track everything I eat for a week

I’m going to merge this into a new overall health goal.

This is harder to keep up on a daily basis than I thought it would be. Busy schedules, running hither and yon.

I’m going to keep it an active goal until I have a full week’s worth of data; and just appreciate and applaud each day’s that I manage to get in.

After a lousy HA1C, a year ago, moving cos our lovely rental of six years in SF got sold for a cool $1.3million, and things, I spent most of the year discouraged about even paying attention to my diabetic self-care.
Enough of that nonsense!
I’m back in with a new doc in the new digs, have adjusted meds, am working with a diabetic education nurse where we’re adjusting when in the day I take the oral meds that keep me in balance – and am back into good numbers (finally!).
Part of being healthy despite this ongoing imbalance in the endocrines (or – more delicate balancing act of the endocrines shall we say?) is being self-aware. I’m not one to get overly obsessive (I think), but I can zoom in on things for bursts of highly focused attention: thus, I’ve found the latest serving of the USDA nutritional database, and a personal tracking system they’ve set up recently:

and have echoed a daily food tracking page and nutritional analysis page into a personal wiki I use and love:

and plan to track everything – and wrap that by one-week chunks, so as to not overwhelm myself. (There’s probably a rule on making goals in measurable steps, somewhere.)
