Night of Final Four

As I am watching the Final Four, I am thinking about the 90 day start to a new journey for me. Exposing my weaknesses to the world and holding myself accountable to the expectations I have set. My nutritional goals are to cut bread, pasta and as much sugar out of my diet as much as possible. I say that only because being a Type 1 diabetic, I get "low blood sugar" reactions which cause me to have to eat something that will raise my blood sugar up to normal as quickly as possible. I also am going to have to cut my caloric intake each meal. This is difficult because changing the amount of food I eat changes the amount of insulin I take. Medication changes require an adjustment period I will have to deal with along the way. This blog is going to take quite a bit of effort and I am looking forward to going through this... not  around, above, below or not facing it at all. With the help and support from the community at CFB, I will get through this with a smile and plenty of sweat along the way.
