Got a new battery for my monitor and was back on track with testing this morning at 6.0 ot 108 south of the 49th. It may go back up tomorrow as my sister (not the demon one) is coming for wings and wine and whine tonight. She just lost her best friend to cancer and needs some big sister comfort. I'll try to limit the wings and focus on salad because my weight is stalled!
Time to flip those wings - they are baked, rather than fried but still......
Another beautiful day for northern Nova Scotia . . . and I must get out and enjoy it, because we are being warned that Hanna is definitely coming for us, although only at the Tropical Storm level.
Another weird BGL day, too . . . at bedtime last night I was 5.4/97 . . . first thing this morning I was 8.3/149 . . . got busy cleaning up some cat debris and 45 minutes later (before I even got my first coffee) I had gone up to 10.1/182 . . . just
On the computer front -- My desk-top has an appointment for this afternoon about 3 . . . add to the time estimate from the 'wizard-guy' of 5 or 6 hours in his shop plus another hour or two when he brings it back, . . . the fact that it is the weekend, and . . . the fact that Hanna is supposed to hit us late Saturday (with possible power outages) . . . I have absolutely no idea when I will get back on-line.
PS . . . I'm putting a couple of insteresting little tidbits over on the main Diabetes Support Board for you to take a look at when you get a chance.
Hope to see you all soon . . .

Well, I really got started late this morning, so didn't get to post a comment until lunchtime. Probably got started late because I had dinner with a girlfriend of mine last night and had things I shouldn't have -- red wine, three bites of cheesecake, three corn tortillas. Both numers showed it ... the glucose monitor (178) and the scale (up 2 lbs). Grrrrrr. My fault, though!
So, back on track today. Had a protien bar for breakfast (160 cal, 4 g fat, 27 carbs) and a salad for lunch. Numbers have been in the 120s so far today. Hope I will rein everything back in and work on success again.
Meowee -- thanks for the comment on the avatar! It was a photo from once when we went to a Greek festival and I was so envious that all the children got to get their faces painted. So, I begged the face painter to do mine too! Sounds like enviable weather up there! Beautiful now, with some potential excitement. Enjoy the beauty and stay safe during any tempest!
Hi everyone.. another rainy day i'm sure tired of the rain sad thing is it will soon be snow.. sl was 121 this am a little high for me but i snacked last night late so my fault..meowee hope the puter problems are resolved.. when mines not working i go into withdrawals.. ruth hope your sister feels better after some tlc..dyan sounds like u are a fun person,i would have had my face painted too.. dh is going to the cabin today,so its me and the dogs..have agreat day (((hugs))) rosey
Good Saturday morning! Cooler and rainy here this morning. I don't know if that's the result of Hannah or some other strange weather thingie.
It's a good thing I got my monitor working as my BGL tested at 2.3/41.4 this morning! I must start keeping juice or glucose tablets on hand. I ended up having a salami sandwich on rye for a quick breakfast fix and am OK now. When I get a low I really don't feel it - just do dumb things like putting Fiber One into my tea pot and pouring the boiling water into the cereal bowl!
Just found my list of targets for July and August and wonder why I bother. I weigh more than I did July 1 and sure have not got back into walking. There are times when I wonder why I bother but I m NOT giving up - ever!
Hope Meowee keeps her power when Hard Hearted Hannah hits the Maritimes. Stay safe and warm, everyone.
'Tis a lovely morning here in north central Texas! 67 degrees. Beautiful! DH got home safely yesterday and his sister will be here tomorrow to stay for a few days. So, many preparations for her arrival today!
Meowee -- I hope the computer guy was able to fix your desktop! Let's hope Hannah has stalled over the northeastern US and won't make it up to Nova Scotia!
Rosey -- I hope you're having fun with the dogs! While you regret the thought of snow coming, in Texas we wish for snow days! You and I could have a great time at the fairs by doing all of the fun things!
Ruth -- Keep a close eye on keeping the boiling water and the Fiber One separated!
Morning everyone..its still raining..the dh went to the cabin..its nice to be able to stay by myself..my doctor gave me permission to go back on glucophage im going to test alot the next few days to see if there's a change in sl..im happy to be off insulin..so far so good as sl was 84 this am..things get better every day for me and im greatful for all my progress..meowee hope the puter gets fixed..dyan im a kid at heart..ruth how scary for u..ive never had a low # like that..not sure what the day will bring but its all mine, well me and the dogs that is..they sure where acting skittish with the dh gone and barked at every little noise..i think they sense im diff now and are very protective and stay out of my way as before they where always under my feet..i luv my dogs.. well im rambling ttfn and hope your weekend's great.. rosey
Good morning. I'm watching Hannah move toward the Maritimes. I hope everyone is safe and can check back in as soon as this brat of a storm moves out.
Good BGL this morning despite some pizza and wine last night! Now to focus on clean eating today.
Rosey, dogs just know, don't they? When I was recuperating from my knee operation, Hershey stayed right with me all day except for potty breaks and never did her usual paws on my lap routine.
Jeanne, what's happening? Catch us up.
Dyan, I am just fascinated by your make-up. When they do face painting around here, I get done up too but yours looks particularly attractive.
Meowee, I hope your PC and Hannah problems disappear soon. We miss you!
I am skipping Church this morning to observe my sick dog but will get lots done around the house to get ready for a busy week. I may even finally get some cooking ahead done!
Good morning and happy Monday! BGL was 6.8(122.4) this morning, a bit high for me. On checking Fitday I realized yesterday was pretty carb heavy and low on protein so I need to fix that today.
I spoke with Meowee yesterday and she's still dealing with no computer and is into heavy withdrawal. Poor baby! She'll be bask as soon as possible, I'm sure so we'd better get movin' and shakin'. (Every time she writes that, I feel sooo guilty!)
Running a bit late this morning, but sending ((hugs)) to Meowee... hoping her computer problems get resolved soon. She will be missed until her return!
Rosey -- hope you've been enjoying your quiet time and that the rain has abated somewhat.
Ruth -- I think there was just a particularly inspired face painter at the fair I went to. Quite the impressionist arteest.
My bgl is 125 today. I'm still not sure what is high and what is low, but maybe I'll see the doctor again sometime and he can reveal some other clues to the diabetes mystery. I'm probably just particularly dense that I don't understand all of this stuff!
Anyway, have a great day and I will move and shake out the door to work!
Morning everyone..another rainy day heremy sl was 78 this am..i told the dr's i had better control with pills and now this proves it..the #'s low for me so will still test alot ,maybe since ive lost weight i need the dosage ajusted..dh made it home and we both enjoyed our time alone ..meowee u are missed,hope the puter is fixed soon..jeanne and rosetta hope all is ok with u..ruth tks for updating us about meowee..dyan its a strange disease and hard to figure some times..nothing on the agenda today..might play bingo tonight,have a good day everyone rosey
Hi, all. Whew, I am so tired I could drop! We spent all last week with a trainer from the east coast "home office." It was horrible. 92 degree temps, no air conditioning, stuck in a conference room being told the rules and regulations and being indoctrinated into their elaborate computer systems. I was so out of it i forgot to take my bgl a couple of days. Today was no better. My job has gotten more complicated. Plus they can get into our computers from there so I will have to do my personal stuff after hours and be sure to sign out of this site every time. Sure wish I could retire.
Meowee-hope you get back online soon.
Rosey - I'm happy to hear you're doing so much better.
Hey..i posted this am and poof it was gone ..its still raining and on the way home last night i got soaked getting back in the house..i was a 100$ winner at bingo tho ..rosetta sry for all your stress..meowee we miss you..ruth,dyan and jeanne hope your days going well ttfn befor this goes poof too rosey
I'm dropping by late today! Home from work and waiting for my husband and his sister so that we can go out for dinner -- (Indian food... hope I can stay on plan!)
Anyway, because my sister-in-law is here visiting, I had a glass of red wine last night and Ta-Da! my bgl registered 204. I guess the big message from the Diabetes Fairy is "You shall not enjoy any of the things you've enjoyed in the past! Ever!" (wow, did that sound *poor me* or what?!)
Today, I got my bgl to remain in the 120's, so I guess that's good. It has improved from the numbers I had when I first started, so... okay!
Weight hasn't budged. Sitting at this 25 lb plateau wondering if I'll ever see a lower number. I should probably just stop sitting around griping and start exercising, eh?!
Rosetta -- sounds like you have a STRESSFUL job! I had one of those 6 months ago and have thankfully found this new job which has just the right amount of stress.
Rosey -- I sure wish that rain would stop! I'm afraid you might melt! Maybe your Bingo $100 could be applied to fixing your computer so it doesn't lose your posts anymore!
Meowee -- Can't wait to hear all your stories when you come back!
Take care, everyone! Hope I can provide a more pleasant attitude tomorrow!
