Apple and banana instead of candy..
Kategori: Allmänt
I am slowly rewiring my brain. Tonight I left the house with the intentions to throw the garbage out, "panta burkar", buy eggs and bananas, plus going to the candy store and get some candy! However, candy is not the best for me or for anyone for that matter. You consume unnecessary calories that your body does not need, mess up your metabolism, and even for nondiabetics your bs might rise, for me it will definetely rise. Knowing this I still give in at times and have some candy, but I do not even really like it and have always felt crappy after eating it, even before diabetes.
When I got to the store I tried to develop tunnel vision to only go grab what I needed, it kind of worked allthough I almost grabbed a coke. Then leaving the store I stopped and looked over towards the candy store and then looked towards home.. which way to go!? Started moving towards the candy but then after two steps I stopped myself and walked home.. you would think my battle was over then but NO! When I got home I got into a cleaning frenzy because the apartment seemed superdirty, I cleaned until sweat ran off my face - I decided that if I test my bs and it is low after this intense cleaning frenzy then I get to go buy candy - bs was 8.1 (=perfect), my candybattle this evening was over! Just cut up some apple and banana and had that instead, it was good and I feel sort of proud!
Earlier today I went on a bikeride with my dad, it ended up being 50km and he kept pushing me to my limit. There was at least 5kms that had an average between 31-34km/hr - THAT IS SUPERFAST (for me)!
Tired legs after the ride. Forgot to mention that I attempted a run afterwards, need to continue on doing that because today was certainly not a success - practice makes perfect!
Following Le Tour de France a bit with Mr. C ( he is addicted to it ;) ) now and I realize 31-34km/hr is not very fast, they go at a slowest average of 37km/hr for a 150-200km distance in these flatter stages in the beginning of the tour. However, there is no point in comparing yourself to others when your main goal is bettering yourself for yourself.. if I was competing for titles and wins it would be a different matter and who knows maybe I will in the future. As of now though, I am just training and racing for me with the goal to prove to myself that I CAN!
