Both capital and debt compound, in the same way both good and bad decisions also compound. Apparently Einstein said of compounding “He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it” and Jesus said “Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.” Seems to be a principle in large, not just finances.
Stayed up till 3am Saturday watching boxing, of course with babies in the house that means I get no chance to catch up sleep, also ate some treats on the night. Next day sleep deprived me drags around all day feeling tired and demotivated, and with less stable blood sugar levels probably knocking on and making me feel particularly low energy, more poor food choices were made last night.
Result - morning BG of 5.7 (prediabetic). Not the end of the world and only a temporary number, but just an interesting observation of the impact of seemingly small choices, snowballing - easy to see how it ends up becoming a lifestyle. That’s not to say I regret watching the boxing, and I’ll do again next month, but maybe I’ll pre-prep some meals for the next day, and have some nuts around to snack on for the evening.
This morning I figured I didn’t need any more glucose in floating round the system, so opted for 10 eggs and some cheese for breakfast, the cheese made eating the eggs easier to start with (cos cheese tastes awesome) then harder at the end (because when your stomach is full melted greasy cheese isn’t quite so appetising).
