Journal Entry with commentary 7/25/15

Today has been a crazy day.  I ended up consuming fewer calories than normal whenever whenever my blood sugar level falls.  In my family, we call it "my sugar falling".  It is not a pleasant thing to happen to a person, particularly if one is a diabetic.  I am okay now, but my intake of foods has been varied but not healthy.  However, not as healthy as it should be, it is healthier than usual.  I have been told that corn flakes is not as healthy as some cereals.  Maybe I should check out healthier cereals and other healthier foods.  I have been compiling a whole lot of food and a whole lot of guidelines and while helpful they have ironically hard to follow.  Maybe there are too many rules and regulations and that is why a meal plan, coupled with a rigid mindset have made it harder.
