woohoo, go sabotai! nice to have some company in here again
The last two weeks haven't been very good for me from any perspective, and stress and a lack of sleep have definitely impacted my eating habits. I overslept last Saturday and didn't get to go to the Dr for a weigh in, which is why I missed a week updating here. Today was my one month checkup w/ the Dr, and i have lost a little weight in the last two weeks, which surprised me.
I had a good visit with the doctor, who adjusted my meds a little and we talked about the importance of a good night's sleep, he's been pushing me to get a sleep study done to see if I have sleep apnea. I need to get that done, for now i am just not sleeping enough straight out, but I may not be getting quality sleep when I am sleeping, my dad has sleep apnea and there is no reason to allow it to continue if I do have it, so I'm going to try to get that set up sometime soon.
I also met with the nutritionist at this office for the first time today to go over where i've been struggling w/ the diet and how i can adjust things. One thing she told me that was interesting to me is that since i have high blood sugar and borderline(if not already) diabetes, that I should definitely be eating fruit, but not eating more than recommended on the diet plan they have(basically eating 2 pieces of fruit a day), and not eating fruit as a snack by itself, to always eat it as part of a snack/meal with some protein so I'm not just feeding myself sugar, even if its the good sugar in fruits. The appetite suppressant dosage was increased a bit b/c i told them that if I am not very diligent about eating my snacks in the morning I get *very* hungry by lunchtime. I really need to do a better job of spacing out my meals better, but if the appetite suppressants are working properly my body should be a little more forgiving than has been lately.
