Hi all :smug: ... found out whats been raising the blood G its the large amount of balongi ..and also making me retain the water ..no weight loss today but..no gain ..now iam watching every thing I put in my mouth for salt content ... did 21 min of treadmill ..and walked up and down the stairs 7 times ...does that count????? if not my body is in pain for nothing whaaaaaaaa:o
Anyway .. you members are the greatest!!!!!:carrot: Annie

Hi Glen . . . :hug: Glad to see you found us.

Hi Annie . . . :hug: You too. Is there a lot of carb in bologna? I know it is high in salt and high in fat; but what has it got that has had such an impact on BGL?

I've been having a good day, all things considered, but I am a little ache-y in a lot of places. It's kind of damp and quite icy here.

Have a great moving and shaking kind of evening, gang. :carrot: Hope everybody else finds us, too.

Hi linda ... The doctor tells me that salt raises my already
very high blood pressure... when the blood pressure goes up, so does the blood G.. I dont think there are carbs in balongna? And I swear that I believe that laughing raises my bgl and b/p ..why not everything else does:(
anyway onward and upward.. if its not one thing its another:dizzy:

Thanks . . . even after all these years as a Type II . . . I really did not know that high BP would mean high BG. Actually thought it was more likely to work the other way around.

One of the things I love about 3FC . . . always learning new and valuable info. :yes:

yw linda.. your also right as well . High blood sugar will also run your b/p numbers high ..its all a visious circle...and stress and everything else to go with it ..... Iam also learning more and more everday..But I think it will keep us more healthy the more we know ...:carrot:

Hi you all just a drive by to say:newyear: ! We went to my friends for a wonderful prime rib dinner and I ate way to much but was so good,,took my bs before i left and it was 96 to early to take the byetta shot so will take it a little later tonight so I don't skip it altogether,,am suppose to get on the scale tuesday,,,sure don't want to,,but am starting all over and should know where I am I guess,,my new years resolution is to just try my very,,very best and be honest with myself,,which always isn't easy for me,,,anyway will see about the wt maybe I will just behave and get on it on friday ? gosh I am a whinner sometimes,,,:D

So have a great one you all and I hope to talk to you all soon and I hope the new years fresh start gets us all in the mood to help ourselfs and each other :cheer:

Later friends,,,Jeanne :genie:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Blackeye peas and ham for dinner... we are going all out on the luck part this year: not to mention the salad greens for $$$ ! :) I need all the help I can get!

I did get on the evil metal monster this morning... Said 179. Considering that my all time low is 176, I don't feel too bad. I even jumped on it a second time to make sure it was right.

Anywho, it's the start of SP this week, I will let you all know how it goes.

Hugs,

Good to see so many of you making it back . . . nowhere to go but down the long road to health and fitness, gang . . . together we can do it. :hug:

My but I have led a sheltered (or is that frozen) life, MONETand JOSIAN. Never heard of the happiness-ham / greenback-greens / prosperity-peas / rice-riches kind of New Year's dinner before. I love it . . . :hug: . . . this is definitely my day for learning new things.

I'm more a roast beef kind of girl, too JEANNE :hug: and Lamb is my very favourite for New Years. Suprisingly enough though, I did have ham for dinner tonight, but with tiny red potatoes, asparagus, and carrots . . . nothing traditional about it; just happened to be what I felt like. :dizzy:

Anyway, gang . . . it is time for this Nor-Easter to head to bed. See you all tomorrow . . . keep on moving and shaking. :carrot:

Good Morning, buddies . . .

It is very mild and raining here today . . . got rid of the snow and ice (a good thing) . . . but plays havoc with the arthritis (a bad thing).

Overall, though, I'm in a happy place today . . . the "goodie-weight" has gone and I was back to my ticker-weight of 239.8 this morning . . . yippee :goodvibes . . . so glad my little theory actually proved out and it did go pretty quickly. Sure hope it works that way for all of you, too. :goodvibes Anyway, I've completely changed my ticker to reflect the new year, new effort on this long winding road to better health and fitness. I will now return to my regular WWI, however. This has been a one of a kind thing . . . sort of a special "getting rid of Christmas" week during which I was weighing myself everyday, just to see how long it would take.

MONET . . . :hug: So sorry to hear that you are still feeling so awful, but I do hope that weight loss hangs in there after the flu is gone. The new book sounds like a fascinating read . . . be sure to keep us posted.

Well, gang . . . must get off about my business. Keep things moving and shaking and here's a dose of :dust: to keep us all heading in the great downward direction. See you soon. :carrot:

Good morning. Time to get back to real life! My BGL was up again to 6 something - probably had something to do with lasagna, bread and trifle yesterday - ya think? :lol:

Monet, I do hope that weightloss sticks and you get to feeling A-OK soon.

Meowee, we are mild here too with no snow. The snowdrops beside my walk are showing white and will probably bloom today! Very strange! By the way, I find that taking glucosamine really helps those damp weather aches and pains.

Today is a catching up and shifting gears day. Here's to a healthy 2007!

Right you are RUTH . . . :hug:

If it wasn't for the Glucosamine I take, I'm not sure I'd be walking at all . . . I also take Shark Cartilage and I've been out for a few days . . . thanks for the reminder. ;)

And, yepper, that sounds like a pretty hefty dose of carb . . . this, too will pass.
