Hi all. I made it through the weekend, but it was rough. Physically, I was okay, but psychologically I was wanting to continue with my usual weekend food fest. But I didn't. Wish I had all those hobbies you have, Rosey. I have a lot of time on my hands now that I'm not shopping and eating or going out to eat. Sigh. The only thing I'm concerned about now is my blood sugar. The fasting sugar has gone up considerably since I stopped taking Actos and Glucotrol. I may want to go back on it, although I need to be careful about getting low blood sugar. It's especially frustrating since I worked hard to get it down.
How are the rest of you doing?

hi everyone we are having beautiful weather. wish i enjoyed it more i am having a bad depression problem otherwise i am in a holding pattern. go to dr, in three weeks maybe i canget some help.
oldest son moved back in the area from kentucky that has got me running plus he is an excellentcook tomorrow he is having us for stuffed pork nchops this is going to make it tough on food choices.
well no sugar sounds like things are going well for you.
rosey i know about the blood draw can't find my veins.the girl almost runs when she sees me. try drinking lots of water before test that helps a little. also take some glucose tablets so if you are shakey you can bring sugar up fast till you get to eat.
rosetta that fast really sounds interesting i wish something like that was offered around here.
catch you all later. pat

Hi. Just a quick note to say I've lost 11.8 lbs on the fast. I know I won't lose this much in future weeks but it's a good start. Today I'm a little down and missing food. Have been hallucinating sauerbrauten for some reason Pat, I hope your depression subsides. I have problems with it myself.
Nosugar - I hope you get that job.

I have been depressed over money and now my sis may be losing her 4 yr battle with cancer. Both our parents died of cancer and Joyce is my only sibling.
When mom got sick I ate so much I gained 40 lbs. I don't see me doing that especially with different meds and other vit I take .
My sugar is nuts right now. Found out the natural sugar in my tomatoes was most of it. I think, 35 cals med tomato-right? So I was nibbling roma and other tomatoes all thru the day.
Doc is working closely with me to get it under control. It was 355 at 9pm one night, so i took 1/2 pill and called him next day.
Cut back sharp on tomatoes. Got the pressure canner out to deal with some of the temptation. Trying to keep busy and will go visit my sis for several weeks. She is on very strick organic foods plus herb vitamins.
Nosugarmomma-have you been tested for sleep apnea? I wear a c-pap mask so I get more room air to keep my throat open. It can cause lots of probs-stroke-heart attack-high blood pressure. They found mine after a mini-stroke.
Will keep a better eye on my numbers.
Praying for a good day for all of you.

i dont eat salt. it just the sodium in the foods i eat. my mom dont cook my food with salt or butter.

Hi,
My sugar is 2pts lower each morning.Today it was 209 and I had lost a pound. I am now 268. That is 11 pounds from my highest weight. I felt like my cuz that told me- he keeps losing the same ten pounds over the years.

I have new hope of getting my figure found-even if it sags a little.
Maybe I better join the weight lifters thread too.
Have a blessed day.

Hi there
Had the nibbles today-thought someone might show up to see the tiller I have for sale so stayed downstairs and home and too near the kitchen.
Doing better on the stress. I am 58 and have diabetes 2, high BP, some
Arthur's itis in my feet, one ankle and one knee, carbul tunnel, neromas of the feet and some tingling, restless legs, sleep apnea and a hiatal hernia-oh yeah- I'm OBEASE too. Just a few things-surprised even me when I wrote it down-oops forgot asthma.
There's hope! Need to more and run from the kitchen.
Hit the old lady change( ) years ago. Take herb stuff now for it.
Hope all of you are doing well today and that tomorrow will be even better for us all.
