Tales from the Scales: Checking In

KayLynn · July 20, 2015 · 2 Comments

Posting has been limited the past couple of months.  I haven’t really been on track since May’s vacation.  I’ve had three business trips and two personal trips in that time.

I backtrack whenever I travel and five trips in six weeks has predictably left me heavier and less fit.  I am scheduled to arrive home from this trip to Atlanta Wednesday evening.  Thursday is defintely a wash as I will be jetlagged and cranky.

Friday is the reboot for healthier living by:

  • Kaia Fit 5 am class
  • tracking food in MyFitnessPal
  • Making better choices (although I’m working on that all week)

Food Plan

This header is a bit of misnomer since I’ve not been following any kind of a plan.  I’m eating healthy foods for the most part; just too darn much of it.  If I’m not hungry at snack time, that’s a sign the meal before was way too big!

Crab Cake Salad

 

Shrimp and Grits

I had seafood in Maryland…

Taco salad

 

Flatbread

Lots of good food in Kansas besides this flatbread (not so good) and the taco salad (very good).

Weigh-in

I will get on the scale for the actual starting point next Monday.  I did have to weigh in at the doctor’s office recently and I was up 8 pounds fromm the last visit in March.  That’s a lot pretty quickly.

The good news is that my HbA1C was exactly the same as in March so I can stay off Metformin for now and she changed my diagnosis from pre-diabetes to impaired glucose tolerance.

Other good news was that my blood pressure is fine without any other medication other than HCTZ 25 mg.  After 12 years I was able to get off Diovan!

Fitness

Hula hooping at Kaia FIT.

I’ve attended Kaia Fit when in town but not religiously or on weekends.  It’s time to get serious about it as I know this type of exercise is the reason I was able to get off those medications.

Challenges

My challenge is to make good choices these three days traveling and be disciplined in all aspects of living.

What helps you get back on track?

    For me, getting back on track comes down to:
    1. Remembering why living a healthy life is important to me (not dying from diabetic complications before I’m 50),
    2. Focusing on one meal at a time and pre-tracking my food during the work week, and,
    3. Saying no to activities & commitments that don’t directly support my better health efforts (when I’m overwhelmed, I don’t make good choices, so fewer commitments are better).

    That said, I’d love to get together Saturday morning after Kaia Fit, if you’re free – coffee at the usual spot? 🙂

      Denise, these are all great tips for getting back on track. I will use at least one!

      Saturday would be great if you can do coffee early. Would you be interested in joining us at Kaia FIT for the walk/run (I walk) at 6:30 am? I can pick you up and we can go to coffee when it’s over at 7:30.
