March 5, 2007 — Just 4 Today

Just 4 Today logoJust 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (once so far), test my blood sugar at least once after every meal (I’ve done my early morning test & I’ll do it again right before I leave for work), drink 2 liters of water (about 1/3), walk 3 miles (3415!!), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

I mentioned below, in Catching Up, that I went to Topeka to see President Clinton. The occasion was the Kansas Democratic Party’s Washington Day Weekend. Their annual organizational/fundraising/social extravaganza. So I spent most of the weekend in a hotel that was filled with hospitality rooms.

There were rooms with desserts, rooms with ice cream and rooms with buffet dinners (you wouldn’t believe the spread one of the county organizations produced — I should have taken a photo — temptation was everywhere. But somehow, I got through it with all goals pretty much intact.

Still, it threw me off — I didn’t post here; I was on my feet for hours at a time, but I didn’t really walk; I didn’t drink water (there just wasn’t much water around, except in the fountain;) and I didn’t test my blood sugar (I think the fried crab cakes might have been a little too much — but I’ll never know for sure) and I don’t think I took my fiber supplement between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon (I might have taken it Saturday evening — but it’s a blur)
Anyway — that’s all behind me now! And I’m thrilled that I’m already back in my routine.

What are you going to do today?
