It's a Challenge of Habits!

For me it's way more about my habits than my nutrition!

*wrapping up Day 3*

As today progressed, I've took note of a few things as they presented themselves. I got out of bed, visited with Heavenly Father, and went to the kitchen with the thought in mind of, "what should I cook for breakfast today?" Habit has been -- out of bed, cook breakfast.  It's not like I was starving. It's just the habit. 

Instead, I assembled the juicer, collected the components, and went about other morning things before juicing.....turn on my computer (since my office is here also) and got ready for the day. I checked a few Internet places, and THEN returned to my juicing adventure. When you shake things up, change the dance steps, habits start changing!

I enjoyed juicing today's portion, cleaned up the juicer, and then enjoyed about 20 ounces of delicious "green" juice (I went a little heavy on carrots as a stretcher). I had increased the ginger and garlic, and may need to again next batch.

Come 12:30 pm I consumed about 12 ounces of my juice, along with a helping of pasta, some sunflower kernels, and two fresh carrots. I didn't run out of steam through the day. 

I needed to run some errands for family, and myself. As 

I mentioned yesterday, I needed to purchase a new glucose monitor , which I did (and forgot until just now to check blood pressure while at the pharmacy).  I had a few morning distractions today and forgot to take my meds this morning. Yet at 5 pm today, my blood glucose level, albeit a little high, would have made my doctor smile.

Back to habits -- I needed fuel for my vehicle. Fuel is sold in C Stores. C Stores sell soda. As I walked into the Maverik store to prepay my fuel purchase, even without my refill cup in hand, I found myself at the fountain before I turned and walked back to the cashier (without a soda!) Not that I was even craving a Diet Dr. Pepper! I went there for gas, it's the stupid habit.

I will end my consumption today with my evening juice and maybe sit back and watch a movie.

By the way, I checked my blood sugar 30 minutes after my evening juice and it was lower than earlier!

~Have a restful night!~
