Making the commitment to post at least once a day for the whole month of November is tough, really tough. I am not going to lie, it has been overwhelming. For a few reasons, such as not having anything interesting to say everyday, being busy, not used to posting on Saturday and Sunday, and that’s pretty much it. Hmm… you know what that kind of sounds like? Managing my diabetes. It’s not always fun and interesting, too busy to check sugars, and not being as good with management of Saturday and Sunday’s.
NaBloPoMo has taught me a lesson about diabetes management. If you are determined, you can get it done. It’s an everyday thing and if you skip a day, you lose, you don’t win. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Slow and steady, one post at a time, one blood sugar check at a time. Plan out your post topics, plan out your meal / exercise plans. Isn’t it funny how something like this NaBloPoMo can change your life? Thanks Kerri for introducing NaBloPoMo to me.
Diabetes is a lifetime commitment. For some guys that can be a very scary word, women as well. You start to get the shakes and lightheaded and freak out and just want to run away when you are you are committed to something for life. It’s going to have it’s ups and downs, highs and lows (literally), but at the end of the day, if you take care of what you need to, it will all be ok. I know I’m now going into how this is like a relationship now, but with diabetes, NaBloPoMo and relationships, they all have some similar concepts and it makes it easier to think about controlling my diabetes.
Well you all have a great weekend I have a lot of stuff to get done today. There’s good news in the employment category, but some bad news along with it. Will post about it in a few days.
Take care everyone!
What a great comparison!! I never would have thought to equate diabetes management with NaBloPoMo, but you are so right. Awesome post!! And only ten more to go. 🙂
But – posting every day ends in 10 days, the d just won’t quit.
Oh well. Looking forward to your good news.
