196.6 (8am)

Yesterday was the first day that I had a 100% logged on track day in I can't remember how long. Today will be tough I am sure. I am just so happy to see sub200 on the scale again. I was starting to get really freaked out. I must have seen over 200 on the scale for like 2 weeks straight and would start each day with the best intentions and then blow it by the time evening had come. It's going to be rough turning back into a fat burning machine instead of a carb burning machine. When insulin in chronically high, it's almost as if you are addicted. I FINALLY realize though, that high insulin levels all day just mean you are ALWAYS running around in a energy deprived state. The ONLY time you are not energy deprived is during the 20-30 minutes immediately following eating a bunch of carbs. Unfortunately, the body has to quickly get that blood sugar out of the system (to prevent high blood sugar) and only 20-30 minutes later, you don't have enough energy to run on. It is quite the vicious cycle.
