This is Out of Control.

Let's be honest.  I'm worried.  I left Columbus yesterday (haven't seen Paige since Monday night's small group personal training class, which was only 4 days ago) and just read Paige's last two blog posts. (I'm typing this on my iPhone so pardon any typos to come!). We are just 1 week away from the 3 month mark on our journey, and its not going so hot, apparently. If not for Paige's complete honesty in her posts, I don't think I'd ever know the truth behind what she's eating.  Her last two posts were filled with things that a diabetic, or rather any human being, should never eat! Coke, fried chicken, buttery casseroles, bottles of wine, cakes, desserts, etc.  no wonder she's up almost 5 pounds from what she lost.

Folks, that is how you yo-yo. It's also how you kill your body from the inside.  We had planned on having Paige do a 3 month check up with her doctor, and I feel like it would go terribly wrong if she went right now.  One month of healthy eating, followed by two months of not so healthy eating, will not heal the body.   In my ideal mind, I believed that if Paige followed the plan, she'd go to the three month check in, and her numbers would be all in the healthy range. But no ones perfect.  This will just take more time.

It's time to bet back on track. Doing another full cleanse would be way too soon. Generally they should be no sooner than 6 months apart. But we've got to do something. This is out of control!  I'm praying that in our 4th month together on this journey, Paige will combine the efforts of exercise and healthy clean eating.  Paige, remember how you got here in the first place. Those behaviors are not how to get out of it.
