is hard for my body, especially if I dont go that fast... obviously haha
So today I am gonna work out again, trying to figure out what Im gonna do, because its sunny out but not super warm, only 9 degrees celsius, but with the right clothes that should be warm enough. So maybe I will go for another longer run today, maybe I will make it to 10km :S hahah we will see how I feel...
The past weeks or months really, Ive been thinking a lot about my future.. what should I do??
One of my dreams would be to start my own company giving coaching, dietary, and lifestyle advice to other people with diabetes, and Im currently looking at the possibilities of doing so.. found an education in Stockholm that would make me a "diet and health coach" and I am also thinking about becoming a certified personal trainer. People might think that because these are my goals, Ive thrown away my college degree, which is in management, however I think I would have great use of that degree when it comes to starting my own company and maybe managing other employees. What I want to do usually changes a lot, however, this feels like something I would really be good at and enjoy doing as well.. It is really important to me that I do something that I like doing, at the same time I realize the value in just earning money to be able to do things on my free time as well ;)
Diabetes wise yesterday was kinda crappy.. have had a lot of highs recently, not as many lows... there is so much going on in my life right now tho, on every level, personal, school, health, training etc. This makes it difficult for me to manage my sugar as well as I would like to. I also think that my lifestyle here in the US is not necessarily as well adjusted to the life of a diebtec as my lifestyle is when I go home to Sweden. I dont know why, but it seems easier to me to destress, eat and be more healthy, and sleep more when I am home, and all those things are such important factors when trying to keep a stabile blood sugar level. For example, yesterday I did not go to bed until 1am, and the same the two nights before then.. It was not because I was out or anything, I just did not feel like going to bed earlier and was doing things like school work and searching the web and such. I still get about 8 hours of sleep, but its during the wrong hours, my mom always used to tell me that the more hours you sleep before midnight, the more rested you will feel the next day and I definetely believe that to be true... unfortunally I dont seem to get to experience that too much anymore... Its weird but I like staying up late and I like waking up early haha difficult things to combine haha
Got done some of my school work last night.. I procrastinate so much but when I sit down and actually do it and takes such a short time to do... Im quite the efficient person haha, although this does not always work to my advantage because sometimes I am not thorough enough. To me though, this is always a balance of prioritizing how much time you want to spend on something compared to how good you want the outcome to be, if you need be sure of a better outcome then you obviously need to put more time into it. I dont know if you get my logic, but this has always made sense to me and I seem to live my life by it a lot.. not only when it comes to academics but also to work, social life, and relationships.
Anyhow, thats all the pondering I have for now!

Booked HbA1c appointment..scary!
Kategori: Allmänt
Thursday next week I am gonna get my HbA1c tested again, scary stuff!! I shuoldnt have gotten such a good first test.. then maybe I wouldnt feel so much pressure about it now. Joke aside, hopeffully its not too crappy!
I have now worked out for 9 days in a row, so today I think is gonna be my first rest day! :) the weather is rainy and a lot colder then the past few days too, so no fun to go out and workout. Yesterday I ran 8.5km in 50minutes :) and on monday Mr.C and I went on a 40km+ bikeride in the Cleveland Metroparks. Was very beautiful, grass was green and yellow flowers were convering the woods. We were also able to go really fast, at least on the 2nd half of the trip, during the 1st half my diabetes was messing with me, I had a high after breakfast and had to take some extra insulin right before we went out on our ride, so was running low on energy... For those of you that dont know how the diabetes affects you, when it sways a lot you loose a lot of energy because the sugar/energy does not get out to the muscles the normal way it would in a non diabetic person. It is hard to explain the feeling, because I have never experienced anything like it before, even though I have been an athlete my whole life, I have never gotten so tired that I have felt no energy in my muscles. What happened on monday was that my legs started cramping too, the only thing I can compare it too is with the feeling right after lifting weights for like an hour really hard and then trying to walk up some stairs.. usually you feel like every step is a struggle.. Thats kind of how I feel when my sugar has dropped from high to lower and I try to work out on top of that.
Tonight I have one of my last exams in college, then I have to start working some more on my three assignments due next week, one is a big project including a presentation and the other two are smaller assignments (about 2-3 pages). I have certainly been procrastinating with these, but I am starting to run a little low on time, this weekend is pretty booked too because on saturday we have our swimming luncheon banquet and on sunday I am doing the swim for diabetes.
Started watching this swedish show yesterday, my mom has been telling me about it forever, but as with anything, people can never really tell me what to do, because I wont really do it until I feel like I want to do it :P Anyhow, started watching it yesterday and was hooked, which proves the point I guess that mothers are usually right ;) haha Its called "mot alla odds" and is about 10 adults with disabilities, some are in wheel chairs some have amputaded limbs and one of them is blind. They have taken on the challange to walk through the Nicaraguan jungle and over volcanoes to get from the atlantic ocean to the pacific ocean. The areas they have to walk through are definetely not wheelchair friendly or well adjusted for any of their disabilities, but they get through it and its awesome to see what the human body can overcome and adjust to. It gave me some great motivation with my own struggles, it made me feel like I can and need to keep challanging myself every day. I cannot dig myself into a hole where I am not as exposed to the dangers of my disease just because I am scared. I think for the future, I am going to have to take on great challanges to stay motivated and to be able to stay sane with this diesease.. because it is very easy to let it control and define you. There are obviously things you need to think about to remain healthy, but I cannot do anything less than I would if I wouldnt have gotten diabetes.. I think because I have diabetes I should try and do even more and I think I will.. For example, one thing that I have talked about before is to complete an Iron Man. Going on my 40k bikeride on monday and struggling a lot, made me a little sad because it made me realize how far I have left to an Iron Man, which includes a 180k bikeride. However, completing an Iron Man isnt easy to begin with and even harder with diabetes, but it is not supposed to be easy, it is a challange. But like I said before, I think I need challanges! I just have to make sure to not get upset when I am struggling during a 40k ride, because it is a journey.. ;)
Thats all for now, a lot of big thoughts during the past couple of days :P I guess I am in that kind of mood this week!

Novo Nordisk Diabetes Bottle Ready TO GO!! Changing diabetes one day at a time!
My brother is smart...
Kategori: Allmänt
Have worked out every day this week!! SUCCESS!!! Although the workouts havent been intense or long, around an hour, I am feeling very accomplished going into next week.. However am falling a little behind on school work, but that is not unusual and I always oull through in the end anyways. As I have mentioned before, I am so sick of school!!
Diabetes wise I am starting to freak out a bit about having to take another HbA1c so soon again...because I freaked out before last time, but I feel like my sugar had been way more stabile before that time than now. I have had a month now of instabile readings due to various infections. Anyhow, I guess I just have to do it anyways and if its bad, try to make it better for next time... I read something online though about how the first 2 years after diagnosis are the most important in preventing future complications from the diabetes, which made me realize I need to be even more careful.. However it is a constant debate in my consious whether or not to do certain things, that on the other side might make me feel good and happier for the moment, but could also lead to a worse sugar reading or another infection. What I am talking about is mainly going out. I am not one of those people that usually go out that much anyways, however, I am still in college and only have 3 weeks left of it too, which feels like something worth celebrating for, dont you think??? I mean partying is what college is all for, should I have to stay in just because I now have diabetes??? At the same time, the times I do go out these days, like for example on thursday and saturday this week, I quickly realize how a little alcohol makes such a great impact on my body and sugar readings, almost instantly, and also how it effects the day after. Part of me feel like I should be smarter about these situations, and part of me feel like I am probably too hard on myself, cause I usually am... and maybe I should cut myself some slack.. But then I think about it another way - its my health we are talking about here, dont I have to be hard on myself when it comes to that????
Part of this is what my brother and I talked about earlier today when we skyped, how it is important to take some time to get used to the new situation and to always remember that it is going to get better down the road... I also talked to him about how it is difficult to have a chronical disease that dominates everything of your life, but to the people around you it seems almost as if everything was the same. He was being very supportive and insightful.. crazy, but my little brother is all grown up! He even has his own apartment that he actually owns! and a fulltime job... by some standards people would probably consider him even more grown up than me.
Thats all for tonight,

Hello
Kategori: Allmänt
Rough week, rough day... trying to figure out this whole diabetes thing, its hard, I feel like I am trying my hardest, but maybe I need to try even harder to get this whole thing under control.
Have worked out every day this week, its been nice... today I did 1hour on the eliptical and then the tank top arms strength workout. Yesterday I went out on a bike ride with one of my former team mates, it was super windy though! Like ridicolously windy! I almost fell of my bike because of the wind.
Tomorrow we are going out to celebrate one of our friends bday, gonna be fun! And on sunday I think Mr.C and I are going to try to go out for a bikeride because its supposed to be sunny and he has off work :)
over and out..ttyl
lowest low.. but good spirits
Kategori: Allmänt
Just had my lowest low ever! was down at 2.8 and sweating like a pig.. I thought I was just hungry, but then I started shaking and sweating perfusely..so I took my sugar and was quite shocked because Ive never seen a number below 3 before. Anyhow.. I was able to remain calm this time and not binge... SUCCESS!! :)
Since monday I have been working out once a day for about an hour and it has been working great, so I think that next week I am going to try and work out twice a day a few times a week and maybe workout a little over an hour during most workouts.
My presentation the other day went great! The professor thought we did awesome and my part went like I had practiced. The awards luncheon was alright, it was like it always is.. haha Today I have a take home final exam due at 4pm, which I finished late last night at 11pm. So now im just chilling on the coach, which is awesome.. I woke up early this morning, at 6am, to workout before working at 8.. so Im kinda tired now and thinking maybe Ill "aacidentaly" fall asleep in front of the TV for a little... THIS IS LIFE ;)
I am so excited that school is almost over with! I am going to get going on finishing the assignments I have left later today, but for now.. its CHILL TIME :P

turning around..
Kategori: Allmänt
Has been a rough couple of weeks... have really gotten to know first hand what kind of things comes a type 1 diabetics way. But now its finally turning around... fingers crossed... today I went on a 5k run and did some abs, was awesome. Weather was so great today, which is definetely something I am going to miss when moving to sweden, we would never have 20 degree summer weather with warm evenings as well in the middle of April.
Trying to figure out my summer plans, I really want to go for a roadtrip, so Im trying to figure out anyone to go with! Any takers?!?!? :P Seems like Gretchen, my friend from swimming, might be able to go, would be awesome!!
Diabetes wise the day was good too, had one high reading at 10 after breakfast, but other than that its been good and I have only had good food and had stayed on the calorie and carb amounts I wanna be at. Which is around 300 carbs and 2000 calories when I work out like I did today. So that was a success, and wasnt even that hard to do it today, which was suprising...
Tomorrow I have my biggest presentation this year, a 1 hour presentation, I am not alone doing it, its with a group of 9 total..so should be fine, my part is a little over 7 minutes :) Have gone over it twice tonight in front of Mr. C and after the first time going through it and some pointers from him I was able to go through it the second time better. But after that I will be completely done with that class. Tomorrrow we also have the athletic awards luncheon, where all the athletes that have grades of 3.0 average, out of 4.0 which is the highest grade point average. Hopefully that will be fun, we have to dress nice for it so I am wearing a dress tomorrow, for both the presentation and the luncheon.
TTYL :)
New day.. New energy.. A new attempt to be healthy!
I just woke up, today I'm gonna drive Mr.C and his bike to work so he can ride the bike back.. And his work is right by a mall, so I'm gonna go have breakfast out there and do some school work until the mall opens at 11.. I'm gonna make another attempt at finding my graduation outfit, cause although I found some pretty things last time :P I didn't find the dress :/
Then I'm going home and maybe ill go workout, can't tell if I should start or not because I'm still waking up with a sore throat in the mornings.. And I really do not want to get the cold back again! But maybe a low intense eliptical workout would be alright still :)

Massive munchies attack due to low blood sugar :/
Kategori: Allmänt
I did so well all day! And then at night my sugar kept staying high no matter how much insulin I took so I just kept taking more and more.. eventually it went really low and I felt hypoglycemic and shaky...soo got massive munchies! :( Im trying to cut 50 calories every day... starting yesterday, but just blew it a lot just now! :( ah well.. this is gonna take some time... and anyone who has diabetes would know that when you get low you can eat anything in the whole world!!!! and you cannot stop yourself..No I feel so gross!!!
Anyhow..seems like my cold has finally gone away.. wanna start training again, cause kind of in a rut right now and working out always makes me feel better! I also have to learn how to count carbs..but I feel like I just dont have enough time right now with school. At the same time there would be so much to gain from learning how to do it.. I think I would be able to keep my sugar a lot more stabile...
Need some new energy.. open for any advice on how to make myself feel better and healthier, its almost like I am in a downward spiral now! Think I need to find someone with type 1 who is active in sports but has had diabetes for longer that I can talk to.. if anyone know of anyone Im open for any suggestions! :)

Went to the west side market again today, woke up at 6.40 :P was tired but got out of bed! Got so mamy goodies.. brocoli, cauliflower, cucumber, spring mix salad, mushrooms, tomatoes, oranges, apples, bananas, strawberries, cottage cheese, greek yoghurt, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, minerva swiss cheese, and two kinds of sourdough bread.

Later Im planning on going to the mall to look for a graduation day outfit, because its getting closer now! a lot closer!! only 4 weeks until its the day before comencement day now! and only 3 weeks left of classes :) EXCITING!!!!!
Diabetes wise, had my highest high since winter break yesterday.. 15.6!!!! not good..and sneaked up on me like no other, had no clue it was going to be so high, so obviously I kind of freaked out and gave myself way too much insulin, so less than 1hr30min later I was down at 4.0 and obviously felt like poop... nausious and tired!
My cold is getting better, but still not gotten rid of it! Hopefully by the beginning of next week I will be good to go/starting working out!!!

Just made lasanga for Mr.C and I when he gets home from work! Was his first day today :) It smells awesome and Im super hungry but cannot eat cause sugar is a little high :/ LIFE OF A DIABETIC ;)
Anyhow, not much has happened lately because I am sick so just sit home all day haha..boring life..
Dont have anything in school this week, but have so much starting next week!! So I should get started on it!! Cannot believe it, less than 4 weeks left of classes now OMG!!! So excited, and my summerplans are unfolding as we speak as well.. looks like Ill be staying in cleveland for a month at least and continue working as a lifeguard to make some money and then I will travel around for a little over a month and visit Mr.C who is going to be in North Carolina over the summer..

Awesome Bike ride!!
Kategori: Allmänt
We went for bike ride today, Mr C and I and our friend Mark. Was awesome, weather was great and I was able to keep up pretty well with them, at least they said they were impressed.. Im happy with that :P
Think I got a little tired tho, becasue after the ride I put my iphone, credit card, and drivers license on the roof of the car and we drove away with it still sitting there. The phone stayed on for a good 5minutes of driving !!HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!!! :P the cards were not there so we drove back and found them on the street right by where we had parked, IM SO LUCKY!! :P
Was also able to maintain my sugar during the ride, which took 1hr50min, we went 45km/29miles.. felt very acocmplished that I didnt let my diabetes get in the way this time :)
Now time to get ready for tonight, Mr.C and I are going to this basket ball showing event with our friends Jocelyn and Mark, where they show the college games and have unlimitted food and drink for like 20bucks... Im not drinking tho so hopefully the food is worth it :)

Fun-busy day :)
Woke up at 6.45 am to go to west side market.. 3rd day in a row with waking up with the sunrise!! :) was totally alone at the market, just me and the vendors :) was great, think I'm gonna make this a tradition!! Then I went home and made a delicious breakfast with what I had bought.. Pic below.. Then chilled on the couch with some Greys and then Mr. C woke up and we watched parks and recreation and modern family two of our favorite shows we have in common.
Then he went on a bike ride and my friend Jamie came over and we made lunch, chatted, and studied until 3pm when I worked out, 1hour on the eliptical watching the mentalist, awesome when there's a TV attached to the machine :)
After that I went to a work meeting and now I'm back hanging out with Jamie getting ready for tonight :) gonna be a fun night, obviously I will take it easy on the drinks, because of my diabetes, I try to look at it this way tho... At least I won't be hungover the next day :P
Diabetes wise the day has been good too!! No high readings, and no extremely low either!! Yay!! Lets hope this is an indication of how this weekend will be :)
Tomorrow I'm going on a bikeride with Mr. C and some other friends, gonna be fun :) haven't been out since spring break!! Will try to take some pics both tonight and tomorrow to post :)

Sunrise this morning too :)
Woke up at 7am to watch the sunrise and complete a school assignment I had to have done by my class today at 10am.. Was very productive, it seems like I am never as productive as I am in the morning.. However it was a struggle to get up, but I boiled some tea (which I think is going to be my new thing instead of coke zero) and sat on the couch, put on some nice music from spotify and then got to work on my school stuff :) now it's 9am and I'm done with the assignment and still have another hour until class, so I'm gonna look around on Pinterest for some workout inspiration for today!! Planning a workout around 3pm today, maybe a run outside because its nice out :) after that I have to work at 5.45pm until 11 :/
Another thing, I'm trying to eat better and stick to a certain calorie count, both for myself and the diabetes, but I dont seem to get satisfied food wise... I always get hungry late at night, which I think is the worst too.. I need to try and find advice on how not to have that late night binge! Any suggestions?
View from my living room! :) BEAUTIFUL
CATCH YA LATER GATORS ;)
First workout in a week and a half, YAY!
Kategori: Diabetes
Äntligen har jag kommit igång med träningen igen, hoppas jag i allafall :) Körde i allafall första träningspasset idag på en och en halv vecka. Körde 30min på eliptical och lite överkropps styrka på 15min.. med andra ord en kort träning, men har fortfarande ont i halsen, så känns viktigt att ta det lite försiktigt. Kändes i alla fall väldigt skönt, överkropps styrkan jag körde hitta jag på pinterest, har sökt mycket på träning och hälsa där de senaste dagarna... har med andra ord varit väldigt sugen på att börja träna igen.
Diabetesmässigt så har dagen varit en berochdalbana, jobba imorse klockan 8 och åt havregryns gröt med hallon sylt och mandel mjölk innan, tog 5 enheter vilket kändes på tok för mycket... men icke sa nicke, en och en halv timme senare på jobbet så var sockret 12,7, så tog då 2 enheter insulin till.. och en timme efter det så var jag nere på 3,8... tyder nog på att jag skulle haft lite mera is i magen och tagit mindre insulin när jag var hög.. men känns ju konstigt hur höga mina toppar är och djupa mina dalar är, känns ju inte riktigt rätt. Efter detta så mådde jag ju såklart piss och då var det dags att gå hem och träna.. som tur var så mådde jag mycket bättre efter jag hade tränat och sen ätit min goda lunch som jag skrev ett inlägg om tidigare idag.
Till skolan.. nu är jag klar med det mesta för veckan, har bara en sak kvar tills imorgon som jag behöver göra ikväll, förhoppningsvis tar det bara någon timme, för vill försöka gå och lägga mig tidigt.. verkar ju nämligen vara så att sockret är mer stabilt när jag sover mer... Men om inte annars så kan jag ju alltid gå och lägga mig i tid och vakna tidigare för att göra klart skoluppgiften. Var ju som sagt härligt att vakna innan soluppgången imorse, känns som det kan bli en ny livsfilosofi, att vakna med solen!!! :)
Nu sitter jag på min första lektion för dagen, kl 16 på kvällen sent!!! sen har jag en lektion till som är mycket roligare, den handlar om psykologiska sjukdomar, väldigt interessant faktiskt.
Vi hörs!
I've finally started to exercise again, I hope anyways :) Did my first workout today in a week and a half. Went 30min on the eliptical and then I did some upper body strength for 15min .. In other words, a short workout, but I still have a sore throat, so I think it is important to take things slowly. The workout went great, the upper body strength workout was awesome, I found it on Pinterest (picture above), have lookes a lot on exercise and health recently... In other words, Ive been very eager to start training again.
Diabetes-wise, today has been a rollercoaster, I worked this morning at 8 and had oatmeal with raspberry jam and almond milk for breakfast, took five units which felt way too much ... but it wasnt, an hour and a half later during work my sugar was 12.7, so took 2 units of insulin .. and an hour after that I was down at 3.8 ... I should definetely had been more careful and taken less insulin when I was high .. but feels strange how high my tops are and how deep my lows are, kinda odd I think. After this happened I obviously felt like s**t and by then I was done with work and was going to go work out at home... luckily I felt much better after working out and eating my delicious lunch that I wrote a post about earlier.
About school .. Now I'm done with most of the week, only one thing left for tomorrow that I have to do tonight, hopefully it will only take an hour, because I want to try to go to bed early .. seems like my sugar is more stable when I sleep more ... But I can always go to bed on time and wake up earlier to finish my school work. Today it was awesome to wake up before the sunrise, feels like it could be a new thing for me, waking up with the sun! :)
Now Im at my first class of the day, and after this one I have another class that is a lot more fun, it is about psychological disorders, which is very interesting to learn about.

Vi hörs senare! :)
Hoppas ni får en lika bra dag som hunden här ;)
Study study study
Have one exam tonight in abnormal psychology and one tomorrow in gendered communication.. And then two assignments due on Wednesday and one on Thursday.. One could say I'm kind of busy this week :/
On too of that I'm still sick, head hurts like crazy from sinuses being clogged and my sugar is still really instable although I'm taking significantly more insulin.. Thank god I'm graduating in just a little over a month!!! :)
I will make sure to post about my Easter weekend later which was great :) best I could have had other than being at my summer house
