Sometime in November, I stopped sleeping. As a result, I couldn’t control my eating at all, and then I stopped being able to work out. About all I could do, was to control my blood sugar, but my insulin usage spiked up to around 100 units a day. As a result, I regained some of the weight I lost, and was just miserable.
My carb ratio went back to around 1:8, all the gains I had made were lost.
It’s taken weeks to recover from that.
I had to get the sleep under control first. I then could start doing strength and cardio, but had to really break up the sessions to even get them done. However, I still wasn’t losing weight. I was maintaining, but not losing.
Well, over this break, I’ve managed to get it just about back. My insulin usage is back down to under 40 units a day, and my blood sugar has been extremely stable. In fact, it’s been in the 90’s fasting, and staying pretty flat. I’ve had to do a few almost carb free days to get there, but that’s okay.
I still haven’t lost all the weight I gained, but I’m getting there.
