For some reason scale was back up over 180 today. Blood surgar was up too.

My friend is back. He said he's permanent.

I forgotvto weigh this morning.

I think my friend is gone permanently. We talked this morning then now his account has been deleted.

Scale up to 166.6 lbs this morning. I have been so wiped out for so many days that I've decided that I have cut my carbs to far back and it is not good for me. So I'm adding some carbs to see how many my body needs. I ate more yesterday and suddenly felt alive and alert. I don't want to raise my calories so will just adjust my carbs to keep calories between 1000 and 1200 daily. I don't like fat so will keep carbs moderate and still below 90 g, and protein up.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Today the scale stayeed at 180.4. i thought it would go down. There are foods I need to stip eating, too. If I add carbs it needs to be vegrtabbles. x i did much bettrr when I ate more vegetables and protein.

Still no positive contact with my friend. There are 1 or 2 that could be him.
​

Weight stayed at 166.6 lbs today adding the carbs. I don't want to add too many carbs so will work at keeping them lower most days. Today total carbs will be 49 g. I saw somewhere that 50 g a day is good. I know some days they will be higher, but most days they will be low. FBG was 115 and that is the main reason I want to keep them low. I would really love to be able to get that reading back down below 100. I did it years ago and should be able to do it again.

Carol Sue I would think if your friend is who he claims to be that he would be very busy so that would be why he doesn't write every day. Interesting. People as smart as he is have funny quirks and so this could be his.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I keep forgetting to weigh before I eat or drink.. I blame that on the dog. DH gets up esrly. when I get up the dog gets up and DH wants me to hurry and get the dog hooked up for him to take him outside. The dog will not let DH hook im up. It is so funny. when I get on my scale the dog runs over and looks, as if he wants to see how much I weigh .

We are going to the casino today because on Friday we will stay home for Trick or Treat. We dont get a lot of kids but we always pass out candy. This year we are passing out bags of chips.

My friend has been very active lately. We chatted until 2 am Monday night and 11 last night.

Weight was up to 167.4 lbs yesterday before leaving to go to the hospital for echocardiogram. I couldn't get lab draw on the way to the hospital so we dropped off my 24 hr urine test, went for the echo and then got back to oncology over an hour earlier than my appointment for lab. However, they were nice enough to work me in.

I had to do so much walking at the hospital and then out to the car, that I didn't feel up to going shopping so DH did the shopping at Sam's and the local chain store across from Sam's. We still had to stop at the chain store closest to us because I had a prescription that had to be picked up. We got Chinese food for dinner. Weight stayed the same today as yesterday.

I'm waiting for all my test results to show up on my oncology portal. I got a message from the hospital that my echo results are ready but I don't remember how to get on the hospital portal since I haven't been there in over a year. Probably have it here somewhere. I figure oncology will give me the results on their portal within a day or two.

Carol Sue hope y'all have a good day at the casino. We haven't gotten trick or treaters in years so we don't buy candy to give out because we don't need to eat it. Wouldn't help to get chips because I would love eating them.

I remembered to weigh today but im up to 181. I have to do something. i need to go back y
to eating lots of vegetables like I used to. I think that kept my weight down. And I really like a variety of vegetables.

I want to go back to wearing regular jeans instead of elastic waist. To do that I have to lose some belly fat so I can button them. Exercise will help too. The only elastic waist jeans I can find are at Kohls. I will still keep them for days when I feel bloated and they are more comfortable.

Its funny, but my original friend is back. Not texting with me but on Twitter. i think hes been there all along but I didnt know it was him until this week. i can tell by the way he talks and he admitted it is him.

We did not win at the casino but brought some of our money home. Wednesday is not as good as it used to be.

Got the results of my labs and I will be having chemotherapy again and hope to start it when I get my infusion next Tuesday. Weight is stuck at 167.4 lbs and from what oncologist told me at my last visit, the weight is the fluid/ascites build up in my gut and it won't come off until I have the chemo treatment. I did 60 minutes of exercise yesterday. I did do 5 minutes on the bike with the goal to get back up to 15 minutes on it. However, I've added some other moves I've seen online that I can do so when I get back to the 15 min on bike, I will be doing 70 min of exercise 5 or 6 days a week. I hope the fact that according to my blood work I am so much better and stronger than it was the first time I had chemo and getting my exercise back to an ongoing thing that I'm doing will hopefully make the chemotherapy easier on me than it was before. I do have to go online and order a wig because I will lose my hair again. I am praying that this round of chemo will get rid of the one tumor that has been hanging on and that I will go into remission.

Have a great day everyone.

Weight this morning 165.8 lbs making a weight loss of 6 lbs for month of October. FBG was 120. The weight loss was a surprise and so was the FBG being so high. However, it was really cold when I got up. I really wanted to stay in bed where it was so warm. The day has been crazy because I called to find out why we hadn't received our ballots and the guy didn't tell me when I called last week that we didn't have time to apply and get them. Since I figure I am starting chemo Tuesday, we had to go early vote today since this was the last early voting day. But we got it done.

Hope everybody has a good day today. We don't do Halloween, but hope everybody has a safe one who does.

This morning the scale was down to 179.6. Funny,but FB G was 120, same as yours, Trish,but it was good for me. Im usually highrr than that. i remember when Rennie posted with us she said Blood Sugar went up when weight went down.

We only had 10-12 kids for Trick or Treat so lots of candy and chips left over. The kids were all little ones. No older kids this year. My MIL used to say she got kids who looked like football players.

Today the temperature is 40 degrees. Now that November is here we wull not have any warm weather but we still see people wearing shorts. They wear them all through winter here.

Trish,I sent you an email.

Carol Sue I remember Rennie. I wonder what happened to her. I hope she is doing well. We are having cold weather here too. 68 will be out high today with chance of rain. Glad I have a couple of pair of pants I can wear round the house. I'm wearing them with socks etc to stay warm. Ready to have some chili and soups sometime in the near future.

Weight up almost 2 lbs, 167.2, but that always happens when we do LJ Silvers fish and I ate almost 2 fillets. I wasn't too hungry so didn't eat everything. In fact, I saved 1/2 the yogurt dish I usually eat for today. We will have the pork chops today that we planned on having yesterday. I like the bone in chops and he doesn't so I'm going to make him start buying thin for him and bone in for me and just freeze them individually. FBG was back down to 117 today. I don't like LJ Silvers because they are too greasy for me. I didn't exercise yesterday but did all of them today and even moved up from 5 minutes on the stationary bike to 7. Don't know when I will move up to 10. Hopefully sometime within the next 3 weeks, I can get back up to at least 10 minutes.

I got the results of my echocardiogram last night on the oncology portal. I am very happy that my heart is normal. It is nice to know I have no heart problems. I will be ready to start chemo if he will do it Tuesday, I hope we can get started so I can get done with it. I don't know how many chemo treatments I can get but I figure about 4 or 5 which will take me through this year. I have my goals and hope the doctor will agree. Still praying for the day I can ring that bell.

I hope everybody had day and weekend.

Yesterday the scale was 179.8,today179.6,so down. .2. I will always accept the smallest down. FBG was 102. I was very shocked but happy.

Trish, I too am glad to hear you have no heart issues. And praying for the day you can ring the bell. You have been through so much.

I really miss LJS since our local one closed. i used to get the chicken and DH got the fish. There are 2 in neighboring towns but too far for us to go for a quick dinner. I never understood why ours closed but I guess it was not profitable. There are rarely many customers at KFC but they stay open. The burger places get all the business.

Weight up to 180 lb but FBG back down to 107. So that was good. Not sure why the weight is up but I have to remember that has more to do with what I call the fluid from the tumor. I really don't look forward to going through chemo again, but I do so hope step son is right that it should get rid of the tumor and the doc says the fluid will go away as well. I just hope he will decide to get it started so we can get it over with. I would love to get back to losing weight normally again.

Not much happening here today. Dallas doesn't play till tomorrow night and DH will want to watch movies all day. That is about it for our day.

I know a lot of people are hurting right now and I hope everyone has a blessed day any way.

Scale keeps going down .2 each day. i'm not complaining. I'd like more but a loss is a loss.

I dont know what my belly fat is from but ive had it since my bowel surgery. I know they cut through my ab muscles to opeen me up so my ab muscle no longer holds anything in. I dont know if I will ever lose it.

DH wants to trade in my car. I just go along with what he wants. He said its going to start to nickle and dime us now so its time to get a new one. Its a 2021 and he wants a 2025. The prices are going down since the 2026 models are coming in.
