some days, you should just stay in bed

gayathriI've been having terrible nightmares and having a ton of trouble sleeping.
This holiday season in particular, I'm having a _ton_ of trouble dealing with the Holiday Sugar Craze. As I'm continuing this journey on maintaining good blood sugar control, overindulging is now even more obvious in the immediate - high blood sugars make me feel like _crap_ and trigger lows that make me feel worse.
I know people are trying to be nice and generous during this time, but I really really do not want to go down into the kitchen at work, and am happy I'm avoiding being in the office today as its apparently "Cake Day" - already, gingerbread cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, various chocolate cakes are being advertised on the local office mailing list. I love gingerbread. LOVE it. :(
I dont know why in particular its so difficult this year, but I just wanted to note it to comment to myself.
(Results from the doc are in, my internal estimates were correct, just a boot to the ass to get myself in gear again regarding being consistent about exercise.)
Upcoming: starting to keep a food log, keeping up on the exercise log and bg logs - looking back at my bg / exercise logs, I can see where I'm falling off, and the correlation between the two.
