So I am finding out that exercise at night is key for my morning numbers. UGH. I hate it when exercise is the answer! Eating different is bad enough, but exercise?!

Yesterday I had a harder time keeping my sugars down and tested 235 two hours after breakfast and this morning I tested 244 and I have not exercised the last two nights. So, I guess I will be exercising tonight. I don't have such an issue keeping my sugars down when I start out in range and so I don't think I will have to exercise twice a day, but I think I do need to exercise in the evening for sure.

Yesterday it dawned on me that the reason I have been feeling dizzy is that because my sugars are down, my eye sight has changed and so my prescription was now too strong. I fortunately kept my old glasses and I am wearing them today to see what happens. My eyes started to really hurt yesterday and that's when I realized. I have already used my 1 year eye appointment with my insurance and so I have made an appointment with America's Best so that I can get some new glasses. I will try not to walk out paying $200 like I have before. But if my old glasses are fine today, I may cancel the appointment.

I am going to try and make today a good one with food. I did well yesterday until dinner. We ate at IKEA because we had a visit with my step-son. I had 1/2 of a panini sandwich and some meat balls and water. My husband then "surprised" me with a chocolate candy bar. I turned around and gave 1/3 of it to him, 1/3 of it to my step-son, 1/2 of what was left to my daughter and then ate the rest. Then, my husband needed a treat to take to work today and so we went to Schmidt's Bakery and while there I broke down and got that sugar cookie that I passed up on Wednesday and a piece of baklava. I am mad at myself for not staying strong, but I am moving on.

Here's to another day! :)
