Update (late) – Sept 2, 2008
Sep 2nd, 2008 by Sandra
I’m slowly getting back on track after a week or so off the wagon. I’ve got groceries in the house (well, condo, really) and so have no excuse not to cook. Well, I can always find a reason not to cook – mailing I’m so bad at it.
But, I’ve got some good news. I’m doing very well on keeping my Glucose Levels down as long as I don’t overdo the carbs. This morning my Glucose reading was 116 (fasting.) And, I hadn’t weighed myself last Friday because I was just not ready to face what it might say. But, this morning I thought, oh, what the heck – so got on the scale and it’s at 301! Yippee. That’s 9 lbs so far. I really want to be under 300 when I go to see my doctor next Wednesday and it looks like I’m going to make it.
My biggest obstacle right now is getting my butt into the kitchen and cooking. Also, have to find some low-carb snacks besides cheese.
I’d also like to thank anyone who is following this blog. After looking at many of the other LC blogs out there I realize I’m not breaking any new ground with information. This blog is, for now, a record of my personal efforts to get to feeling better and keeping my Glucose under control so I can stay away from Insulin and avoid any of the problems associated with Diabetes.
