Weight basically the same fluctuated between 169,8 and 170.4. Either way down so good. FBG 106 and bp 108/61. I sleep good at night but want to sleep during the day. Need some energy. Beginning to wonder if collagen I took gave me energy because I've stopped taking it. I'll have to read up on that.
Weather is 54 and not supposed to get any warmer. It will be the same tomorrow and that may be why I want to sleep so much. It is warmer to stay covered up. We had roast beef yesterday so I made a stew with low carb veggies in it for dinner today and should have enough left to eat it tomorrow.

Sleep was good. We went to the casino yesterday and I stayed up later when we got home.
Scale went up .2 which is fluctuation because I drank 2 cups of coffee before I weighed. 175.2. Blood sugar is higher than it should be but tolerable.
Not much else to report. Just living day to day. No change in diet really except not eating as much. Not exercising.
Not much going on here either. Weight, FBG a bp are all good. It is just so cold here for this time of year for us and all I want to do is stay warm and sleep. We have a few more days of cool weather but hopefully it will get up to the 70s and 80s. It has been in the 40s all day today and made it to 57 yesterday. We are supposed to get to 54 today but I'm not sure it will get there. We had enough of yesterdays beef stew/soup left over for dinner today.
I will be so glad when it warms up here, I just want it to get too hot.
My day went pretty good. I did low carb and got my exercises done today even tracking. Just taking it one day at a time. So far I'm just stable, but to get things moving again.

I got on the scale first thing today and I weigh 0. Its rechargeable so DH put it on charge for me. So i will be weighing after coffee. It shouldnt make much difference.
Blood sugar was so so, sleep was almost 6 hours according to Fitbit but I felt like I had no sleep.

Carol Sue I think you meant too close to 180 not 280. I finally got my scale back down to 169.6 lbs. I understand your frustration. My FBG was 103 and bp 100/52. I slept so sound that I didn't even wake up until 9:30 this morning. That wasn't so good today because I had to get ready to go to Walmart today.
DH will go to Sam's to get tomatoes and my chocolate protein shakes. But we need everything we get at Walmart since we don't go there to often any more since our meds come from the local store. However, we need diabetic strips and a few vitamins etc that we get from Walmart. That means that today is KFC day which isn't a problem for me if I don't eat a lot of carbs today.

Yes, Trish, I did mean 180, and today In up to 179 which is too close for comport. I even had potty issues this morning.a
Yesterday we went to Tx Roadhouse. I wasnt very hungry so I ordered.an appetizer of 4 ribs with a baked sweet potato. I drank a hard seltzer before we went and I think drinking that on an empty stomach and then eating on top of it did me in. I have to stop gaining! Now!
Carol Sue I'm kind of in the same boat with you right now. I am stuck between 169 and 171. FBG is mostly within the prediabetic range, and bp is usually where doctors say are good. But I'm not being as good at getting weight off right now. I could take 2 Lasix a day instead of 1 with the 2nd one ever few days as needed but to me that wouldn't be actual weight loss. We had KFC and I really planned to take the breading off like I do many times, but yesterday I just ate it.
I've got to do better because my daughter's bs was out of control 230 when she saw her primary last week. If I don't keep mine under control as an example to her, she will give up and it could be really bad for her. So I've got to get this under control. My problem is that I am eating just to eat and get it over with because I know I have blood work again Friday. But right now I could care less about eating. Not sure why I feel like I do.
I hope we both can get ourselves doing what we know to do. I am sleeping good, but I'm not wanting to exercise and that isn't good. Just kind of got the blahs right now and not sure why. It will pass, but I just have to make myself do what I know to do until it does. I had one good day Monday so will try to make this one a good one hoping to have 2 good days this week.

Wonderful sleep last night. 8 hours very deep. Scale went down nicely. 176, down 3 lbs, but I believecthe 179 was just excess fluid. So I dont know if the rest of the day Will go as well. I ordered a new tablet that came today so I hope the set up goes as well.
Carol Sue that is good. I hope it continues for you. I need to get busy with making this work for me.
Weight 171 lbs, FBG 112 and can't remember what bp was but it was very good. So sodium isn't my problem. I'm having a muscle pain and I don't like taking my pain pill. I won't see the oncologist until after my Scan next month, but will ask my NP next week if there is a pain pill they could give me that will not make me want to sleep. I don't mind taking the tramadol at night when I go to bed, but I don't want to take it when I have plans the next day. I don't think I'm supposed to take Advil which does help, but that was when I was on chemo. So I need to see if I can take it with the infusion medication I'm on.
I also heard the nurse tell a man in the infusion room that she was giving him before his infusion that helps with the neuropathy, and I want to talk to them about that. I would love to get something to help improve that so I can wear shoes to walk without problems.
Today I am doing the 24 hr urine test and will have blood draw tomorrow.
Nothing different here today. Weight stuck at 171 lbs; FBG 114 and bp 114/60. I am trying to look at this as a good thing since I'm not gaining weight, but I'm not losing either. I like to keep my FBG under 100 and of course, I know that means eating stricter low carb. So it is time to decide how bad I want this.
Carol Sue I hope things are going good for you.
Lab today at oncology. It is non-fasting so I had a protein shake and a cup of coffee. Will be interesting to see how this affects my test results. Today we will have pizza for dinner.

I forgot to weigh again today so I did it now, even though I've had a few cups of coffee AND breakfast. 175.4 Down .6 in spite of a big breakfast.
Today we are going to the old casino 1 hour away. The chance of snow or ice is gone. But its still cold. i guess if the road is wet it could freeze. He better win something soon. He is way overdue. April is usually a good month for me.
Eating has not really improved. Im trying to find a plan that works best that I can live with.

Hey Trish! DH said hes not going to the casino anymore. This I've got to see! We went last night and he did terrible. His daughter has been winning on scratch off tickets,so he said hes going to buy them instead.
Sleep was good but not enough. The scale is down to 174.2. I'm very glad its going down so nicely.
Blood sugar was ok, but not good like yours are. I dont know if mine will ever be that good.
I just got my second bag of Allulose. I still want to find information on how to use it for weight loss.
