So, this morning was a bit more difficult than I had expected. First off, I didn’t want to get up at all. My blood sugar was 84 this morning. I made breakfast and then shortly after breakfast rushed out the door to head over to Butterfly Life. This may not have been the smartest idea for me. I don’t know if it was my Byetta injection or just not letting my breakfast settle before the workout, but afterwards I was so wiped and a bit nauseous. I also was completely wiped from doing the circuit twice!! My muscles were wondering what the heck I had signed up for. Oddly enough, Denise asked me if I wanted to stay and do a video too. I laughed. I mean, seriously, I haven’t worked out really for awhile. So, I think I need to slowly get into this and get a good routine established. I need to get used to the circuit before I jump into classes. Maybe in a couple of weeks I can add a few classes into my schedule. Right now, I want to focus on mastering the circuit. Not to mention, I feel like an idiot when I am jumping on the trampolines (or rebounders as others call them). But I guess I will get used to that and since no one was laughing I should just cope!
But my first day went well. I came home, showered and took some advil to help with the pain. I am hoping that I will still have the energy to get housework and other tasks done today! I laid in the bed for a bit after my shower hoping to recover some energy, but mostly reading. I may actually have to have a nap this afternoon, but only after I get a few things done around here!
I also learned this week that doing my Byetta injection in the car was not smart! I ended up jabbing my finger and it bled pretty well. I slightly bent the needle and had to straighten it back up. And the injection hurt when I did it. Of course, I am sure it didn’t help that I was wearing a dress and was trying to do the injection without pulling my dress over my head. Yep, I think we will be eating dinner on Sundays before church. That would save me worrying about my blood sugar during evening services and would also save me trying to figure out my injection before dinner. It was pretty funny though!
So, tomorrow morning, I will probably take a few extra minutes after breakfast to let it settle and then head out the door to the gym. But I will be going back. I just keep telling myself…I can do this.
This weekend, I was able to resist corn on the cob, fried potatoes and peach cobbler at the same meal. It was hard and I really wanted the peach cobbler. But I am trying to keep my carbs really limited right now to get used to a lower carb diet. I did it though. The power of the mind can be pretty impressive. Or maybe my willpower is trying to come back!! I sure could use the help, so willpower would be great!!
