A diary of what works for me
Posted in Updates on Feb 28th, 2010
Yes, I’m back again. I decided to give my return to a Low Carb way of eating a week or so before I got back to blogging about it. Needless to say I fell way off the wagon. The “wake up” call to me happened about two weeks ago. I was having terrible muscle spasms [...]
I’m sorry I haven’t been around. Have been having some health issues. Will be back on board soon. Just wanted to let those of you who do stop by (a big thank you) to know that this is not a dead blog.

This morning I decided it was time to face the scale. I hadn’t been on it for awhile. I’ve found just about every excuse not to get back on the bandwagon. Just imaging how surprised I was to see that I’ve lost a few more pounds and am at 295. That’s 15 lbs since I [...]

Here’s wishing that all of us have a great New Year and that 2009 brings a big helping of good things. I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted in such a long time. Between a cold, the flu, and now something that I have to see my doctor about on Monday, this has been a rough [...]

It’s not coming off as quickly as I had hoped, but I’m at 298. I gotta find something else to write about here. lol Had a really good Taco Salad the other night. I had two small shells and then ate what was left without shells. It’s soooo good to know exactly what is going [...]

Hi, all, Just a quick update. I know how frustrating it can be to follow a blog and then it seems as though the blogger disappers. Well, tonight will be an interesting experiment in cooking. Have you ever heard of Beer Can Chicken? That’s what we are going to have for dinner. I’m a sucker [...]

I did it. I broke that 300 barrier. I’m somewhere between 298 and 299 – but it’s under 300. What a relief. It seems like it’s taking forever to lose the weight – but at least things are moving downward. Glucose this morning was 91. Didn’t feel great, but didn’t seem to have the terrible [...]
I got on the scale this morning and my weight it exactly on 300. I can’t see any reason why I can’t get into the 200s this week. Last night Dave and I made tacos. I had mine with low-carb tortillas and he had the regular hard taco shells. They were so good and this [...]
Last week I went to see my MD and took my notebook where I’d been keeping track of my glucose readings since early July. He was very, very happy about the information and of course the good readings. We discussed the few hypoglycemia problems I’d had. He said that as my body got used to [...]

Just a quickie. I’ve gained back about a pound of those five I’ve lost. Gotta get back on the program. I can definitely tell the difference when I really cut back on the starchy carbs. My glucose readings are still very good. They have been running around 110 most of the week. Giving my fingers [...]
