Wow! He eats his cauliflower at 3-4 AM. Im sound asleep at rhat time. I know he stays up late and then sleeps late. DH goes to bed around 9-10 pm but he doesnt go to sleep, he watches tv in bed. Sometimes I govto bed with him but mostly cant sleep with the tv on. He used to fall asleep with it on and it was on until 4 am. HE truns the soind down but it lights up the room. Now he turns it off but then turns on a light. so I never get to sleep in a dark room. He says he wants a light on.

He went to the local store for potatoes. He wanted a rotisserie chicken but there were none. They told him there are more cooking but he didnt want to wait. He got McDonalds fish sandwiches which I dont really like. I ate the fish but not the bun.

Today a robo call went out from the water company to conserve water. First time we ever got that. DH told me to quit showering!😅. Actually I have tons of laundry that needs done. Weve been doing the bare minumum. If they check our water usage ours is very low. But I do need to get caught up on laundry. I dont know why theres a shortage. Weve had no rain but we've had snow.

I cant imagine being married 3 times. It took me long enough to find one husband. We got married at 35 and 38. I dated before but none serious. There was one guy I particularly wanted and he kept me from getting involved with anyone else. He married someone else so then I knew to look elsewhere. I met DH when I was 14 so knew him for a long time, during which he married and had my stepchildren. After they split up we got together accidentally.

I try to eat my first meal at 10-11 am then again at 3-4 pm. Most of the time I end up eating something at night if DH does. DH rarely eats breakfast even though he cooks for me. If we have sweets he will eat that with his coffee. He likes to eat Pastaroni for lunch, but if he doesnt hes ready for dinner at 2-3. Thats,early for me but I do it for him. He changed nothing when we married, but I changed to what he prefers. Its just easier that way.

Carol Sue When I married DH, I ate mostly one or two snacks a day no real meals. I ate just enough to satisfy hunger. I worked at least 2 jobs and was very active with church activities. I would start with a c of coffee with Atkins bar and sometimes would run by house on the way to another job to grab a bite of rotisserie chicken that I always kept on hand. Once in a while I would go out with a friend for a meal and mostly ate salads which I later learned had no real nutritional value. When I married DH and moved to FL, I was surrounded by fruit and fell in love with all kinds of fruit. I ate fruits for breakfast and only ate a tuna salad for lunch most days unless we went out to eat and then a lot of those were salads.

Another good eating day however today the good thing is I never got hungry tonight. That is a great accomplishment. I ate only 2 meals today. It is my plan to just take things one day at a time and hope that eventually I will have more good days and less bad days.

I forgot to take my pills last night before bed so I think I will start taking them earlier in the evening so I don't forget.

When I met DH I ate a small breakfast and lunch but rarely ate dinner. After his kids,came to live with us at 11 and 9 I started cooking dinner but rarely did I eat. Step son used to hound me to eat. After they moved out we started eating out most of the time. I just got away from cooking because DH didnt want the things I knew how to make. This was when I gained from 135 to 217. I was eating whatever I wanted.

Good sleep. No scale because I feel fat. Dont want to see the number keep going up. I think Im making a,skillet meal,Chicken Voila.. We need things from Walmart since we didnt go yesterday.

I am running late today. This is going to be busy. I think we are just going to Sam's and I may go in this time if that is true. I haven't eat brunch because nothing jumps out to me that I want to eat. I know we are going to get KFC because DH wants their cole slaw. I need to get some walking in so will do that at Sam's this time. I've not tried walking 2 stores yet. It is easier for me to go to certain parts of Sam's than to try to get DH to look for things.

Weight down 1 lb, but not happy that FBG was 115. I didn't eat anything last night. Didn't even drink my zero calorie hot chocolate. Maybe I didn't drink enough water yesterday. I don't want to start taking bs pills. DH told me he has plenty G so if I need to take one, I wouldn't need a prescription.

Got to do some more exercises I want to get done before DH gets up and we leave. Got to stay active. Also need to make a list because we don't need much. We need tomatoes or we wouldn't go out at all. DH suggested waiting until tomorrow, but it is supposed to rain tomorrow and I don't like to go out if I don't have to.

Have a nice day.

We didnt go to Walmart so we will have to go tomorrow. Im making the Chicken Voila. It is,so quick and easy. This one is,Chicken Seseme Ranch. It comes frozen in a bag and has frozen sauce blocks that you put in a frying pan and the mixture goes in with it, and a lid on it for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. It has chicken, Pasta, broccoli and carrots. There are a few other flavors available. I think you could add extra chicken or vegetables if you want. Next time I make it I will plan to make an extra,chicken breast and more veggies.

I probably wont buy that Chicken Voila often because the pasta really spiked blood sugar. I dont take my meds properly. I should take them before i eat, not wait til blood sugar spikes afterwards.

Trish,one thing that might help with FBG is saving some of your exercise to do after your biggest meal,probably the recumbent bike. Back when I was exercising regularly I got into a habit of walking on the treadmill for 15 minutes after dinner and that made a big difference.

aAnother thing i used to do that Ive stopped, when I went to Walmart I would start straight down the center aisle as quickly as I could without killing anyone and go all the way back to dairy to start my shipping. I would get the things I need in dairy then work my way forward thru the store and get the rest according to my list, finishing up in produce. At 10am the store is not crowded and I can move faster. By making small changes in what I normally do throughout the day I can increase activity and lower my A1c.

Saturday Is February 1, so there are 53 days til Spring. I cant wait for winter and cold weather to be gone!

Carol Sue The chicken voila looks good and I would like it, but not sure DH would.

DH said h is FBG was high this morning too. It will probably be high tomorrow too because I made the brownies and we ate them. They were diet and so thin and cooked hard as a rock, but we ate them anyway. They are gone so we won't eat them again. I won't buy that brand again. Duncan Hines is better when I can find it. Theirs is thicker, soft and chewy. They did work like a laxative though. Not bad just more movement maybe that will show up on the scale tomorrow.

When we go to Walmart, I usually start in the pharmacy, cosmetic area then move to the dairy area and work my way to the produce and bread in the front. That is a pretty good walk. When we go to the local store, I start in produce and work my way to the dairy on the other side of store then back up through to the frozen foods then check out. I get a better walk at Walmart.

It is almost time to go to bed. I will be glad when it warms up so I will get up earlier. It is so cold in the morning that I don't want to get up. One thing about it, though is that I get plenty of good sleep.

If I have prescriptions at Walmart I start in pharmacy but its on the opposite side so I dont go there unless I need something. I saw on old friend from my 20s there.

I got a rotisserie chicken but its not as good as the local store. It was $1 cheaper, the only good thing. We are going to the casino so we ate early. I dont want to go but you know, I want to get it overwith.

Carol Sue There are times when DH can get whatever we need from the pharmacy area, but I go when I want things I don't want him deciding on for me like make up, etc. If I don't need anything in that area, I go straight to the dairy in the back and work my way toward produce and bakery area.

Weight up .2 lbs today and FBG back down to 103 and bp was very good. Not much happening today as we are having thunderstorms today and tomorrow.

I hope that by going to the casino today you won't have to go back another day this week and have a good reading day.

1. I told DH to pick his day and he picked today. No more this week!

I just ordered Allulose from Amazon. It will be here tomorrow. I want it because it acts like GLP1. I will have to go back to drinking tea to use it because thats all I use it in. Couple cups per day.

___________

We are here. DH already got in a,fight with a woman over a machine. She called him a bad word! Ha ha. These gambling addicts!

I did my exercises today and then brewed a cup of dandelion tea and added it to my large container of water. I use the container I got from the hospital when I had my surgery. Then I found my pills I was supposed to take with breakfast and took them before dinner. My blood sugar, dipped and I felt like I was going to pass out while making my fruit salad and BLT for dinner. I haven't had that kind of bs reaction since I quit taking bs medications years ago. It will be interesting to find out if it does that again or if it was just the combination of exercise and the tea or the fact that I took the pills I usually take with brunch was taken on a empty stomach.

I'm not sure how much the Allulose is affecting my bs as well.

I am surprised that your DH got into an argument over a machine. Is it one he uses all the time when he can? Interesting.

The woman at the casino was someone we see all the time no matter what day we go. She talks to everyone,always complaining of how much money she played and lost. She tells everyone thst her husband died and her son was killed in an accident with a drunk driver. DH said her husband must have left her a lot of money or had a big insurance policy that she can brihng thiusands of dollars,each day to gamble with. She was playing a machine and got up and started to walk away. DH went over and was going to put his ticket in. She came runnibpng back screaming "What the @#$%& Are you doing? Cant you see I still have money in that machine? ". @#$%& this,@#$%& That You are a @#$$%&! ". He had not seen that she still had money in. Usually you turn rhe chair around backwards so people know you are coming back. It was a mistake,but she kept screaming and swearing at him. If I had been there I would have told her her son would have been so proud! She could have just said " Excuse me, I still have money in that machine, and Im coming back.". We will see her again next time we go

I dont think I have ever had a hypo like you did. My blood sugar is always high,never low, even with meds. Metformin does not cause lows,but G can. I always test before taking G to be sure I need it. My problem is not taking my meds at the right time and getting a spike. My biggest fear is getting a low during the night while I sleep. So I would rather go to bed with a high BG rather than low,and I dont take G too close to bedtime. I wonder if the Allulose did it! Its supposed to I think.

Scale went down a few tenths and sleep was good.

BBL

Weight just bounces back and forth between 163 and 164.6. I have decided this is probably good because it should mean tumor is not growing. I am stable. I'm not going to be too concerned with weight right now. I want do want to work at taking care of inflammation and am looking at an anti-inflammatory woe. I've done low carb for so many years so don't know much about any other woe. FBG was 105 and bp was 121/59. So that is good.

My heart goes out to those families of the 64 people who lost their lives in the plane/helicopter crash last night. So devistating. The first thing I thought of was my nephews who fly so much and am thankful they don't go to DC.

Cod fish is on the menu today so I'm the cook. I barely reached 1000 calories on my plan. I had oatmeal for brunch. Now got to get my exercises done. I usually spread them throughout the day and did too many at one time yesterday. I will do better today.

Have a good day.

I dont know what we will eat today. I had brunch. I could cook pork chops but he is on the phone and I cant askk him.

I read online that there were members of the US,Skating team on that plane. A husband and wife team and a few young skaters and their parents. I dont know if I will ever fly again. You never know when this will happen. I guess you really never know when your time is up.

I read online that allulose fights inflammation. It works like GLP 1 to reduce cravings and appetite. And also lowers blood sugar, the same as the weight loss,drugs. My allulose is on its way and will be here today. I bought a 2 1/2 lb bag.

DH ended up making home fries. He can eat only potatoes but I dont want to. They dont contain all the nutrients the body needs. He didnt want a pork chop so I cooked one for myseld and ate some hearts of palm. I love them. They are similar to artichoke hearts. DH does not eat them.

My Allulose came. I will start to use it tomorrow in tea, probably black or black and green combined. I really love black and it has health benefits but so does green.

We will probably be going to bed soon.

I just made a cup of sleepytime tea and put some Allulose in it. DH asked me for the third time what it is. He said "In case something happens to you and I have to tell the ambulance driver what it is." I told him "Just let me die . Dont call the ambulance.". So if you dont hear from me again, I died.
