First and foremost, thank you to everyone who commented and supported my post from yesterday. Your kind words helped quite a bit to help boost me out of the pity party I was having.

Saturday recap: I walked a total of one hour and did 15 squats. I got in 6 large (24oz) glasses of water. And my food victory was that even though I made fries for my family for dinner, I only ate 4. Lunch was not the greatest (2 slices of frozen pizza and some sliced cucumber) but I did manage to get through the day without snacking, which has been a huge weakness lately.

I spent a lot of time thinking yesterday, and I have developed a list of truths for me...

1. When I am physically active, I am more productive in my day-to-day life. I am more likely to get through my to do list and feel good about the condition of our home, and who I am as a wife and mommy.

2. I HATE workout videos. The chirpy leader, the schmaltzy smiles of his or her back up group, the elevator music... blech. If I have to force myself to use a workout video to exercise, I just won't do it. I am better off if I come up with my own routine, and do it while I watch a favourite tv show, I'm more likely to get it done. And not be watching the clock the entire time.

3. When I eat what I should, limiting my carbs and keeping my blood sugars in my target zone, I am a happier, more even-keeled person. I don't have the mood swings and massive carb-crashes that make me feel like a slug.

4. Counting calories is not my thing. I'm much more concerned about my carb numbers, as they relate to my blood sugars. So, I don't think that I will use the food tracker here (I never really have, and I did very well without it last year), but instead I will go back to tracking my carbs on my own spreadsheet.

As for today, I have a small challenge ahead of me. It's Oscar Sunday, and as I always do, I have planned a dinner of appetizers and nibbles so that I can enjoy the show and my family can still be fed. I have a few plans in place to help me. Instead of bringing the food out to the living room and setting up a buffet of high-fat, high-carb appies, the food will definitely stay in the kitchen. I will be less likely to unconsciously eat if I have to get up to get more. I am also going to put together a large plate of veggies, and I'm going to make devilled eggs (very little mayo, lots of spice). There will still be chicken wings and pizza puffs, but I WILL limit myself.

I hear my wee-lings stirring. It's time to get going for the day.

I'm trying to do the same thing for our Oscar party tonight. Good luck to us! Diabetics do have an advantage in that their nutritional counseling (learning about the glycemic index and understanding of the importance of having meals and snack be balanced between protein, fast carbs and slow carbs) prepares them well for self-monitoring. I did a program in 2009 called "Food Lovers" that was created by a nutritionist and followed all diabetic education principles. The only calories we had to count were for our snacks. They had pages and pages of snacks in the appropriate 100-200 calorie range (for women). The rest of your food just needed to be in the right balance of said protein, fast carbs and slow carbs, plus the proper serving size. I did fairly well on that program, so even though I don't really mind counting calories on here and accounting for every single thing I eat, I have that background to fall back on.
