Log Activity and Write Telemetry in Constructor

[MichaelStarks]

I have a State Machine object and would like to log the state telemetry and activity in the constructor. When I move the this->log_ACTIVITY_HI_STATE_CHANGE(); and this->tlmWrite_STATE(); to the constructor I fail the unit test that I have written. When I remove the portion of the unit test that checks the start-up state it passes, from this I assume the activity and telemetry are either not being logged or are being cleared. How should I setup setting the start-up state so that the information is logged?

Thank you
