Heading into Monday after a good weekend under my belt. Generally it's the other way around, I do well during the day and fall apart on the weekend.
Made a sheppards pie with carbquik yesterday. Very low carb content. I am still finding it difficult to wrap my head around eating "rich" food. Heavy cream mixed with the carbquick and eggs and ground beef. Mind you it was a small amount of cream that was used, but still.... I've spent the last 6 years cutting back on anything that I deemed to be NOT healthy. The thing is that didn't work for me, so for now I am keeping an open mind. I went grocery shopping yesterday and had no desire to pick up a bag of doritos.... also a first for me in the last 6 years.
I must say I have been sugar free for 2 days now and feel really great about that. I think I have finally given into the fact the sugar is my crack, There is no place for it in my life,
Ok, My goal for today is to try and manage my stress today at work and make sure that it is not managed with food. I also need to ensure I drink water. Need to continue to flush my kidneys with water before going back to the Dr.in January. On that note, I am hoping that my trainers explanation with regard to the kidney test is accurate. A blood test looks for creatinine (sp) levels to test for kidney function, the higher the level, the less your kidneys are functioning. My trainer has been pushing my hard with the weights in the last few months. Heavy weights, and lots of sets. Generally more muscle mass causes your creatinine level to increase in your system. I am hoping this explains my increased levels. My Dr. (or anyone else) would never suspect by looking at me that I am lifting this kind of weight. i did mention working out but again I'm sure she would never have imagined that my muscle mass would be elevated to a point that my creatinine level would be so high. Anyway, not going to worry too much about this, if I need to go to a kidney specialist to check into this further, then so be it.....
