I just logged in here on the small tablet that i use at the casino but I wont know if the password saved until I log out
I logged out and it saved the password so I could get back in. Yay!

Carol Sue I'm glad all your gadgets get on 3fc now. I hope the small one works at the casino.

My treatment went very well today and afterwards we went shopping and I didn't get exhausted shopping like I usually do. I think eating keto is making me feel better. If DH DSIL and her Hubby come see us Monday or Tuesday, I am going try going out to eat with them.

I told my NP about DS going into Hospice and she said her Dad went into Hospice before he lived in it for 3 yrs before he died. So I guess it is really true that it doesn't always mean death. I had planned to go see my sister this weekend, but I'm not sure she wants to see me because she doesn't even talk to me when I call to check on her. I wonder if she understands that hospice doesn't always mean she is going to die soon. So I decided to just pray for God's will to be done for her. Thanks for praying for her. I appreciate it.

Now it is time for me to take a nap.

Yesterday ended up being a good day because DS called me and she sounded very good. She chose to go into hospice to get the help she needs so she doesn't have to go in and out of the hospital all the time. She said she had so many different doctors giving her so many different advice that it became confusing. Of course, I went through that after I had my surgery and was in chemotherapy in the beginning. I finally got to the place that I told DH that I was not going to the hospital anymore. Now I'm doing very well. I tell you it sure feels great to know she isn't giving up. We are just trusting God to do what is best for her.

Weight this morning down another lb... 167 lbs this morning. FBG was 105 and keto reading 0.9. That reading should get better as I slowly get keto woe into the lower carb even keto woe.

Have a nice day everyone.

Trish,I am so glad you are feeling better about your sister. Maybe she will do better having the help coming to her house instead of going to the hospital. I will conntinue to pray for her and for you!
Im glad you are continuing to lose. I continue to gain, up to 179.4 from 178.4 yesterday. i guess im really enjoying my eating these days.

I might cook a beef roast tomorrow for dinner. I bought it this week and didnt freeze it. I will cook it in thr pressure cooker which wont take long, with carrots, if I have any. Maybe I can go to the local store in the morning if I dont have any. They are only 1 mile from my house.

We are having a heat wave which I believe is hitting the whole country. Temps will be in the high 90s the next few days which seldom happens here in PA. Especially in June. We occasionally get it in July or August. So cooking it in the pressure cooker will not only be faster, but wont heat up the house like cooking it in the oven. DH says the meat is more tender cooked in the pressure cooker because its cooked with steam. I will brown it in a frying pan first. Right now DH has the air condition a little too cold for me. If I put a throw over me he will turn the air condition down.

I soon have to get back to my exercise which wull help with blood sugar and also weight. Im just too lazy right now.

I am very glad Im getting 3 Fat Chicks on all my tablets. I still have to get it on my phone, I think.

Talk more later.

Today the scale is up .2 to 179.6. Too close to 180 for comfort. Im eating too many carbs,I know. DH and his potatoes. Also,last night I got out of bed to eat a half sandwich. I never do that. Once Im in bed,,eating has stopped for the day. But I knew the deli meat was there and I could hear it calling me. Caaaarol, Caaarol! I sure hope thats not another bad habit starting! I know oif I take a Lasix the scale will go back down. But thats not true weight loss.

My weight is up 1.2lbs to 168.2 and and keto reading 0.7 mg/dl FBG 111. All that is probably due to the fact that I chewed 2 chewable turmeric last night before I went to bed. I won't do that again. In fact, I've been taking chewable cranberry for bp, but not sure I will keep that up either. If I do, I will make sure it is taken with a meal unless it interferes with ketone reading. I definitely want to have a stronger reading. I read on line that it needs to be between 0.5 to 2 and could even be up to 3 is safe. However, I don't it should read 3 all the time. So my goal is to get it between 1 and 2 all the time. So will be adjusting things to get it there. I have decided to go back to using Almond milk when I'm finished with my 2% lactose-free milk.

Carol Sue I am sorry you were hungry during the night. Dr. Fung was on a video with Dr. Berry. He was discussing the Cancer Code book. Later DH was watching Dr. Fung suggesting what to eat. On his plan you don't do keto, you just eat some of the healthier foods like fruits etc and then IF. You eat only when hungry. In fact it reminded me of the IE woe along with IF. I think this must be the way Dr. Amy who is 7 yrs cancer free from Stage 3 Ovarian cancer eats. She eats vitamin C fruits and veggies. He and she allows oatmeal too. You might want to check out his videos on how to eat. I want to start out with Keto and maybe work into Dr. Fung's woe. My first goal is to be cancer free and ring that bell. Then I could move into Dr. Fung's woe similar to Dr. Amy woe for maintenance and prevent ever having cancer again.

I was talking to my daughter yesterday and she never liked it when we had to tell someone I was her stepmom. She asked me yesterday if I had ever heard of a step-in-mother. Of course, I haven't. She said that is a mother who chose to step in and be a mother when the birth mom decided to step out. I have to say that I like that. I probably never would have felt the way I do about my kids, but when their mother decided to leave and didn't want to see the kids again for 10 years it was easy for me to become Mama to them. I thought of you stepping in to Mom's position with your kids too. My son calls us Mom's of the heart.

Have a nice Sunday.

Trish,I did not eat during thenight because I was hungry. I was not hungry. I was just thinking that the deli ham was out there and I wanted it.

My beef roast was very good today. I dont know why. It was a chuck tender roast, which I did buy once before. It was small plus it shrunk from cooking. I thought we wiuld eat it all but we didnt. He wont eat leftovers and we dont have a dog to eat it. I sprinkled it with garlic salt and browned it in oil, then cooked it in the pressure cooker with beef broth. 90 minuted and it was falling apart. I didnt cook potatoes but cooked carrots, broccoli and peas. Maybe I will eat the leftovers tomorrow.

My step son has always called me Mom, but step daughter calls me Carol. She never liked me to say I was step mom because she didnt want people to know her parents got divorced. Their mother wanted them, but sent them for a visit over Christmas but they refused to go back. She told them she could make them go back in court, but David told her "If you make me come back I will make your life miserable.". So she did not go to court. It was supposed to be joint custody but they were in PA and she was in California. They refused to go there, then she died.

Who is the father of your kids? Which husband?

Trish, Ia think eating only when hungry just makes sense. But we got into the 3 meal a day routine. Its hard for DH and I to both be hungry at the same time. I eat breakfast but he doesnt usually. He usually wants lunch but I dont, but I often eat some of his lunch. He wants the big meal at 4 pm, but if I eat lunch then Im not hungry. When the kids were here I rarely ate dinner. Thats how I controlled my weight. Now Im out of control.

Carol Sue DH#2 was the Dad of the step kids that I raised. When we dated, his kids thought they were dating me too. They were so cute the way they would dress up for me.

DH DSIL and her DH are coming to visit us tomorrow. They live in FL but she has prayed for me all through this cancer walk. I look forward to seeing her. We had planned to take them out to the steak house, but not sure if we will be able to go or not. I've had potty issues all day. I really hope we can go to the steakhouse so I can stay keto woe. If not we are going to order a pizza. So I will have to do a OMAD if I eat pizza.

I watched Dr. Fung today. I don't think he recommended fruit, but he does recommend whole grains eaten within an 8 hr eating window and fasting at least 16 hrs. If I do just IF, I have to eat only 2 meals a day and fast at least 19 hrs in order to lose weight. To get my BS down, I have to do keto or low carb.

I called DS tonight and she sounds very good and her whole attitude has changed and she is wanting to live. What a blessing. Thanks for the prayers.

Yes, I prayer for both DS and you. I hope my prayers played aa part in her change of attitude. I also pray for POTUS and Elon Musk every night, too. And the safety of their families. I know that those who want to hurt them can do so by going after their family members.

Today the scale was up to 181.4. Time for action! I do NOT want to go back to 200 lbs! Ever!

My new friend and I talk about meeting someday. I dont know how that will ever happen. But I want to be thin!

The day that DHs kids came back to live with him, I went to the airport with him to get them. They flew alone without adult supervision, age 9 and 11. The srewardess looked after them and didnt let them leave the plane until they saw their Dad. When they took me back to my apartment Step daughter said she thought I lived with Dad. I started staying overnight on weekends so they. were not disrupted but I didnt want them telling people I stayed overnight. Eventually I moved in. That was in 1977. We married in 1981 after their divorce and custody was settled. We sold that house, split the money with his ex and bought this house. In 1989 his ex died from cancer. When the kids came to live with him they were only to stay til the school year was done. He didnt tell me he had no intention of sending them back to California. Eventually they told DH they didnt want to go back. Next time they talked to their mother they told her they werent coming back, and they never did. They went to visit her in 1981 and that was the last time they ever saw her. Step daughter misses her but step son never mentions her. They told grandson about her but I dont think he understands because I am Grandma. I dont think he understands that I did not give birth to his Dad. Thats OK. If she was still alive it would be different.

Carol Sue I believe prayers are so important and I believe your prayers were/are important and I appreciate them. I pray for you and your family every day just as I also pray for the POTUS. Elon and others to be safe. Yesterday I told DD about the year President Kennedy was killed. It is one of the things I will never forget and we don't need another one of those experiences again. Seems like there is more and more to pray about these days.

Weight is the same as yesterday. Funny thing is that when I got ready to take my bedtime pills, I realized I never took my Lasix and it was too late to take it. I sometimes wake up and don't make it to the potty before starting to leak so I sure don't want to take Lasix too late in the day. So the weight is a true loss. FBG was 105 and Keto reading was 1.0 mg/dl. Now that I have a better pb machine, I get good steady readings. They aren't too low. 123/55 this morning is pretty good.

I heard from DH DSIL last night and they will be here sometime today. Still don't know if they plan to stay the night. If they do stay over, they usually get up and are gone before I get up. I think we are just going to order a pizza so there is no way today will be a keto day. I will immediately get back to it tomorrow. I want to be able to make this flexible and if Dr. Fung is right, the fasting part of IF is what is going to help all this work too. So I will eat the pizza and enjoy the company and when I am through with the pizza, I will go straight into my fast until tomorrow and keep my 16 to 19 hr fast afterwards.

Have a great day.

Scale is down only .2. 181.2. I want a true loss,too. I think I will make tacos today. I was going to make them yesterday but we had a lot of deli meat so we just ate sandwiches when we came home from Walmart. DH has been wanting Taco Bell tacos but I only like home made. If we ever get Taco Bell I will get a Burrito instead.

I am texting with someone who says she is Melonia Trump. Everyone says she is a fake. I wonder. She only texts about once a week and mostly talks politics. She asks me what I think about things but I dont follow a lot of politics.

I hope you and DScontinue to improve. Enjoy your company.

Weight today 167.6 lbs and that was after eating 2 sl of pizza and we ate late because our company got here much later than we usually eat. We always eat by 3 pm and they got here around 6 pm. FBG was 110 which I am sure was the pizza + late eating it. The big surprise for me was that my ketone reading was 0.8 mg/dl which is good since my goal is 0.5 to 2.0. I read yesterday of people keeping their keto reading around 0.8 and losing weight. One person said that hers ran between 0.8 and 2 depending on what she eats. So evidently that is the way to look at it. I attribute the good ketone reading to the intermittent fasting. DH had a bs drop reaction last night to 67 and had to eat some fruit to bring it up.

I am low carb today although not necessarily keto because I eat toward the ratio that I heard about carbs lower than fat and protein, but fat a little higher than the carbs plus I watch my calories and try to keep them no higher than 1400. It obvious works for me so I am very happy with this woe.

Carol Sue I'm glad you got a drop in weight. A loss is a loss. I hope you can find the woe that works for you and fits your lifestyle. I don't think you have to follow some diet others say follow. I heard one of the doctors that I follow on line say that it is best to check out different diets, but pick the one that fits your lifestyle that you can stick with.

Today I am cooking shrimp scampi, but we eat just the shrimp without any kind of pasta.

Got to get my exercise done as I've been slack on that lately. I want to get back to it.

Have a great day.

Scale is up to 182.2. Getting closer to 200. This cannot happen. Thce upward trend has to stop. I think the deli meat is causing this because im eating sandwiches as snacks. I ate 2 tacos at dinner and was satisfied. But when I went in to clean up I ate one more and that took me to stuffed! I should have thrown it out. I have to get a dog to eat our leftovers. They dont look good on me.

We are going to the casino today.

Weight was up .2 lbs 167.8. FBG 105 and ketones 0.8 and steady bp.

I didn't even get my coffee drank or eat breakfast. Day didn't go as planned because I got a call from my niece's hubby telling me DS had taken a turn for the worse last night and it didn't look good. So I told him I would DH up and head that way. A few minutes DN called crying and told me Mama is gone. So I got DH up and we went straight over there. DH had to go get DBS after we got their because her DH had gone to the VA for meds. We were waiting for the funeral home to come get her body and we wanted DBS to get there before they came to get her. Strange how that feels like you are saying good by even they aren't there. We all visited for a while and then I insisted we all leave and let her daughter, husband and SIL rest as they hadn't had sleep in over 24 hrs. I know where she is and I know she no longer suffering and I am at peace with this. As Daddy told a man who asked him how he could deal with Mama's passing and Daddy said "I didn't have a choice".

We got McD's CB on the way home and I didn't bother to take the bun off like I usually do. So probably am out of keto.

Carol Sue I hope your trip to casino is a good one.

I'm ready for a nap.

Bless the Lord. I checked my calories and carbs on MFP and although I was not keto, I was low carb and calories were around 1100 macros balance was good. So damage won't be too bad.
