Hi there, sugarbabes . . .

Josian . . . glad to see you back, we missed you. :hug:

Rosetta. . . glad you are feeling a little calmer and hope the exercise reduces your stress a bit. :hug:

Nova Scotia weather is uncertain today . . . a little sun, a little cloud, a little more humidity . . . and calling for quite a bit of rain over the next few days. :(

Personally, things are a little brighter . . . it's my normal www and I've been able to move my ticker another 1.2 pounds to the east. AND, that puts me into a new decade. Not by much, mind you, but it is nice to see just the same. :D

Hope you all have a great day. Keep moving and shaking, gang. See you soon. :carrot:

Hi, all. Up about 2 lbs at the official weigh-in last night. Have to get back on track. I really want to start losing weight again. I have a painful corn that's curtailing my lunchtime walks and can't get to the podiatrist until the end of the month. It's still sunny here with temps about 70. Usually the warm weather escalates until the fog rolls in but we've been having steady sunny mild weather.
Meowee - congrats on the weight loss! Rosey - I guess the rain will keep you in doing your chores.
Off to the gym tonight. I haven't figured out yet to see if it's doing anything since I don't break too much of a sweat. I should have had someone measure me when I started to see if I'm losing inches.

Hi all. wanted to share a new recipe..my neighbor got a new vita mix machine and made this soft serve ice cream in it for me "yummy" but i dont have a400 $ fancy dancy machine so i revised it for a reg blender..i just loved it..into the blender one container of light vanilla yougart..1T coffee creamer..1/2 c.lofat milk..1 pkg slpenda( she used honey)..2 lg spoonfuls of sf coolwhip..1/2 bag frozen sf fruit(iused blueberries)blend on high till smooth.. you can eat it like it is or refreeze for a firmer texture..i made these last night on even my dh liked it..you can use whatever frozen fruit you like..its similar to the ww milk shake but this uses no ice and makes a thick soft serve type ice cream..try it..and its healthy:dizzy: (((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

Hi all.

Talk about strange numbers. Went into my LEEP surgery this morning, was all ready to go, and my BG came back 397. Needless to say, they cancelled it and I got lectured. It was okay yesterday. Must have been the combination of the stress of surgery and the pizza that I obviously didn't take enough insulin for.

Ack. Rescheduled for in office on the 14th. I'll deal with local anesthetic.
A bit bummed out because of it. I need to snap to and get on with it, and get serious ALL THE TIME about my diabetes regimen. This waxing and waning stuff doesn't cut it.

ok, i'ts actually thursday night still...but i'm ready to be done...DONE with work..I'm, working on some very sad cases..i follow catastrophic cases for an insurance company and a couple have me worn out ...

Ready for the weekend..but this weekend..i have to buckle down and organize my mother's papers..i'm the executor of her will ..she passed last summer..and would just feel better having it organized. i have to go down and finalize the will in a couple of weeks.The trip will be brightened by a swing by a casino for a couple of days with my sister ...and it will be good to spend time with her ...but it 's a trip I'd rather not have to take...and it will be a test of my new eating plan.

Ate out at Applebees tonight and dh wanted ice cream..i gave in and had a small scoop. It had been a day where i'd missed a snack and also had a treat coming...the jorge cruise plans has you eat 3 meals with 2 snacks and a treat...i was swamped with work and couldn't keep up with the plan.
And tomorrow is weigh in day for me...

we'll see..i had dreams about scales the other night--weighing once a week is better for my emotions but is obviously affecting me..

Rosey ..will have to try that recipe out..would be healthier than what i had today..

Happy Friday everyone!!!!

WT loss disappointment...
 

Friday June 9--checking in ..and it really is friday now......today is weigh in day...weighing puts me in to tail spin mode..i'm either not losing enough or gaining or even if i lose a lot..obsessed with plotting how to lose more....

my wt is almost exactly the same as last week if not a 2/10 of lb more..
i'm really shocked because i've been working out.. and following the plan as best as I could..I'm trying to tell myself.." you probably lost inches, or gained muscle from exercising daily / resistance training, etc" After the first week on the plan i lost about 11 lbs...now at week 3 i'm still at that same loss...i also tell myself..well it must be that the wt loss is still within the guidelines jorge talks about...but it's just very frustrating...


fbs after having the ice cream last night is 140..slightly up.....dinner was a good meal for me though ..Applebees has weight watcher menu...had broccoli, 1/2 cup rice pilaf, and steak stewkers...

would like any advice or suggestions..thanks

Just a quick Hello . . . Nova Scotia is stuck under an extreme low-pressure bomb and I'm having the worst migraine I can remember this year. The low pressure is supposed to hold for the whole weekend and boy I really hope the headache doesn't. This is the pits. And it doesn't do good things for the BS either.

Anyway, just letting you know I'm thinking of you, gang. See you later and I hope it's soon. Right now I can't stand the glare off the computer screen any longer. :carrot:

Hi all!

:hug: Meowee, I hope the low pressure system moves out soon. Those headaches can sure be the pits!

I'm doing better today. I had to wallow in self-loathing yesterday, but I snapped out of it this morning. My blood sugar is still bouncing off the walls, enough that it's too high to excercise. Hopefully, if I bring it down enough tonight I can go to Curves. I've been bad and haven't gone for a week, due to being in Boise then this funky rut that I'm in. Well, I better get crackin'.

Hugs,

morning everyone..still raining here..the dh and some guy friends are going to the cabin today for a guys night out..i was up early and made muffins and coffee for them.. they should all be here soon..my dd and gdd and I are going to do errands and go garage sailing..moongoddess dont give up.. your weight will drop when u least expect it..i too lost fast at first and then nothing for several weeks and then dropped a few lbs more.. just keep doing the right things and it will work..frustrating i know as thats how my body works..meowee and so sry for the headache hope u are tiptop soon..josian hope the funkys go away..hello to everyone.. dont forget to smile today(((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

Hi. I was recently diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. I was hoping to find some folks who have similar problems and can give me some support and guidance in learning to control my glucose levels. I am 53, and have been overweight since my first child was born 28 years ago. I struggled with being insulin resistant for years before I finally was not able to keep up with my insulin needs and became full blown diabetic. I find it particularly difficult to lose now that I am taking Amaryl, and Metformin. I exercise every day, for about 30 to 45 minutes, and eat a low glycemic diet. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Morning everyone..:coffee2: i was up early this am..sometimes i find it hard to sleep when im alone..anyways i was up with the birds and had peaceful cup of coffee and watching the cooking shows..thats not such a good thing for a dieter:dizzy: i did do errands yesterday but before that my dd and i repainted my kitchen,dining and hallway floors..we painted ourselves right out the door..i have an unfinished log house.. and want new flooring in the worst way but not in my budget right now..and the paint makes it all look new and fresh..so another step to getting ready for company..later today mydd and grdd will help me put all the furniture back as its now stacked in the living room..welcone Totoro..youve found the right place.. we all try and support each other here..im rosey from alaska..i take glybazide and metformin..my sl are almost normal now but really have to watch what i eat ..i follow ww with lower carbs..some of us here find it hard to loose on our meds and im sure they can advice u too..meowee hope the headache is gone.. and josian are the funky's gone for you..rosettta hows the stress is it any better..hello mr ken..and all the other nice folks that post here..have agreat day everyone and dont forget to give away your smiles ((((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

Its a beautiful cool day here. Went to Farmer Market this morning and got a few plants. Just waiting for a cake to come out of the oven,one of the few mixes that doesn't have milk products in it. Our granddaughters are coming over tomorrow. Have to get busy and clean after the cake is done.

Everyone have a great weekend.
