Not a Great Weekend For Diet and Blood Sugar

This weekend was not so good for the blood sugars or my diet. My levels were running up close towards the mid 200′s on average all weekend. Last night after dinner my blood sugar was over 400 for about 3-4 hours be fore it finally came down in the middle of the night. When it is that high the first thing that I do is change my site. It’s weird though because my sugar was 115, and then I ate a salad and about 30 minutes later I changed my site and about 30 minutes after that I had chinese food for dinner.

That leads into why my diet wasn’t so good this weekend as well. Last night I had chinese food from Pei Wei. On Saturday I didn’t get home until 6 and had to leave at 6:30 for the Panthers game, so I had to stop at Burger King quickly to pick something up. I know I could have eaten a little better while ordering from BK, but I was starving and haven’t had BK in forever so I decided to go with two of their spicy chicken sandwiches and a junior whopper, like I said, not the best decision I ever made. Friday night was even worse. I went to a friend’s naturalization party, I know who has ever gone to one of those before! It was a place in Boca Raton called The Lodge. The beer is not normal beer, so it was a little expensive, but the food was amazing. We had some BBQ chicken nachos and a grilled chicken sandwich. My blood sugar was about 300 at the end of the night, but the amount of food that I ate was incredible.

I’m becoming thirsty right now thinking about all of these high blood sugars! I might even have to go to the bathroom soon too. Funny how thinking about certain things makes your brain want water and go to bathroom.

The weekend was very busy, so fast food just seemed like the right option for me. I started doing some side work at a local fitness center helping out with directing sports during birthday parties and events for the little kids. I coach football, so I enjoy doing these things on the side. At the same time trying to keep up with the consulting work because unfortunately that doesn’t stop after 5 p.m. on a Friday.

Speaking of work, it is time to get back to it. I hope everybody’s week is off to a great start. See you all on Twitter throughout the day. I’m going to have a nice little surprise for everybody on Twitter on February 1, so if you’re not following me yet, you better get to it, because the contest will be on Twitter only!
