Trish, I hope your sister is ok. Is she still taking the GLP1 for weight loss? If so, that might have caused hrt problems. I will pray for her.
The scale is driving me crazy. It is at 176 today which is up .6 from Monday. Tuesday was a bump up. I dont know if I took my new med today. I took all my other meds but I didnt putvthe new one in my daily pill box. DH told me not to take it again in case I took it already. I guess I could count and see how many are left but I dont remember what day I started it. im out of control. we are going to the casino and i dont want to have a problem from overdosing on it. Better to just not take it.

Blood sugar is not good but ok for me.

Carol Sue I'm sorry you can't remember if you took the new medicine or not. I think it is wise not to take it going to the casino. Thank you for your prayers and I will keep you in my prayers today that all will go good with your meds. I have a container I put all my pills that I control in that I keep close to me. I have another one that DH does for me that stays the table that we both take of vitamins. Each morning, I have 3 small containers that I place morning, dinner and bedtime pills in by combining them. My recliner has a cup holders on both arm rests so I put those small containers there so I don't forget to take them. However, this morning, I wanted to take 2 Tylenol, but had to skip because I couldn't remember if I took them out of the bottle or not. I don't normally take them except as needed so it is easy to forget. I got the idea from when I took care of a lady before I married DH. Whoever took care of her before I did put her pills in different little China cups for her to take throughout the day.

I talked to DS last night and she was already feeling better. I got up this morning and she had accidently called me early this morning and she sounded really good She has a bladder infection which makes sense because was dehydrated. They will keep her one more night and she will go home tomorrow. It was so good to hear her cheery voice.

I think my weight stayed the same or about the same. It may have been .2 down but I don't remember. FBG was 110 but bp was good. I didn't track yesterday because I forgot, but I'm thinking I might not track for a while and see if I do better without. I'm bad about eating just to track even when I'm not hungry. So far today I've had a cup of coffee with my creamer and collagen plus a protein shake. We bought a KFC Special of 8 pcs of chicken with large slaw and it was about the same as when we buy 4 pcs and large slaw. So I have 4 pcs left so I'm going to heat it in either a chicken gravy or cream of chicken soup with a salad and yogurt.. Then I will probably have a protein shake for evening snack.

Have good day.

I forgot to weigh and post yesterday. I dont know where my mind has been!

Today weight was 177.2. Up a bit from 2 days,ago.

Things have been very interesting lately.

Carol Sue I wondered where you were and figured you might not want to continue the thread. Thought I would check one more time to see if we were continuing it. I'm kind of stuck with my weight and nothing happening there. I had a rough side effect this time after my infusion and haven't felt like saying anything.

Weight stuck at 175 which I guess I should be thankful it isn't going up. I the scale bounced, and I thought it was going to be 174.8 but nope, it settled on 175 yet again today. FBG is consistently 110 not budging there either. I keep hanging in there. DS had a UTI and dehydrated. They got her hydrated and overloaded her on fluids and had to take it off yesterday with Lasix shots. Her plan is to be moved today to the rehab place where her daughter works. It is one of those rehabs that gets you back to doing things on your own quickly. I hope she can do it as it would help her feel better about herself.

No plans here today. Just the same old thing.

Have a blessed day.
----------------------------------------------------
DS is at rehab and DN says she is better. That is good.

I am changing the way I eat. Oncology says my weight gain is okay, DD said maybe they take that as a good sign I am doing better, but 175 can so easily become 200. So I'm doing IE/IF again. Only this time I have my coffee in the morning and don't eat food till our 3 pm meal and then have a small meal around 5:30 to 6 pm. Trying to shake things up.

I want to continue the thread because we have been in touch for too many years now to stop. And it keeps me accountable with weighing, although other things that are going on are distracting me. You would not imagine in a million years.

Yesterday DH took a picture of me and step daughter. I was totally appalled when I saw it. I look horrible and have to do something about my weight immediately! I want to cry. Im glad he took the picture because it opened my eyes to reality.

Blood sugar is still too high, too, and I have to work on that, too.

Carol Sue I agree that we have been friends on here for years and I would miss hearing from you. It is also helpful to connect and encourage each other and even share our feelings. Sorry your picture made you feel so bad. I haven't had pictures taken, but I feel so fat. But we can get this under control again.

Weight down 1 lb to 174 today and FBG was finally down to 105. BP was a little low at 99/59. No wonder I felt like I was droggy. Feeling a little better after a cup of coffee. No breakfast. I got hungry once this morning but decided to drink my Crystal light drink and the hunger went away. I'm trying to change and eat dinner at 3 and a snack before 6 pm. That is what I did yesterday. I had an egg salad for a snack last night.

Today DH will cook a steak and I will eat a small salad and I'm thinking about stopping the salads when I am out of salad foods and just eat cooked veggies with protein each day. Part of my exercises are done and I want to get the others done before we eat dinner.

DS moved to Rehab home yesterday and starts her therapy today. I pray she will be able to do more than she thinks she can. Learning not to be afraid of falling would be a big help to her. I remember fighting that when I started walking and doing things for myself again.

Have a good day.

I think your plan is good, and I have to form a good plan for myself. I need to go back to eating meat every day for dinner. I usually have hot vegetables, too. Im not a big salad eater. I have to be in the mood for it.

Today we went to look at a dog at the local shelter. Someone got there right before us and adopted it. This is what happened before we got Rusty. We would be interested in a particular dog but someone else always got there before us. Im hoping a dog finds me. Im ready for a new one.Actually I will adopt any dog as long as its not big. I would prefer a dog that is not going to grow to be more than 20 lbs. The shelters always have a lot of big dogs, when they get a small dog in it goes fast.

Im glad your sister is going to get rehab. It will make her feel better. I always worry about falling, too.

Today the scale is 177.0. up .4 from 177.4. Blood sugar is gradually coming down to a better range for me. I think if I start eating a smaller eating window that will help FBG.

Yesterday we ate a rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. There is some chicken breast left over.

Today I think we will go to Texas Roadhouse. They have so many meals I like there. I think today I will order grilled pork chop.

Carol Sue I think you meant your weight is down .4 lbs from 177.4. A loss is a loss and I think you needed to see that. I'm glad your blood sugar is coming down. It may bounce but it is coming down. I'm not really sure what causes the blood sugar to go up and down. The timing may even be involved. My FBG was 105 yesterday and was 109 today. I'm not sure why. I would have thought it would have been 105 or less with what I ate yesterday. I'm thankful it was still less than 110.

We haven't been to Texas Roadhouse in years because it is across town and their music etc is so loud that it is uncomfortable to DH hearing since he wears a hearing aid. Since my treatments for cancer, we always get takeout instead of going out to eat.

Still have one more set of exercises to do for today. I'm feeling good today and was able to cut up some veggies I needed to clean and make ready to use quickly. I'm cooking liver and onions today.

Hope you get just the right puppy that needs your love. Have a blessed day.

Yes, youre right, my weight is,down .4. Better down than up!

Weight stayed the same today and FBG back down to 102. BP was good too. I'm thankful I'm not gaining at this point. I hope I can keep it going. Today dinner will be late because I have appointment for haircut and maybe perm at 3:30 pm. Not sure about the perm as I want to wear hair kind of straight now but maybe a little body. Not sure what we will eat. Either pizza or McDs CB.

Have a great day.

Weight this morning down to 172.6, FBG 96 and bp 114/65. This new way of eating is doing so well. I wanted breakfast this morning, but after seeing those numbers, I decided to continue eating the way I am except I did have my fruit around 11ish. There was a diet plan years ago that expected you to eat fruit before noon and then eat your other food between noon and 8 pm. I decided to try that as well. If it works fine, if not I will stop it.

Carol Sue Hope all is well with you.

Have a good day everybody.

Today my weight was 176, so still going down,little by little. cant get the blood sugar down to where it should be.

On Wednesday, DH won $1000 at the casuno so he wanted to go back today. Not good today. i thought Friday would be better than Wednesday. i really wish he would quit.

Weight stayed 172.6 all week making me a 1.4 lb loss this week. That is a blessing since I was sick the past 24+ hrs. I either ate something that made me sick or I picked up a virus. I couldn't get any relief until I threw up. I am thankful to be much better today. FBG was 112 when I was sick but was back down to 106 this morning. So I thought it was interesting that being sick made blood sugar to rise because of illness, because I lost everything I had eaten plus what I ate was OP. Obviously, there is more to this blood sugar thing than just what we eat.

Carol Sue That is good that your DH is winning again although that is going to make him want to go play more.

Switching back to breakfast today. I would like to eat my IF woe again and eat less often. Still like IE/IF woe just have to figure out how to follow it again.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

scale down to 176.2. Yesterday was 177. I lost 1 lb this week but it was fluctuating up and down all week.

FBG is,still coming down little by little. For an example, it was 167 today. Way high,but lower than it was. This new med is not worth the $150 per month that Im paying. I go back to the doctor in 3 months and if theres no improvement I will ask to be taken off.
