Regimented

Friday before leaving work for the weekend I was asked by a coworker what I had planned for the weekend.  I responded "I plan on being up around 7, running by 8 , then having dinner around 6 and going out with friends around 8 that evening."  I was then asked "Do you schedule when you go to the bathroom?"

Everyone had a good laugh but that comment stuck with me most of the weekend.  I often joke that I'm OCD, probably not the best thing to joke about but I have definite OCD tendencies.  How and when did I become such a scheduled person?  I honestly believe it happened when I got control of my diabetes.  If you ask Leanne what I'm doing at 5:45 every morning the answer is simple, I'm flipping between Quick Pitch on MLB network or watching the local news while eating eggs or a bowl of cereal.  If you ask the guys at work what I'm doing at 11:30 everyday again the answer is simple.  I'm testing my blood sugar and have an apple, almonds, a sandwich and a fiber one bar next to me. 

Honestly it bothers me a little bit that my life is so regimented but I wouldn't change it.  My life is so scheduled because I look at my life and body like a machine, you change your oil every three thousand miles so why should I push my body to extremes.  I know that if I don't eat dinner around 6pm that it messes up my blood sugar and how I feel physically and mentally. 

Being so regimented has helped me tremendously as a diabetic, a coach, at my job and as a person.  I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my day planned out, if you want a good laugh steal my alarm clock and laugh like crazy when I go nuts if I wake up late.  I can laugh as I type that but I'm honestly scared of how I would be.
