Well, this has been the hardest month of my life, but damn does it sure feel good. It always feels great when you set a goal and you accomplish it. Think about how many times you set goals and never accomplish them. For me, at least, I know it happens all the time where I don’t meet them. Especially when it comes to losing weight. Those are the goals that I set most often and the ones that I most often don’t meet. I will continue to try and post every single day, but the weekends is when it is the most difficult, but I can schedule posts for then. Also, I will be going back to work this week, so I won’t have as much time during the day to post and have fun on Twitter all day like I was.
But that is not an excuse because there is still plenty of time that I can get things done. I wrote a post earlier in the month about how NaBloPoMo was kinda like managing your diabetes. I still feel that way, and I feel that I accomplished this, I can continue to accomplish managing my diabetes. If posting once a day is all it takes, than managing my diabetes one day at a time will lower my A1C. I can set a goal to lower my A1C to a manageable level, then I can win. My goal is to lower my A1C one tenth (at least) every 3 months. It does me no good to go from a 7.1 now to a 5.5 in 3 months and back up to 7.2 three months after that. It will do me good however to go from 7.1, 6.9, 6.7, 6.6, and continue this path every 3 months until I am consistently under 6.0, which is what my ultimate goal for 2010 is.
I have taken about a week off in being on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn, sort of what you may call slacking. I haven’t answered many e-mails in the past few days, so I am taking today to catch up on all of that. So if you are one of the ones I haven’t answered back to, sorry. I am also going to work on my Contour USB review. I went through all 25 strips, but haven’t hooked it up to the computer yet. It sucks that I am out of strips already, and I still have like 20 boxes of Freestyle Lite, so I’m not going to buy more Contour’s until my Freestyle’s are used up.
Have a great Monday everybody.
