My Three Words of 2010 – 1 Month Later

Posted by Chris on Feb 4, 2010 in A1C, High Blood Sugar | 0 comments

Back in the first or second week of January, I wrote a post about my three words of 2010. These words were growth, dedication, and health. I outlined what all 3 of them meant to me and what my plans were to achieve and live those 3 words all year long. Today I wanted to take the time and give a monthly update on those three words. If you have read that post, I encourage you to so this post makes sense to you. I also encourage you to do your own 3 words and then share them with me, because I would love to see what yours are as well.

Growth

The main reasoning for this was to grow as a person, just become a better person. Over the last month I have been doing this quite well. I do not get to flustered over minor things, I don’t let the little things in life get to me and ruin my day like they once have. If somebody cuts in front of me in the grocery line, I just take a deep breathe and smile. A lot of times when my blood sugar gets high, my patience goes right out the door, I’m sure you all know what I mean, so I have been trying hard to control that as well. There have been times in the past that I have been short and snappy with Amanda just because my blood sugar is low, and she doesn’t deserve that because my insulin didn’t work properly. She understands that if my sugar is high that I am probably not going to be the happiest person in the world. There is still room for more growth, there always is.

Dedication

I have definitely slacked off here, big time. I have dedicated myself to my business a lot more. I am accomplishing more work for current clients, but haven’t spent enough time recruiting more. Exercise wise, there really hasn’t been any. I exercise, once or twice a week because I always feel like I have no time, but that is why I have made this one of my words of 2010. I have not dedicated enough time to cooking healthy meals either. I have been given a 1-month free trial pass to LA Fitness, so I am going to go there for a month and that should get me back into the motions of wanting to exercise again because of how good it makes me feel.

Health

For those of you that follow me on Twitter, know that my blood sugars have not been that good lately. I have been sick and have been having really high blood sugars all week long. There have been a few that hit the 400′s but the average has been around 250 or so. You can see my 7,14,and 30 day averages in yesterday’s post about not having an A1C test done for a while. This is my number one concern is my health. My dedication is going to be the key factor into getting my health better again.

So enough blogging about it, and time to actually do it!
