Is it just laziness? Lack of planning – causing runs to the vending machines through the day? Unpolished and unpracticed carb counting by eyeball? Falling victim to the clever marketing schemes that have me addicted to things like Diet Coke & Peanut M&M’s? Combination of all of these things? Who knows.

I think for many of us, we know the truth, but may not be willing to face the truth. I think this is certainly the case for me in looking at my (lack of) “Nutritional Habits”.

The challenge comes in putting those ideas into practice in your everyday life.

Very quick post -

I tested my blood sugar at 11:11 am and it was 111.
