Last year, one of my constants on my resolution chart each month was to record my blood sugar and what I ate (the good, the bad, and the ugly lol). I inadvertently left it off the list of 2020 resolutions I wanted to keep up with this year on my January list. When I realized, I thought, “Well, I’ve done it for a year, it should be pretty ingrained”. Um, WRONG! What I found out was that when I wasn’t checking myself every day to make sure I was writing it down, it didn’t always get done. I still checked my blood sugar consistently, but I forgot to write it down several times. And I missed entire days on writing down food. So back on the list it goes for February!
This made me think of Gretchen Rubin’s “strategy of monitoring” and how she talks about that you manage what you monitor. So obviously, I need to keep monitoring myself each day to be sure I am recording my food and blood sugar readings. Just writing the food down tends to help me make better choices and writing the blood sugar down helps me see trends.
