Life Update: Race Recap, Blood Sugar Update & Coming Soon
It’s been a while. This Life Update will include where my training has been, race recap, blood sugar update, and future of this site! Summary. I need to get it together! We have officially made it back to the south and I couldn’t be more excited! The power of sunshine is amazing! Race Recap (Written back in November) First off the race was at the beginning of November. This is a very late race recap, but I wrote most of it right after the race and I want to document it so I have it to look back on. I went into the race to have a good time and…

Operation Regulate Blood Sugar.
I haven’t been feeling like myself for a while now. I have slowly made diet changes and exercises changes but nothing seemed to be working. I thought maybe it was a mix of anxiety, depression, and stress. Since my diet tweaks and exercise routine didn’t seem to be helping I knew something else was probably up.

It was also high. My reaction. Ugh! I woke up this morning and tested. High again. After researching…
