When I published my first post I really didn't expect anyone but my sister to read it. I have been completely overwhelmed with the amount of support I have received with comments on here, on facebook and private messages people have sent me.
On Wednesday after my appointment I tested my sugar before and after my evening meal and counted the carbohydrates in the meal. I can't remember the last time I did this. The readings were higher than they should be (10.5 before and 8.5 after) but I have to start somewhere (my blood sugar readings should be between 4 and 7).
Thursday morning the first thing I did was get on the computer and start writing this and reply to some more of the messages and comments I'd received. I did my blood test and it was 5.4 which is perfect!! I hope I can keep this feeling going as I really feel amazing.
I hope my posts aren't going to be too boring for you all but I feel I need to make a record of what I'm doing again for the accountability but also so I can look back and see what I've accomplished. I suppose I am going to use this blog a bit like a diary but I'm not going to commit to posting each day, I'll just see how it goes.
Later I am going to weigh myself and will publish what I weigh so I can keep track of my weight loss. The thought of people knowing how much I actually weigh is actually quite terrifying for me but again I can't measure progress if I don't know where I started from.
