sienamysticThe gym so far is working out well, despite the nonstop blizzards keeping us from going that first week as often as we wanted. And according to the scale, I've dropped three pounds, so that's a nice thing to have happened.
It's a lot harder to stick to the diet on the weekends. It's actually been pretty easy to do it on the weekdays, at least so far, but the weekends are definitely full of more temptations. I can sort of ritualize it, if that makes sense, and thus it's not something I have to spend much time thinking about. On the weekends, my schedule is really loose, and I find myself getting tempted a bit more. Thank god for Skinny Cow - that shit is good, and it's low-cal.
I have noticed one odd thing. Over two different days, about the same quantity and similar type of pizza caused me no problems in my blood glucose one day, and a definite spike another day. One was a store-bought frozen pizza, one was from a restaurant, both thin-crust. I ate two pieces (technically three of the restaurant pizza, but it was one of those tiny personal dealies, and strictly speaking may even have been less than two pieces of a normal pizza) with similar toppings, and got vastly dissimilar results. Will have to continue to work this thing out. I don't think I exercised more on one day than the other.
