I just said the other day that I would not make New Year's resolutions this year. But I find myself thinking about them a lot yesterday and today.
I think some of it is caused by the holidays ending and needing a psychological substitute. I know for me, cleaning up the mess and packing away the holiday decorations leaves the house feeling like a clean slate. (READ MORE)

Blah, blah, blah, here she goes again, pissing and moaning about logging.

Back when the year was shiny and new, as opposed to snow-covered and grubby (and enough with the snow already, ok? I'm SICK of it. Sick.) I resolved to be more diligent about logging Olivia's blood sugars. And for a few weeks I was. And then I forgot for a couple of days. And then it was Thursday and I thought, well, I'll just start over on Monday. And I forgot again.

I've logged in fits and starts over the last 2 months, but mostly, I haven't logged at all. And now she has an endo appointment tomorrow and I'm not going to have that much information to give her and I'm pissed at myself.

I just don't know how to make myself log. I forget. And if I'm forgetting to log, how am I supposed to teach Olivia? I'm not setting a good example at all and they always tell you (who are they anyway?) that you should lead by example when it comes to your kids.

I have been conspicuously absent from these pages for a month now. My in-laws were staying with us for 2 weeks, but my writer's block started before their visit.
I just haven't had much to say. I have not followed through on my possible New Year's resolutions very well. I'm tired of posting my failures here. I will say that my exercise has picked up a bit from the past few months, but it's barely discernable.
My mother-in-law also has type 2 diabetes controlled by metformin. We were both "good" during her visit - which means no fancy desserts and minimal refined carbs. So no excitement there to report.
I haven't been testing my blood regularly. I know that's a diabetic sin, but thanks to last year's weight loss, my numbers have really come down which is a good thing, but makes testing 2x a day rather boring. (READ MORE)

I don't normally make New Year's resolutions, finding them to be just another way to make myself feel guilty about things. And I can do that well enough without adding a list to the mix.

But this year, I have resolved to get more on top of tracking Olivia's blood sugars. I tend to slip about it. I'm great for a week or two and then I let it slide. I forget to ask for her meter for a couple of days and then I think "Oh, well, I'll start over on Monday." But I don't. I forget. (do you sense a theme here?)

This forgetfulness thing is kind of new with me. I'm fairly sure it's because I don't get enough sleep. My youngest daughter - 17 months old - still isn't sleeping thru the night and I'm up 2 or 3 times with her, which plays havoc with my sleep patterns. It can't possibly be because I'm getting old. *ahem*

Per usual, I'm tardy.
Resolution #1 in the New Year: I shall try to be more timely.
Actually, I'm not making any resolutions this year. I think I've turned a corner in terms of resolving to lose weight, exercise, eat right, and relax - then not doing any of it. The difference for me in 2007 was that I promised to do nothing - and I did most of the things I would have promised to do if I'd made resolutions.
Go figure.
At the close of December, the year found me down 30 lbs, exercising more and with more vigor than I have since my teens, eating right and enjoying it, in a new - more satisfying - job, getting paid to write (how exciting!). Numbers-wise, I finished the year with an average A1C of 5.7% and my cholesterol levels much lower. (READ MORE)

It's hard to believe that we are already a week into the New Year. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything for being one week closer to 2010. I finally made my resolutions last night, but haven't taken any steps to obtaining them. Despite my laziness, here they are:

 

1) Exercise more: I'm starting out with walking/jogging two days a week, specifically Mondays and Wednesdays since things are slower paced then. I want to build up to three, four, and five times a week, but I don't want to overload myself.

At the end of every year I take some time to look back and kind of analyze the year’s past.

2008 was filled with lots of down times. Sure there were things to celebrate but big things, like losing my home, overshadowed my son’s high school band performance at Angel Stadium. I feel awful just thinking that something so material like a home could get in the way of such an exciting memory that my son will have forever.

It’s my fault.

Yes, losing my house was a major cause for my depression and with it, all of the things that went along with it. Having to find a place, move, and tell others the whole story. Trying to make a new place a new home after the one you had been in for over a decade was gone. All big stuff.

Blog post title courtesy of my dad, circa 1987.

 

It has been a busy couple of months for me.  So much happening.  

 

In diabetes news:

I did get my new Deltec Cozmo, without having to pay an arm and a leg in early December.  

 

I actually got the cool software that uploads and downloads information from pump to computer to work on my PC, therefore saving myself HOURS of set-up time.

 

I survived the holidays with an average bloodsugar on my meter of 133 mg/dl and no severe lows or astronomical highs.  I ate too much and didn't go to the gym, but still only gained 1/2 pound.  How did that happen?

My family sat down for dinner last night and I was feeling frantic and stressed and generally not in a good place. My fasting sugars have been a little high and I'm sure my post-lunch have been too, with all the goodies available at work.
The tragic Colorado church shootings took place Sunday just a few miles from my home. My 4 year old has questions I don't know how to answer.
This is crush week for us for the holidays. If it's not shipped or mailed by Friday, it very likely won't make it in time. 95% of our friends and family don't live in this state so I have to be done this week.
Halfway through dinner, the 5 month old started crying. Not a light fussing, but an full-on screaming crying -- something was DEFINITELY wrong with her. Kate does not do this very often. It ratchets up my stress level immediately. I feel SO bad for her and guilty (of course) that I may have done something to cause it. And there's the worry that something is seriously wrong.
