Hello GGs! It's a pretty day again today...supposed to get about 79 I think. We went to the gym as usual and I got back to my usual routine. I got a pretty good sleep and also I took one of those 5 hr energy drinks and they always help me. I just happen to have a sample. My eating is still good. My am bs was still high but lower than yesterday and a little over 2 hrs after breakfast and after my workout my bs was only 115!! That is normal but very low for me. I even felt a bit woozy, but glad to see such a low number finally. Makes me know I'm doing the right things and I'm very greatful for yet another chance to try and reverse things. I knew if I just ate right I could do it. AMs are the hardest and I might not be able to change that but even the doc has said that one BS being a little high is not terrible. I can't wait to get a good A1C and show the doctor I don't need another medication quite yet.
I just have be thinking, thinking, thinking all the time so I don't just grab and stuff something in my mouth...I'm trying to focus on the priorities in my life.
They were giving away some fresh red plums at the gym and I picked up a couple...oh so sweet and good after working out. Of course I waited to come home and take my bs before eating mine. I got a lot done yesterday and am hoping to do it again today...housework never ends, does it...but when I feel up to it I enjoy it.
Cajun/Jess - You are doing so well!! Congrats on all your weight loss. You inspire me!! So sorry, Cajun, for the despair you feel about your son moving out. Of course you realize that his independence is a good thing that you have built into him but it's still hard I know. In my case, I was so tired of raising four kids and the pain caused by a couple of them that I didn't really feel the empty nest syndrome and enjoyed being just the two of us...but then later on it hit me hard and even now I miss them. Even the one that lived nearby for a while and then a couple hours away I rarely saw due to other issues (not related to our relationship with him). He was only 18 when he left home. Cajun, look at it this way...at least you can see him from your house...do you know how much I would love to be able to do that?!! Mine are scattered about in four states and even the one in WA is almost three hours away. But it's been worse as he has been in Iraq. I hope he doesn't ever have to go there again. I know whenever they are not under your roof though that you will feel sadness..somehow it just doesn't seem right to a mother.
