The War On Carbs

For the last month and a half I have kept my carb intake to less than 40 grams a day. My control has been much improved. 

Using my Dexcom CGM along with my pump, has made things a lot easier. I have been using square wave bolusing because of the amount of fat I have been eating. Coconut oil is my new best friend.

Performance wise, things are going well. I am back to programming for myself. I thought I wouldn't have enough energy to train without the carbs, but that hasn't been the case. Since my numbers have been more regulated, I feel pretty good day in and day out. 

I have no idea what my next athletic endevour will be. For the last month, I have been lifting and doing short spurts of conditioning. I still have an itch to compete in strength sports. I am leaning more towards strongman than anything else. I wouldn't mind a little CrossFit comp if it is heavier and shorter.

Competing is double edged sword sometimes. I miss it and am not aiming towards any goal. It's been refreshing not thinking about competing in anything the last two months. The time spent with my family has been wonderful. 

This Friday I will be doing blood work for a doctor's appointment in a few weeks. I believe I am on track for an A1C in the 6s. The war on carbs will help me see better control.
