Lat work day of the week... the poison ivy is making me nuts.. Got a few things to do around here this morning and then I am off to Lynns house.. we had to go to Shreveport yesterday that is always a nice trip and it means lunch at the Golden Corral ... YUM brussel sprouts ! and I ate plenty of them and some chicken tenders and one of those sliders without the bun..Then .. Oh then I had dessert... coconut tart I did not eat the crust but the ice cream well what can I say it is a weakness and about once a week or so I have a little.. or not so little thank goodness the bowls are small..Blood sugar at 3 was 93 now explain that to me ??? Cause I ate everything and was doing no exercise and then had to some home and cook some supper I was going to have to eat ? Started out yesterday with sugar of 110 and had a peanut butter fold over on pita bread. We got out of the doctors office over there about 9 30 and we found us a Kroger... does not sound like a big deal but believe me it is and we got Larry some of these fresh tortillas he loves.. and some of the wasabi sensation snack mix I had a handful of that before we went to lunch, and my sugar was 123 before the meal. I thought that was a little high but I had just eaten the snack mix.. Larry and I ate Falafel last night and some pita bread with a tomato and cucumber salad. And some spinach salad sort of a clean out the fridge a little meal. Got busy and forgot to test last night. Blood sugar this morning was 117 and they are telling on the news this morning that folks who blog or keep track of thier eating habits online loose more weight and are more likely to stick to a plan. because this keeps them thinking about the program all the time. Of course I have Lynn who is always a source of support in all of this. And the new doctor is great ! So now I need to drop my brother a note and tidy up around here a little... have a bath in lye soap and clorox then off to Lynns to see what we can get into there. Tune in again soon

Yesterday I ate spaghetti ! not very many of the noodles but enough to feel like I had some. Blood sugar 2 hours later was 93 so that was great ! chicken and broccoli alfredo. and a spinach salad. Blood sugar this morning was 107 out of test strips.. YIKES off to the bible study Im enjoying that. Then over to work at Richards. He is doing some better sounds better anyway. Says his blood sugars are leveling off. Ran into Lynn and Joey when I went to Wal Mart for supplies and we all had lunch together, that was very nice we ate mexican food. I had a lunch special chile reino  Love those and a taco with beans and a guacamole salad. A lot of food ! then there were some chips and guacamole while we were waiting. Mmmm I was a pig. Tried to control myself with the chips and did not eat the taco shell. But the beans were awesome..! Blood sugar at 2 was 127 which was pretty good considering what all I ate. And we had a strange sort of greek meal this evening some of the flat bread with hummus and grilled chicken. and a cucumber and tomato salad with dill and yogurt. Blood sugar was 76 at 8:30 so I made a mango and pineapple smoothie.. Smaller one than the cappacino. that was a nightmare. And I poured Larry the larger glass of it. Ha ha maybe that will help.. I rode the bike for a mile and a half this evening. And I mowed and worked in tehyard all day yesterday so I dont fel bad about not walking or riding... even if the doctor says that work is not exercise.  Going to Shreveport with Lynn in the morning so I am going to wrap this up she will be here at 6 her appointment is at 8 so we should maybe get home fairly early. That would be good. I can catch up on some things here. Sigh it just never ends
tune in again soon

Monday June 27 2011

So here we are... quiet Larry is off to work the doggies are sleeping I am taking a break from the yard work. Got the back done cleaned out the dog pen weedeated mowed the whole nine yards and took the clippers to the junk on the fence. Need to fill up my squirt bottle and spray it down again.. Kill all the poison ivy anyway. Or try to. I am dirty and wet.But have a sense of acomplishment. I can see where something got done. Now I have to clean the ditch though. Thats where I threw all the debris ha ha ha Blood sugar was 107 this morning.. it was 159 last night. we had one of those frozen capacino drinks.. With almond milk. well I did not read the mix very well it has 8 carbs per 2 tablespoons. i used 1/2 cup in the blender... now Larry drank half of it but it was clearly not so good for me. though it was only an hour or so when i tested. Who knows... Now ice cream.... 2 hours later it was 90 go figure ? Had a peanut butter fold over this morning. Have not been able to find my pita breads so had to eat a piece of whole wheat bread that is ok and it works but lacks the fiber content of the pita. And it has twice the carbs. So Ill keep looking. Need to go to Wal Mart anyway My left thumb has tendonitis now that sucks but not like the right hand. Mother is still in West Virginia having a great time from the sounds of it. She loves Dan's house and the mountains . Larry fixed the AC last night it was indeed not working the plug keeps working off of the compressor.. So he zip strapped it on ha ha ha the AC man was in Hot Springs bless him he told Larry what to look for and I talked him through the taking apart process. Since I had been watching when Danny did it I know how to take it a part. I could have fixed it but I could have gotten electrocuted as well...Larry was quick to point that out to me. Just so I dont think I can do stuff you know ?  Had one of those frozen cheeseburgers for lunch and a fudge bar, came in starving and did not have a pita so I just had a quickie ha ha I just wanted the cheeseburger ate most of the bread too but it is something I dont do very often. Planning on cooking spaghetti for supper cannot eat much of that but a little bit should be ok. With grilled chicken, brocolli and alfredo sauce... MMMMM been thinking about it since Larry cooked that chicken yesterday. Funny thing if he cooks a large amount of say chicken or fish then we can have a different meal later in the week. Or for lunches, works for me. So back to the grind for me talk again soon..

June 26 2011

Strange week have been busy not on the computer much at all. Think my family must have disowned me again have not heard from any of them in weeks.. The air conditioner went out last week. Alex has chewed a hole in his tail. It has been hot hot hot down here. Some how I dont think the AC is working now, it has gotten way hot in here and no real relief. the air is blowing but its not cooling off. So Im grumpy... hot and grumpy.

Tuesday June 21 2011

LONG day Blood sugar this morning was 102  Went to the Brave Woman Bible study 6:30 to 7:30 this morning. Had a good time it has been very very good for me doing this. And I am making friends at Church... At least I  will know some people now. Mother has gone to West Virginia with Dan. She is doing well and having a great time. Dan wrecked his truck this afternoon but she had stayed home. No one was hurt just buggered up his new truck. I drove Frans car to Shreveport this morning. Richard had a little blister on his toe when we mowed the yard Saturday and yesterday he was in the ER they wanted to admit him but he went to Houston... We met Charlis and Dewey over there. The did admit him and this is something called a diabetic ulcer.. ? I had never heard of these ?? So I am going to look it up Richard has almost no feeling in his feet and did not realize he was hurt until the dog was licking his foot. The ulcers come from the inside out ? Thats what I hear but as I said going to look it up. Dont know if he will get to keep his toe ? Or if he will be able to go to Hawaii they planned to leave on Sunday.  Rode back with Fran and we talked a lot about diabetes and I suggested they go to a diabetes education course. It would help her and he needs a refresher. He needs to check his sugar too, he has not been testing it at all. He just has to get with the program and take charge of taking care of himself. He is a great guy and we just love him. Hate to see him shorten his life just being lax in taking care of this. So this really reinforces the fact that I need to keep it up and take care of my sugar. Keep it under control. Scary scary stuff this is. .... Got home about 12:30 rained all morning that was wonderful all the plants are smiling and happy 50 % chance that there will be more rain tomorrow. That would be good too. Working for Ms Tommy in the morning. That is nice she is a very nice lady to work for. Blood sugar was 81 before lunch had some salad with chicken salad... Then I had to lay down felt rotten... woke up about 3 and ran to the store made us a meatloaf for supper and some squash and onions green beans and a garden salad. Larry had some potato salad with his. Then I made a blackberry crisp. That was really good. Blood sugar 2 hours after supper was 93 and we had a nice walk took Alex he was very happy about that poor little guy he is not feeling well has had to have the benedryl for a couple of days. So here I am sitting in front of the computer end of the day.. Talk again soon ! Keep Richard in your prayers !

Saturday night June 18th 2011

So do we ever understand diabetes ? I am not even getting a clue here.Blood sugar started out at 100 this morning. Had a pea nut butter fold over that works pretty good for me and Im lazy ! Dont want to fix anything else.. Cant eat eggs and bacon or sausage not in the morning. Not that early Yikes ! So the pita with peanut butter works, then Im ready to start the day. We went over and mowed Richards yard. Mother saw a box that I needed to put up so I begin to think my junk is in the way. Lord knows I have enough stuff all over the place here and it gets in my way and on my nerves and its not even my house. Then Larry is on my case Poor Richard he has to deal with us fussing. But we got it done and came home and I talked to Mother I got in the ants over there at Richards  I hate fire ants... had to take some benedryl.. So I am strung out fussing at everybody, feeling like I am falling short need to be punnished, cant seem to get anything done to suit anyone. And Larry wants to spend all his time away from me... I wonder why ? He went over and helped Dan and Wynne load thier truck up. I had a small bowl of crawfish Etoufe for lunch with the rice mixed in. It was there and I was hungry it was fixed and it was easier to go along with the crowd than try to fix anything else.  Blood sugar was 98 before lunch rode the bike for 2 miles Larry fixed the speedomoter on it so now it tells how many miles... thats cool.  Works for me anyway. To hot to do much of anything and it is all in an uproar around here. Not very condusive to getting anything done. Blood sugar before supper was 97 now here is the kick... I ate a peach about 6:30 had to take the meds. So Dan came in and wanted roast beef po boys thats great but all bread and potatoes after the rice at lunch I could not go a sandwich. So I had to go and pick these up. Ray's Pe Ge ' s and they have this ice cream.. It has honey in it.. The order is not ready yet so I will have to wait and I got a small cup of the ice cream.. Still more than a good diabetic should have but it was hot and I had a bad day.. And the temptation was to great. So I ate it while I waited.. and had most of it too... So when I got back i had taco salad without the chips and some broccoli... Mmmm and a couple of slices of pineapple what the hell if it is going to be high might as well do it right. I ate a couple of fries and a bite of Larry's sandwich.. I can live without em... for sure ! But a bite now and then is nice.. so We finnished eating a little after 8 I took the african mango ... at 9 45 my blood sugar is 68 ??? in what universe is this right ? SOmeone explain it to me ? I just do not understand !

Thursday June 16 2011

Blood sugar was 93 this morning... I went back to bed. Worn out stressed out and the air conditoner is leaking into Mothers bedroom. Larry and Dan worked on seeing if tehy could fix it until 1 in the morning. Lar got up and went to work this morning. He is worn out too, dont know how he does it. He will have to help Dan and Wynne this weekend get thier things packed into a uhaul. Maybe Ill go with him ? I donno not my stuff Wynne should go but she is not feeling well either. Maxey is crying and whining and yelping except when he is asleep. Alex is at Lynns house. Richard is coming back this afternoon so Max will go stay with him a few days. YIKES ! And of course Mother is tired not feeling well and then the worry of the AC well no one is feeling very spry. 

Wednesday June 15 2011

Yeee Ha let the fun begin. Blood sugar was 99 this morning. You know .... I get incredibly grumpy and moody and squally when my sugar gets low. Also when I dont sleep... And I have not for several days now had a good nights sleep. Have had a lovely visit with my sister in law and her husband. It has been very nice. We had a steak dinner last night no potato for me ha ha broccoli instead and a green salad. They are of this morning but the nephew is coming in. Dan and Wynne and the 2 big dogs. I need to take Alex to Lynns for a few days. Am suffering seperation anxiety. Hate to do this to him or to us for that matter. But he will be safe there. And I know Lynn will take good care of him. Mother has decided she will go back to West Virginia with Dan on Sunday I am excited that she is getting to go all the things to do and places to go and we know how I feel about West Virginia... Ahhhh But I hate to see her leave. Dont know what I will do with myself.  The carpets need cleaned though. Among other things.. So I am off to the Teague ranch.. Have a million errands to run today and for the next few days helping Mother get her things together and she has to have a goodie bag to take with her. You never make a trip like this without a goodie bag..You might starve otherwise :) Need to get meds refilled for all of us. Got to run... tune in again later for more great blood sugar adventures.. Oh and  I have been reading my friend Wanbli's blog.. He talks about hiding in the shadows and not being who you are. Thats scary being who you are. there have to be some filters. Or we as humans would not be socailly acceptable at all.

June 13 ,2011 Monday

Yeah Monday it has been a long weekend. Had crawfish Saturday it was nice and had etoufee Sunday I think it was better than the original crawfish. Church was nice. The preacher brought out this poor old almost dead tomato plant. So he goes on talking about being steadfast no matter what anyone tells you nay sayers if God gives you a dream a vision or a mission see it through. Dont let any one convince you otherwise. So needless to say the plant came home with me and I am hoping it will make it. It is in really bad shape. But the root system is strong. So we have had company. I can do nothing right Everything I say is wrong and if I said the sky was blue she would insist it was green. Hate it when its like this. Just keep your head down and your mouth shut. Thats what I tell myself. Mostly that works be a good servant, do what your told. Anyway back to the matter at hand. I think I am going to start taking the blood sugar readings only 3 times a day instead of 4 would make the strips last longer and I seem to be doing ok as far as the numbers go. Sundays high was at bedtime and it was 111 and today I started out at 102 and before lunch it was 101 I had a sugar free oatmeal. Then about 9 I had a peanut butter fold over pita.  I know that a person can do quite well without the bread without the sweets ect but do you want to live your life doing without ? The pita bread has 4 carbs per piece and it is easy to slap on some pea nut butter and be done. The sweets well you can live without them but its hot and I have been out working in the yard and a cold popscicle well who does that hurt ? Not me the numbers are still good. Well it has been a long day I am overwhelmed at the moment on the verge of tears and just need to log out of here and give myself a talking to ... Night all

June 10 2011

Well its Friday almost 11:00 p.m. late for me. Been on the go since early this morning. Im tired, and feeling weird. Charlis and Dewey got here about 8 and it is sort of a free for all catch up. Blood sugar was 108 this morning. Had a nice ride to Bonita to get corn. 60 ears, we left here a little after 7 and got home about noon. I had a waffle with pea nut butter for breakfast and had a glucerna mini about 9 We stopped and visited Mrs Clouarte it was nice to see her. Strange not having her live near by When we got home we had lunch I had some chicken and a salad, the some eggplant with pasta... I was starved ! Made the beds swept the floors ran the vacum. then we were off again. Bed Bath and Beyond had to have some Kuerig coffee then on to Sams for stuff.. Home again home again time for a nap I got a little one slept through Judge Judy.. ha ha then Mother and I were off again. To the tobacco store, Acadamy Sports, and Wal Mart... Got that all done whew .... Blood sugar when we came back was 98 I had a yogurt nad took my meds... Late... SO I know my sugar is going to be screwed up. We had a fish dinner about 8:30 I ate to much and to fast. Bad bad girl.. grilled fish green beans and cole slaw. had a couple of hush puppies, and a piece of the fried fish too. They give you so much of the fish you can never eat it all so Larry and I often share. I get grilled he gets fried and we trade. Blood sugar just now is 103 .. I am off of here like a dirty shirt and will talk later... Might be tough to blog this weekend.. Have to make sure and feed the nephews Farmville dog...

Thursday June 09 2011

And off to Lynns house, and had a yogurt activia dessert WOW it was good 20 carbs but  Oh my gosh it was delicious ! Then we had a little square of dark chocolate with almonds. It was nice too. Cooked all morning we made eggplant parmesan and we made pesto sauce and there was spaghetti squash and multi grain angel hair spaghetti and brussel sprouts. It is nice to go to Lynns always leave there feeling well fed. Not just the food but the comaradarie Joey came and ate with us. Thought he was going to hurt himself eating eggplant. Said it was the best meal he had in a long long time. They are plotting to keep me and chain me to the stove. Stopped at Ms Tommy's and picked up some corn it was lovely she gave us 18 ears and we called her tonight to tell her thank you, and see if she knew where we could buy some of this wonderful stuff. We will have to drive to Bonita just past Bastrop. And you can get 60 ears for 15 dollars. Plan is to go in the morning and if it is good we will get Lisa Barmore a bag too... They dont know that we have to deliver it. Ha ha ha I will spring that on them when we get there. Blood sugar was 107 before lunch and it was 129 an hour and a half later. Have not taken it tonight. We had a sandwich nad some corn for supper  I had 2 ears.. Yikes had to eat it... Soooo good but I rode the stationary bike. Larry fixed the speedometer yeah I can only every get it into the yellow maybe I can work up to more ? Maybe not but it does get the old heart rate up. We had a nice evening. Sitting here now blogging and drinking a hazelnut coffee. Big day tomorrow Charlis and Dewey will be here tomorrow night. They called and are excited we are boiling crawfish Saturday will have lots of pictures. :) Talk again soon !

Thursday morning. Yeah I know missed a couple of days it has been busy around here. The sugar numbers have been good and I have found that fresh fruit does not seem to hurt the numbers... Whho hooo Thats nice. Been having grapes and peaches pineapple and cherries. All of that is in season here and cheap ha ha ha  Blood sugar this morning was 102 Had a peanut butter fold over on pita bread. Just something quick so I can take the medicine. Had a waffle with peanut butter yesterday and a fold over peanut butter pita for lunch yesterday... Lazy uh huh peanut butter is to handy to have and I have not gotten in there and made any tuna or chicken salad. Been busy.. Monday I got the floors waxed, and washed the dog dog washing is a big job ! Tuesday I got the big vacum out and ran it all over. There is not much house work left to do before Charlis and Dewey come this weekend. And yesterday I did the yard work and cleaned the deck. clipped the shrubs weedeated mowed edged the whole she bang and it looks nice so thats all done. Cleaned up in the back yard where we have been living pretty much. And today I am going to go to Lynn's She said we needed to bead. I agree and we are going to cook eggplant. She has not had much experience with it and it is really good if you get the hang of it. Last night we had oven fried chicken the low carb kind.. The pork skins are ok. But I like mine with those french onions it was yummy and even Mother liked it. and that is saying something. I hear John Brown out there this morning... He is pecking away always a busy little bird ! Alex saw that squirrel yesterday he was trying to get him one of my tomatoes... And Alex did not like that a bit. It has been hot here triple digit heat and that makes you miserable no one wants to eat much so we have been having sandwiches. That is nice no cooking and no cleaning up. Just slice an onion and a tomato. Well I am going to get off of here and do a few things before I go.. Need to take a bath ha ha ha

6/6/11

Alex peed on the bathroom rug again so that is in the washer and Ill need to scrub the bathroom. What a bug ! Have a lot to catch up on it is Monday and have to clean up after the weekend, cannot do anything much with a man under your feet and if you try to do some things he has to butt in and do them his way. Have to make a trip to the Wal Mart need a few things around here, Will be working for Ms Tommy on Wednesday worked for her Friday and we got a lot done.. Found lots of bunnies in her house .. Dust bunnies. They like to hide behind the doors, and under the furniture. Plan to get the floors waxed this week.

June 4 2011

Independence day... No I am not a month off. It is a family holiday. A Larry and Amy holiday and he does not even remember ha ha ha funny huh ? Nope he does remember my bad. And we are going to work on the picnic table need to get the lumber and the hardware and we will have a nice big table to use in the back yard. This will make his Mother very happy and maybe when Charlis is here next we will all eat crawfish. Blood sugar was 103 this morning and I had a piece of sausage with a pita. Last night when the sugar was so low I had a fudge bar ha ha ha and more cherries they are  like the corn and only in season for a little while. Then I will be safe or the price will go back up and again I will be safe. Richard and I had a great long talk When I was there Thursday he is also diabetic dont know if I mentioned that. When we have our chats in the morning before I clean his house it is like we are family. I was telling him about some of the options that work for me. The pita bread and the low carb tortillas we had a great mexican casserole with those and it was wonderful. You dont feel like your missing out. And everyone ate it  did not have to be a case of fixing something else for them or for me. Still picking green beans and tomatoes and a few squash here and there. Loving my garden have room for a few more plants, need to go to the nursery maybe Larry's mom and I will do that one day next week. Or Ill look when we are at the home depot... Yeah maybe that will do it. Have room for a few more veggie plants may do some more tomatoes. The ones on the side of the yard with the fence are doing great the ones by the garage are fading they get plenty of water Jut not doing as well. Maybe because they get more hours of sun ? And it is going to be a record breaking summer here. We are already in the tripple digits and it is only June Wait until August and the dog days of summer. Well got to run for now get my ducks lined up. Maybe I wont be so grumpy today sort of back on my regular routine or as regular as it gets for the weekend. Talk again soon same Bat channel ..

6/3/11

Wow Friday. Blood sugar was 105 this morning had a peanut butter fold over on wheat bread. Off to Ms Tommy's she is hosting a brunch for her graduating class. YIKES ! So she called in a panic on Tuesday and needed some help. Bill ( her husband ) did not want to dust ha ha so he tells her call Amy... I love it. So it was an extra payday this week. Only I had to work on Friday morning. Home about noon blood sugar was 101 nothing between  just strung out. Hungry grouchy and Larry had not brought the trash can in from the curb. And he had not swept the kitchen floor. I asked him to do that before i left. He did however do a bunch of errands for his mother. So I was grumpy for nothing and what did it really hurt me to bring in the can and sweep the floor. Then I grumped at him for eating potato chips. Cause I wanted to go to lunch and then a movie.  Which was fine with him and he could still eat chips. Maybe it was just that I could not have any, that my sugar was 101 after I worked all morning. Just stress I think. We had chinese food for lunch I had a few rice noodles and some sushi Love that ! Just not to much cause of the carbs. Ate everything else though. Ha ha half a fortune cookie. We saw the new X Men movie it was pretty good. Long though. Went on to Wal Mart and got a few things. Blood sugar was again 101 and I ate cherries and I mean I ate cherries... They had been on sale. had a piece of grilled pineapple and a piece of raw  ha  strawberries grilled onions and peppers squash and some grilled italian sausage and an ear of corn. well half an ear felt guilty about the cherries. No walk and no bike way to hot this evening for that. temp reached 102 today and the humidity is high. Being hot makes me grumpy too. Poor Larry ha cannot win for losing today. Not going to even check teh sugar before bed. It was low last night.  We had gone to Super One and got a couple of things, and sugar was low I felt real bad. Had half a dozen M&Ms then came home and ate hummus roasted pine nut hummus. OMG it was good I like it on lettuce leaves. Yum So had that and we ate sandwiches bacon lettuce and tomato Larry an I had some turkey on ours. I had a fold over ate the heel of the bread. And had strawberries and also made me a little BLT salad... No bread just everything else. Was starving.. then at 9:30 or so go to check the sugar thinking it will be high because of the hummus and the berries and the bread ... It was 76 so I finnished the hummus with a few corn chips and had a piece of dark chocolate. Yeah ?? Go figure... So hummus must be good course I worked all day yesterday Richards house needed  cleaned and then came home and mowed the rest of the yard ran the weedeater ect maybe thats why it was so low. And I rode the stationary bike for a while. Need to get back to our walking I miss that but if Larry is tired and it has been so darned hot... Way to hot May need to start walking over at the medical mall it has ac .. Hmm nice stroll in the mornings ? might not be a bad idea. And I got a facebook friend request from my long lost cousin Kelli we were close when we were young, I spent many a night at her house. She always had the best toys and her own TV Always was jealous of her ha ha ha we watched Scooby Doo together. So it will be interesting to catch up. Got to run for now am really tired... One sec it is 9 36 and we ate about 7 lemme see how bad this is 88 can you believe that ?

Thursday June 2, 2011

Well here it is end of the week for Larry I am working for Richard today, and for Tommy tomorrow... Owe my mother in law a bundle of money. She loaned us the funds to get the new car fixed. Free car :) nothing in life is free though. It had to have the whole air conditioning system replaced and the alternator. And they say it needs new tires. So it wont be going far until we do that. Blood sugar this morning was 100 had a pita peanut butter fold over. Lazy ! Did not want to fix anything or think about it to much. Got a load of laundry going hopefully it will be dry before I have to go. Plan on kicking butts and taking names today and getting his house done PDQ but it has been almost a month since I have been there... So It will most likely need an overhaul. Thought maybe he would fire me after the fiasco with his girl friends friend. Yeah that was a mess. Worked in the yard yesterday got the swing hung up looks great ! ran the weed eater and mowed the back yard. Got the chainsaw out and took some low hanging limbs out of this tree back here really opened up the yard.. Only I threw them over the fence into the ditch ha ha and have not dragged them out yet. Guess that will be waiting on me when I get home this afternoon as well as mowing and weed eating the front... Got my batteries on charge so it should be good to go when I get back. Had to water all the plants last night it has been very hot and dry here. We have been eating tomatoes and green beans squash and peppers out of the garden. We had a mexican casserole last night that was really good with some spanish rice. That was really good I had a little bit. The casserole was made with carb smart tortillas and it was nice. 4 carbs per tortilla 6 totillas in the whole thing. Larry really liked it. Had chicken salad and an ear of corn for lunch and had eaten yogurt for breakfast. Blood sugar was 95 before lunch and was 88 before supper. Had a popsicle between lunch and dinner. And had 10 grapes and a piece of dark chocolate before bed.  So things have been going well no walk yesterday to hot Larry was whipped and I rode the stationary bike for about 20 minutes. Does not take long to get the heart rate up on the bike.. And I know it should be a longer ride, working up to that.
Guess thats all for now will be writing again soon. Have to get my butt in gear. Need some jumper cables around here Have a hard time getting started sometimes.

Wednesday June 1 2011

Ahhh June did not get back to my blog yesterday. For whatever reason going over there and sitting in the doctors office just seems to take an entire day. I much prefer a morning appointment but what are you going to do ? Still LOVE the new doctor he is so personable and he laughs at my jokes :) So here is the scoop the sugar numbers are all good. My A1C went from 12.8 to 7.0 he seems to think it will be lower next time. That this shows the last 3 months and would have included the time it took for me to get the sugar down to within reasonable numbers. No cholesterol medicine but that has to come on down a little more. Not much but a little. He says it is borderline. And I lost 4 more pounds. That is the slow part there. Little bit here little bit there and nothing dramatic again what are you going to do ... So I am now at a whopping 235 pounds just have to keep working on that also. He told me he never though ice cream was a good idea ha ha that the fat content was to high, so am looking for a reasonable substitute.. Sherbert will be nice sometimes I think you can find that in sugar free. That would be better... Another trip to the health food store to see what they offer. Not that is the mainstay of my exsistence but it is nice to have a little goodie once in a while. Got a bonus letter from my brother ha ha thats what he called it a bonus for this week.. Funny funny stuff. he cracks me up. And it is always good to hear from him. Well I think that the bed is calling me back Will write again soon lots of yard work to do today so I better rest while its early.
