Chicken and rice cakes???

So I went to the doctor on Friday for my 3 month check up.  My blood sugar A1c was up but all my other stats were excellent.  I gained 8 lbs since Feb.  if you know me you know I can not afford to gain even 8 ounces.  I thought I was going to get lectured about portions, drinking more water, eat more chicken, brown rice and rice cakes, and I DID.   I don't know if the doctor realizes how unrealistic that sounds.  I have waited all these years to be able to do what I want and to afford to go to dinner whenever I want, I know that it is selfish and detrimental to my health, but I am not eating dry chicken and rice cakes.  I will exercise more and be more careful with the snacks, I will get my A1c back down in the 6's and all will be right with the world.  Reality is a hard pill to swallow and I already take 7 pills every day. So at this time in my life I think I will do my best to take care and  to make myself happy.  I might take out the bike this weekend.  Or I might  not.  So who knew I could be so disobedient.
