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!
