Givin it the ol college try again!

So here we are, in front of the computer trying to be a consistent blogger….again. I’ve tried to be a good blogger before, but have failed miserably. I got all excited about it, spruced up the website, played with the fonts to see how it looks, and even looked up definitions to words that I use often so that I sound smarte.

 

I did well for a while, but then I missed an entry, then another, then another. And before you know it it’s May and I hadn’t written since. I got embarrassed and frustrated at the same time, and before you know it I started denying I ever had a blog. It would be shameful only if it was the first time, but it wasn’t…..I’m a yo-yo blogger.

 

Wow, am I talking about my blog or am I talking about my diabetes management?    

 

Not much difference I guess. It can happen with managing my diabetes that sometimes I get in a rut and can’t seem to get out. Things can go well for a while but life gets in the way (that darn ol life) and my diabetes takes a backseat. Then it becomes hard to get going again, I think about all I have not done, and I get depressed about even trying again.

 

But the really great thing about both (diabetes and writing) is that you can always start over. Forget about the past, today is a new day. I can saddle up the computer to write an entry, and I can get out my BG meter, check and start keeping tabs on what I’m eating.

 

So that’s what I’m going to do. Start writing and start checking. So what about you? In a rut with your diabetes? Don’t beat yourself up about it, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and go check your BG.
