And Then There's Guilt

Why can’t I get up anymore? Ok, maybe an exaggeration, but really…..Wednesday was another one of those days. Slept right through that alarm. So the guilt set in immediately, but not enough to get me there after work. So this morning the guilt was still there and magnified. I didn’t have to start work until 10AM so I had the time to do a 2fer. I squeezed in a 45 min. run and a 1:10 min. swim. It felt good. It always does, and you’d think I’d remember that when I hit the snooze button a million times. The blood sugars were good the whole time, except for the 175 I woke up with. I ate only 10gm and bolused .4units. I figured that with 2 workouts that I didn’t need much. After the 45 min treadmill run I was at 128. Heart rate was a little high, probably from being a little tired, but all in all a pretty good run. Just…you guessed it…boring. I HAVE to remember to put some new music on the Ipod. Let’s dive into my brain a little bit……maybe the boredom is keeping me in bed. Do ya think????
Now it’s 6:30AM and I’m in the pool. There is only one other guy in there and he’s Mr. Splashy. With only 3 lanes for lap swimming I have no choice but to be next to him. Doesn’t he know I have a blood sugar meter that can’t get wet?? Geezzz….the nerve! I also brought some G2 (Gatorade, new low calorie/carb version), and water. I was wondering what the bg’s would do this morning, so I’m prepared…but then again, when am I not. About half way through I was in the 100 range, so I sipped on some of the G2…and by the end I was the same. NICE! The swim was not particularly tough. I picked this one specifically because of the 2fer I was doing.

I got a nice greeting from the dogs when I got home. My old man Casey actually heard me come in. Miracles will never cease! They watched me make my breakfast in the usual fashion….nose to the ground waiting for food to fall. I checked my blood sugar and I’m back to the 175 I had when I woke up. G2? Pump off for 1:10 min.? I even gave my routine bolus of the basal I lost when I got out of the pool…but…whatever…I knew it would correct itself when I bolus for breakfast. That it did.
