Weight back down to 167.2 lbs. FBG was 110 so not unhappy with that.
Carol Sue I don't know if I will ever lose my belly either. It sounds crazy but I noticed a not like feeling above my scar and realized that is where my belly button should be. She made me one, but it is just below where it should be. Funny things you notice. My babysister has never had a flat stomach since she had her C-section. I noticed the last time we went to a restroom together that she wears a body deal that makes her stomach look flat. She has always done very low carb. I would just like to be able to get mine down so I could feel comfortable in my clothes.
Most of my exercise is done. DH and I talked and he suggested that while I'm on chemo treatment to exercise every other day. I plan to do M-T-F. I did 8 minutes on the bike today without too much trouble. If all goes well I think I'll get back to my full 15 minutes by the end of the month.
Carol Sue I hope you get what you want in a new car. The money I could spend for a car goes for my cancer treatments. Thankful I can do it. I'm happy for you.

scale today down .2 again. 179.4. One pound every 5 days would work for me as long as it continues.
They only had 1 2025 Trax and it was a loaner so we got a 2026. It only had 4 miles on it. Now we drove it home and it has 24 miles. DH could not figure out how to turn on the volumn on the radio so we drove home with no radio. After we got home he figured it out. They. should make it standard so they all work the same like in the older cars.
Carol Sue I'm glad things worked out and you got a nice car. Happy for you.
Saw the oncologist and didn't get a treatment today. I have to go Tuesday morning to have a port put in and then as soon as my insurance approves of the treatment, we will start it. I will get 6 treatments which will be done every 28 days. So I figure it will be spring before they will be over. He said a couple of weeks. So I figure we will probably start them by the end of the month.
We discussed the fluid on my gut and after talking to him, I don't want to have it done ever again if I don't have to. So I will continue doing my low carb woe. I wanted pizza today, but settled for KFC chicken and coleslaw.

Down another .2. Scale was 179.2. I am down 1 full pound since last Thursday.
DH wants to go to the casino today even though he said he wont go anymore except Friday. I replied, We will go today instead of Friday and he said No, so we are not going today. He wants to goninbthe new car. i don't want to go because we already spent the moneybonbthe new car. When the dealer called our insurance they would not makenthe change so Ivhadctovcall. They sent a temporary insurance to email but our printer is not working so I cant print it. So we have insurance but we cant prove it if we get stopped. So I dont want to do any highway driving until we get the official document in the mail
Carol Sue Can you copy the emailed insurance on your phone so you can prove you have it? Just a thought.
Nothing new here today. Weight is the same and FBG 110. So I assume that is good. I still don't really like salmon but eat it so DH and I are going to half a fillet. Have done about half of my exercises. I don't know if I will keep tracking calorie/carbs. I find I'm eating just to reach 1000 calories. When I get back on chemo, I might lose my appetite and won't want to eat 1000 calories a day.

Last night I had potty issues throughout the night. as a result the scale skipped 178 all together and went down to 177.8. I know I will not hold that but its nice to see the big drop.
My friend and I had a viscious weekend and we have come to a screeching halt. All that we are exchanging now are angry words. Someone else has been texting me now. Another celebrity or so he says. From California.
Carol Sue So sorry you had potty issues but I know it is always nice to see the weight loss from it. I hope you will be able to keep most of it off.
My weight is stuck at 167.2 lbs. The FBG is bouncing around. The carbs bring it up but is still under 120 so I'm thankful for that. My precious niece and her Daddy and DH are coming over this afternoon and bringing chicken tenders. Another carby day.
Sorry your friend and you are having disagreements. If he is who he says he is, I think he is facing some real problems right now.

I was happy to see the weight drop from the potty issues but I dont think I will be able to hold the loss. My blood sugar was up this morning. way too high. I hope I can get it back down. I need to get serious about all this, weight and blood sugar.
Today we ordered from the local pizza,shop, a meatball calzone and breaded mushrooms. That was DHs choice and I will eat a small portion. Ive been trying to eat light in the evening.
I also have to get on the computer and pay some bills.
Carol Sue My weight is up 1 lb today and I also know that gain is from the carby lunch I ate yesterday. Although I ate very little because I spent most of my time just enjoying the visit with my niece. I didn't check the calories but I'm sure I didn't eat 1000 calories but everything was carby no veggies to offset it.
I did talk to her about the Monjauro you take. She said the weight loss is very slow and her A1c last doctor's appointment was up to 5.8 but she said that is because there were times she forgot to take the shot when her Mother was dying. I can tell she is really hurting and worried about losing me. I had a miscarriage on June 19th, 1983. On June 30th, her Mother called me and said "Get up here and hold this baby". I went to the hospital and met this beautiful baby girl and fell in love with her. A year later her babysitter stopped keeping her and I kept her until she went to kindergarten. She has been my baby ever since. She was almost to tears a few times. I finally told her that DH always goes with me for my appointments, but if she wants to be there to, that is fine with me. However, I think she needs to heal from the loss of her Mother and I don't want her to have to go through the things with me that are still fresh on her heart while I am going through them. She brought me beautiful flowers. Just what I needed just to see and visit with her.
I wrote you an email yesterday and will look for yours today.
Weight stayed the 1 lb gain so still 168.2 lbs today. One thing I noticed when DN, DBIL and her DH came over for dinner, is how much I ate. I had 2 chicken tenders, 1 roll, about 10 fries and 2 corn fritters. I ate 1 and 3/4 of the chicken tenders, half the roll, the 2 corn fritters and about 5 of the fries. I spent most of my time talking and visiting. It made me remember the last time I had Thanksgiving at my house. I fixed a plate and ate a few bites and never knew what happened to my plate. I figure someone ate it or threw it out. The reason... I was the hostess and spent time visiting with everybody. I just enjoyed my guests.
What I realized was that I have learned to eat when I'm not hungry especially on diets that say you have to eat 3 meals a day and you must eat this many fruits depending on whether you are diabetic or not, so many veggies, this amount of protein... eat this or don't eat that etc. I have decided to eat my own version of "mindful eating" my way. This morning I had my coffee and drank a protein shake. I have a roast cooking so DH nor I have to cook until Wednesday.
No changes. Weight still 168.2 lb and FBG 105. I think that is good with all that is going on. Perhaps the tumor has stopped growing, but will still do the chemo regardless. God is good.
