I finally got some labwork done. My metabolic numbers are improving. I need to go back to get my a1c checked… but from my daily numbers off my CGM, I’m pretty sure that my current diet/exercise/med routine is doing the job it is supposed to be doing.
The nutrition plan that my trainer and I put together is pretty good. For the most part, I cook at home and actually like eating the leftovers for lunch when I’m at work.
Strength training is good, too… but my recovery time is longer, so I’m not getting in as many sessions as I would like, and my spin classes are not as frequent as I’d want either… but we’ll get there.
Mentally, I’m doing pretty well. I am in a good place. I know what I bring to the table. I know what I’m capable of. I am respecting my physical and emotional boundaries.
Emotionally/Socially is a work in progress. I’m really busy at work (6 day work weeks). My work people are not the ones I hang out with. Right now, they are about the only ones I see. So, I either need to start connecting with them beyond work topics, or I need to create space for other connections despite my busy work life.
The world outside my front door is scary with the things happening on the state and federal level in this country. But, no person defines my worth but me. I worked my ass off to be in the rooms that I’m in, and I’ll be damned if anyone tries to push me out before I reach my potential.
