What a month July was. There were so many highs, lows, ups, downs, and whatever other phrase you want to use. My wedding was in the middle of the month, but my family flew into town the first week of July and that’s when the vacation in my mind kicked in. I stopped going to the gym on July 3 because of the holiday the next day and then parents flying into town. The week after the wedding was a relaxation week and I didn’t get to the gym at all that week either. Then, the week after that I was flying up to Pennsylvania to spend time with family and have a little reception up there as well, so still no gym.
Since I’ve been back from PA, I haven’t made it back to the gym either. Today is going to be my first day back in over a month, so this should be a lot of fun.
Obviously, by not going to the gym for over a month I have put all the weight that I lost, back on. During this month long vacation, I didn’t eat very well either. In the month of July I probably cooked dinner a total of 5-6 times and ate lunch at home maybe 2-3 times a week, the rest of the days were all eating out.
Also, during this time, my insulin supply was low, so it was pretty stressful not knowing where I was going to get my next round of insulin from. My morning blood sugars have been crazy high since I went off the pump, so I have been dealing with that during the month of July.
Everytime I would try and sit down and write a blog post or read blog posts, or talk with people on Twitter or do anything related to the DOC, I never seemed to have any time to do so.
I am happy for all of the great things that happened in the month of July, but I am also glad that it is over and now that Amanda has started working again with the school year here, I have so much more time to do a lot of the things that I have been missing out on.
