Day 19: Cutting Myself Some Slack

I Have Come to the Realization That I Can Be a Bit Hard on Myself.  

I want to accomplish a lot.  Exercising daily and eating the right foods take focus and planning.  On top of that there is the house, kids and transitioning careers.  
Being the person in charge of all of the major (and minor) decisions in the house in itself is a lot, but when you throw all of  life's other responsibilities in there it's impossible not to be overwhelmed.  And when I feel like I've failed at something  it has become a trigger for me to stuff my face.
So, I have decided to pick one goal to focus on right now.  Lowering my blood sugar by avoiding processed foods.  The exercise, the clean house, the writing, everything else is important, but if I don't get my blood sugar under control I won't have the energy and clarity of thought to do the rest.  
It will all fall into place but if I miss a day of exercise, cleaning, or writing I am not going to beat myself up.  And if I feel like a failure  (because that will happen at some point) I can choose to take a walk, clean in the garage or work in the yard until the urge to stuff my face passes! 

Blood Sugar Update
Today it's at 300.  Not great but I have been seeing a steady decrease daily with the limited processed foods.  So, moving in the right direction. Yay!
