Carol Sue I don't know if our McDs offers McDoubles or not. We always get 2 Double CB with onions only and bring them home and add what we want on them. I usually switch mine to either 2 sl SLMG bread or a Thin round bread. We always share medium size fries. We will get takeout twice next week so one day will probably be McDs day.

I slept late and then slept when I moved to the living room. I drank a Protein shake for breakfast with a c of my collagen coffee. We are having steak for dinner and I will have a salad and veggies with mine. I have sandwich meat I need to use before it ruins and may have a sandwich this evening.

Weight was 158.2 today the same as yesterday and FBG was 109. Cough is a little better and I hope it will continue to improve. I did get all my exercises done today so that is good.

Sorry your casino trip wasn't good, but I will be surprised if DH won't go again. That would take a miracle. Hope you have a good day.

Trish, if DH wants to go to. the casino i will remind him he said he will go if he wins on Wednesday, and he didn't win. Thats all i can do. The only reason i likee to go is because i dont have to cook or eat dinner. One time i told him to go wwithout me and he said he would but he didnt and i wouldnt want him to.

I just looked over myFittness Pal for yesterday and remembered some things i didnt enter. i had 1700 calories. i never have that much. Today i had 1040. Another reason i gained is because G causes weight gain and ive been taking more lately.

Very good sleep. And the scale is down .6 to 184.4. I have to go back to being very strict with food and IF to get my weight back under control. That 185. really shook me to the core! For years i always,said that to lose weight i have to always feel a little bit hungry,and i have not been feeling that at all lately. Not "Im starving" hungry,but just aa little rumble in my stomach. During the time when i was gaining I was never hungry, and when i ate, i ate til i was stuffed. Also,I was constantly grazzing, eating between meals. its no wonder i fgained so much and ended up over 200 lbs. I cant go there again. That would be a very big disappointment to me.

Yesterday DH and i got haircuts. i needed one so badly. i looked like a wild woman. I coyldnt do anything to make my hair look nice. My regular girl still isnt back. she had surgery and was off on medical leave. i forgot to ask if she is coming back. They have a lot of new stylists there now. I had rhesame girl i had last time and she did very nice, so maybe she will be my new stylist now. Even DH said "it looks great!". DH doesnt have much hair left so you can rarely notice when he gets a hair cut! My former stylists always cutt my hair perfect,and Its hard for me to explain what i want. i let it grow pretty long in between cuts so it needs more than just a trim.

DH is mopping the kitchen floor. You know what that means! He is going to want to go to the casino. Im going to try my best to talk him out of it!

Remember i was going to get back to exercise this week? I did not. But i got a lot of walking in stores. My knee is hurting pretty bad, as it does when I do a lot of walking. I realky need my recumbent bike which helps my knee. This guy wants to go somewhere every day, and he wont go by himself.

We didnt go. He wanted to but i told him he said he would go if he won, and he didnt win. i ptefer Friday, vut if he chooses Wednesday then thats his choice.

Carol Sue I assume you are going to the casino. I hope it goes well for y'all. I'm glad you got your hair cut. I need to get mine cut too. Hopefully I will be able to do that within a week or so.

I woke up and got up around 8 am. By the time I got into the kitchen, I felt faint. Never fainted but sure felt like I might. Ended up sitting in my chair sleeping most of the morning. I'll be glad when I'm through taking this antibiotic.

Waiting to hear from DS. I heard from my DN and they took her Mom to the ER because she was having difficulty breathing and oxygen was low. I hope they will give her a small oxygen tank she can keep with her as she needs it.

BBL

No casino. I reminded him that he said he would go if he won and he didnt win we just watched tv

DS is being admitted into hospital to monitor oxygen which was down to 69 and hear fluid on lungs wondering if she has pneumonia. We won't go out there because I don't want to take anything to her and I don't want to get anything from hospital. She hopes to start her treatment Monday and I have one Friday. I pray DS will be okay.

Trish,i continue to pray for your sister. Its best if tou stay away for now and just talk to her on the phone, or communicate through BIL or DN.

DH got up early for some reason and i followed him out here. Hes making coffee but i wont have any because I will never get back to sleep. He can drink coffee and go right back to sleep,i dont know how. i slept good so far tonight but not long enough. i didnt take Benedryl but its too late to take it now. I'll sleep half the day if i take it now.

I'm reading another book now about exercise. Don't i know i have to do it, not read about it?

Today i want to go to Target. DH wants something from there and I can get my fish oil there that Walmart doesnt carry. Walmart called again thar theres a prescription to pick up and i need a few grocery items. Its. always something. Walking in the stores will help me, too.

Talked to DS this morning and they are going to drain fluid off her lungs today and if she does well, she will go home tomorrow. I pray that works so she can start her treatment Monday morning. I will plan to go to the infusion room and see her Monday while she has her treatment.

I will finish up my antibiotic Tuesday night. I'll be glad to be off of it as I think it makes me sleepy. I did get up and made myself French toast with bacon for breakfast. Not sure what we will eat for dinner. DH named several things such as chipped beef. So I believe that is what he will want. I'm making myself eat so that will be fine for me. We are going to the store Monday after we leave oncology and I will am thinking about getting some tv diet type of meals to eat on days when we don't want to cook. We are both tired of salads and I'm also thinking about getting some stir-fry meals we used to like.

Have a nice Saturday.

I too pray that things go well for your sister. Did they find out if she has pneumonia?

DH got a rotisserie chicken for dinner. i ate a normal serving but wanted to eat more. I wanted to dig in!

DH has been making french toast lately but he puts sugar on it. Not for me! I made my own breakfast today. i told him he doesnt have to do anything for me anymore, like cook breakdfast or back rub. That way he will accept no when he wants to go to the casino. His scrambled eggs are outstanding and mine are just acceptible, but its ok. I would give up outstanding breakfast to avoid the casino. In time my eggs will improve.

i didnt go to the store today. Maybe tomorrow. we usually go on Monday but tomorrow will be fine. i dont need a lot. We will still go to Goodwill for senior discount on Monday. Now that the strike is over I dont have to stock up on things. unfortunately, all the things I've been stocking up on DH has been eating for lunch! Its all things he likes.

My PCP appointment is Thursday morning. I will probably get my labs done on Monday. i hipe my A1c came down but i doubt it. He will change my meds but i can still work on it. This might be be my last appointment with him since hes retiring. I hate getting a new doctor. I dont especially like my doctor but ive been going to him for 30 years and we are used to each other. i can refuse things with him. I'll have to break in the new one. I hope he is at the same location.

DH went to bed so i guess i will too!

Carol Sue I also hate getting a new doctor. I wish I had a doctor on this side of town, but hate changing doctors.

I heard from DS and they drained the fluid off of her lungs and her breathing is much better. She will be going home tomorrow if all is okay and be able to have her treatment Monday.

I'm glad the teamsters settled things although I heard it is temporary. It will be helpful for all the people who were in the hurricane.

Bedtime soon. Goodnight.

Heard from DS and she will probably be going home today. She was waiting for the doctor to come in and sign her out. She said she had difficulty sleeping because she kept having cramps around the sight where they drained her lungs which they say is normal. They finally gave her a pain pill and she was able to sleep. She sounds good. I imagine when she gets home that she will crash to get ready for her first treatment tomorrow.

Weight was down 1 lb today, but it was 160 yesterday. FBG was 112. DH has pork chops out for our dinner today. I was hungry for cheerios and had a bowl of them with yogurt and my collagen coffee. They fed them to me in the hospital and I liked them. I have been hungry for it so much that I've even been dreaming of them. Crazy, I know.

We both have decided we want to stop eating salads. I want to get some tv dinners that I like. We will go to Sam's and then go to Walmart tomorrow. I will get some of the tv dinners that I like. I want to start eating cereal with yogurt for breakfast and whatever dinners we want to cook, however, for some of those days we don't want to coo, I want to have some tv dinners on hand. I might even plan to have a tv dinners on hand that I could eat during the evening so I can get more veggies in my eating plan. Of course, I also have my protein shakes on hand for when I need that too.

Hope everybody has a good Sunday.

Sleep was ok. ci slept til 3 am then got up for the bathroom. I didnt take Benedryl again because it was too late. c i would have slept too long. I tossed and turned thinking i would not get back to sleep. i went to the bathroom again at 5 and came back in and the next thing i knew it was 9 am.. I had fallen back to sleep right away. So a toctal of 7+ hours sleep.

I didnt weigh yesterday. Friday i was 184.4. and today i was 183.4. So1 lb in 2 days.

We went to Target and got a few things. Then to Walmart for a few more. When walking thru frozen food i spotted a single serve Sttauffers Spaghetti. i bought it since i havent had spaghetti for a while. I ate it when we got home for brunch as i hadnt eaten yet. I didnt like the sauce. I was surprised. Sauce is sauce. But i wont buy it again. it was an impulse buy. Im going to start making it again,maybe once a month. DH said he will eat it but not every week. i can also get it when we go to Rodneys. its high carb so i have to limit it.

I think my BIL would be better off eating some frozen dinners instead of the junk he eats but he wont listen to anyone. I think he told DH that he gained weight again.

The Steelers play at 8:00 tonight so DH will be up late. i dont know if i will stay up for it or not.

I hope your sister does well at home. She should sleep better and feel better.

Trish, if DH is planning to watch the Dallas Cowboys game i want to let. you know they are playing the Steelers here in Pittsburgh. we are getting severe storm warnings so its likely the game will be rained out. They are giving tornado warnings. Yikes!!

DS is home. I text to see if she got home and she said her DS was there visiting so she hadn't called. He had just left. I figure she will rest now.

Dallas and the Steelers play tonight so I will get my shower done before the game and hope I can stay awake for the game.

Carol Sue I have bought spaghetti tv dinners before, but I prefer homemade too. As for tv dinners, I like Swiss meat balls and some of the rice dishes that DH doesn't care for. I would love to eat some of the junk foods too, but I'm afraid to buy them because I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop eating or buying them. Just can't bring some things into the house.

I read an article this morning of a woman who said she quit weighing and started eating what she wanted but still ate healthy and lost weight. I wonder sometime if I don't think about this too much.
