I've been noticing problems lately.  Little things, not immediately obvious to others, but I notice cause I'm looking for it.

1) I'm constantly thirsty.  I probably need to drink way more water.  Blech.
2) I'm constantly in the bathroom.  I swear, I pee more than I drink.
3) I feel ill.  Often.  It's nothing major, just minor nausea.  Worse in morning.  Really really bad if I eat carbs at dinner.

All these lead me to believe I need to watch my carbs better.  Or drink more water.  Probably both.

I also had a chat with a friend Saturday night.  He's diabetic, and knows I struggle.  He got me to admit that the problem is really that I haven't been as careful as I should be.  I KNOW it takes diet watching to keep the sugars under control.  I just, damnit, WANT the ice cream and the baked potato, and it makes me angry that I can't have it.

Yes, I can have a little bit.  No, I don't seem to be able to stop.

So, with that talk under my belt, and being forced to admit, out loud, that I'm screwing up, I've been trying to be better.

Yesterday, breakfast was 2 eggs, scrambled. Yay for jason getting up and making me food.

Lunch, I had mixed greens with some ranch and some stroganoff.  Extra meaty, low noodly stroganoff.  Jason and I make it specifically to be carb-friendly.

Dinner, I had a single jalapeno cheddar sausage (230cal, 3carb), and a salad.  A plateful of salad.  Mixed greens, a bit of pepperjack, some ranch, a bunch of tomato and onion.  And a single sweet pickle.  NOM.

Was it the best calorie-day?  No.  Was it the best carb-day?  No.  The stroganoff, while sticking to low-carb ideals was probably still too high.  I drank my usual morning coffee (half-caf drip, sf toranis), then water for the rest of the day.

Today tho?  I felt way better this morning.  Win.

Today, I had a yogurt for breakfast.  Yoplait lights are yummy.  I had boston cream pie.  It was good. Then for lunch I had mixed greens with some ranch. Also yummy.  I want it known that I'm having a good day so far, food wise.  And this is with waking up with a migraine (missed 2 hours of work killing it) and then having my period start WHILE i was at work.  Today is TRYING to kick my ass.  I'm not letting it.

I've had my morning coffee, and have a single diet soda for this afternoon.  Then water for tonight.

It's a start.

Edit: Continued  with the water throughout the evening.  Dinner was half a steak and a salad.
