Agility Wrap Up
August 15, 2009
So I survived my first day of my "week from hell". Even made it by Office Depot for teacher appreciation day. We have one close to the house, really like the manager and it means a lot of him if I come by.
From a diabetes standpoint, I did really well. At one point, long before we ran I was at 191, but then remembered that I usually ran agility at 50% higher than my normal weekend rate, so did that.
Rest of the day had nice low blood sugars but also did protein most of the day -- though I'll admit to a McD Mocha for the caffeine intact on the way in. I'm officially addicted, but it's better for me than diet coke.
Did well on food, I had one of my days where carbs made me think about throwing up, so had a bratwurst and egg for breakfast, corndog from the vendor for lunch, some KFC dark meat grilled chicken on my way home. Finally had my Diet Gourmet lunch for dinner. Doing on the total daily dose of insulin.
On the clothing front, I wore the exact same clothing -- top and skirt -- that I did a year ago. However, a year ago they were too small, and now they are approaching too big.
Neither of the beagles showed sign of stress -- they were running with me, and trying hard. Most of our problems had to do with handler confidence and some minor training issues -- Macy is still scared of the teeter -- and I think that will start going away after today.
I've very happy I entered and I am looking forward to the next three days of trials (tomorrow and next weekend). I am even thinking about seeing if I can move Maggie to Excellent with this trial.
