Good evening, all. Did you have a good day?

I was having a good day until I got mad when I checked my bgl at 4pm, and it was 101. So as I was eating my snack, I got to laughing at myself, because it dawned on me that with those surveyers around, and the surgery cases came out rather weirdly, I didn't get my morning snack until 11:30 and got sent to lunch at 12:10. Duh! Got to dinner a little late, so I will check my sugar just a little later tonight.

Got around to checking on avatars and trackers and found things I liked. The beach reminds me of the condos we own in Cancun that we rent out. Let me know if you want to go on vacation--just might have a place for you to stay! Ladybugs are special in my family. It's a long story for some other time, but suffice it to say that we know my dad is checking in when a ladybug comes around. They show up sometimes in places they shouldn't be (we had one in our car in Monterrey, Mexico on vacation in March visiting my husband's family) and they tend to show up at family events especially if the grandkids are involved (one rode to church on the new baby's christening gown right after dad died, and on christmas trees during the holidays). Found one in my bathroom the evening my son went back to school in Chicago last month. We told my mom that she had better send us as clear a symbol when she dies. She just keeps telling us to behave so she doesn't have to haunt us instead of being nice like dad. It wasn't easy getting that signature to work, and I had just been complaining about it on the other thread, when all of a sudden it popped up. It's got my short term Christmas goal on it. Of course, if I lose weight when I weigh in tomorrow, it could take me half the day to edit it!

brn, I am on Advair, and have never used any of the nebulizers. It doesn't seem to be affecting my bgl even on the higher dose or if I take it twice a day on vacation. If the bgl goes up, it is usually whatever bug has caused my asthma to worsen. But I have been on steroids for other reasons, and that is the worst. Not only does it jack up the sugar, I get severely depressed. The last time I was on steroids, my younger son was so upset because I had been sitting in the same chair, in the same clothes, staring off into space for 3 days straight and he had been taking care of his sister as best he could (she was 7 then and DH was out of town). Hadn't eaten, drank or been to the bathroom in all that time. Can't even use topical steroids for more that 3 days, or it starts to affect me. I know how it makes most people hyper, but not me.

Jillybean, I have been saying that for as long as I can remember, and have no idea where I got it from. Probably in middle school because I didn't like the ever-popular ones floating around. My other favorite is "that sucks raw eggs", from high school. It usually makes someone smile!

Jeanne, what was with all the blah blahs?

See you in the morning! Kathy

Morning . . . just a quick . . . we are in the midst of a thunderstorm and the lights keep thinking about quitting . . . hope to get back later.

may i join in???
I hope everyone has a great day. a little about myself: was diag in 06, followed the carb counting of 45 for each meal, 15 for morn/after snack, 30 evening snack, lost over 70#s. than doc decided since numbers were great a1c was 5.3 it was time to quit smoking, ok, did that (1 1/2 yrs now). put on about 20/25#s. than worked hard to take that off and was a struggle for a year, found out smoking raises metablism, so that went way down. than tore a ligiment and 2 tendens in ankle (1 yr ago) still healing. in may of this year had to have a bladder tack done, while they were in there they found i had a herniated bowl, and a the vaginal wall had fallen in. so had allot done. sugars running good, but have gone up. i was put on sit/bed/couch rest, don't lift over 10#s, no exercising, walking, nothing for 6 weeks, i had 2 doctors. had a 3 week checkup and was extended another 6 weeks, had a 6 week checkup extended another 6 weeks. so that brings me to today. i am going out of my mind and want so bad to be somewhat normal again. i want to get back on the treadmill so bad. i have been following sb for almost a week now. i think i like my carb counting better. most likely go back to that in time. number this morning was 113, normally it is in the 80s to low 90s. dh keeps telling me its not moving around. i can now walk around some, still have to watch it. that's my story in a nut shell.
just wanted to drop by and say high.

The more the merrier, I say, Chipper! And the more wisdom, the more it helps me.

I did good girls! A whole 5 lbs (the 3 I gained last week plus 2 more).

Was up a bit on the bgl before bed, 116, but that was probably the chocolate mousse at dinner at Applebee's. Thank goodness those dessert shots are small. 102 this morning, so that's good. Need to finish planning the rest of the day, but I needed to clean up the floors before the cleaning lady comes. It gets so messy when I work, 'cuz no one else picks up except DH.

Talk to you later
Kathy

Hi, all. Cool and hazy here. bgl was 160 this a.m. Ate very late last night. No plans for the weekend. it's Gay Pride weekend here so will stay away from all the crowds. Busy today, no time for personals. Welcome to newby. Have a nice weekend.

Hello to all and Welcome to the Newcomers,
I had a reading of 107mg/dL !!!!!!!!!!!! Wow I like that feeling! Usually never lower than 150ish and as high as 230ish. Maybe things are beginning to fall into place? Let's hope so!
We are headed to our cabin in TN in the morning and it will be Tuesday before I get back online. This one should be some more trip, I am taking my 3 dogs with me! I hope we will be bringing them back in the RV we are going to look over to purchase. Say a prayer for us this weekend.
I hope all of you have nice weekends as well!

OMG . . . another day of humid and stormy . . . and I hae a weather-induced migraine, swollen ankles, high BGL and an extra 1.5 pounds to show for it this morning. So far . . . not a great day . . .

PeggyJ--Wow! Good for you Hope it really is turning the corner for you. Have a good weekend, and be safe.

Meowee--I'm sorry you feel bad. I don't care where they come from, migraines are bad news. I only had hormone induced ones as the menopause thing was going on, and that was just about enough. Had one last week, though Put your feet up and hope it is better tomorrow.

The temperature isn't so bad today, but it is soooooo humid. Yck

How's everyone else doing? Have a great weekend, all.

Found this new tool in a magazine this week. Very nice, especially for travelling, and it is free (as in not a subscription). On your cell phone, you can write a text message to your favorite restaurant, nationwide chains mostly, and a food item--say, Wendy's small chili--and send it to 34381 (DIET1), and it will send you a message about the nutritional content of the item. I laughed when I first read it, because whoever wrote the article wrote the instructions backwards But I tried it the way I thought it should go logically and it works. I'm sure you have to pay whatever you normally pay for texting, but what a great idea when you're either on the road, or you wonder whether that Steak Gordita will fit in your lunch plans.

Dang, I had a question to ask, but now that I have started, I can't remember what it is. I'll post it later if I think of it.

Kathy

Good Morning . . .

Yes indeed . . . the headache is down to just a niggle today even though there has been no change in the weather -- instant replay of yesterday; but it is a little cooler. Still have the extra 1.5 pounds of water weight and the puffy ankles though, even though I did eat sensibly yesterday and the BGL is down to just "too high" at 7.7/139, rather than the "OMG high" of yesterday at 9.3/167. Will be slugging back lots of extra water today and doing a 5K on the Gazelle in the hopes of moving that sluggish water on out of me.

Hope the rest of you have a really great Sunday and are getting better weather than we are. . .

Howdy,,sunday and so dang hot you can't go out,,over 100 and I just don't do good in the heat,,bs are so high,,can't get it any lower than 170 or so ,,still have that blisster or spider bit or what ever on my foot am going in soon to dr..everything kinda sucks right now so hope it is better for everyone else,,later have a great sunday evening,,,Jeanne,,,

oh yeah I was going to ask if there are any ebay sellers out here,,and has anyone ever heard of the dave espion's learning package or if it is worth it ?,, thanks,,,

Hi there, Sugar-Babes,

No Jeanne . . . afraid I've never bought or sold on ebay . . . nor have I heard of Dave Espion . . . what is his 'package' about?

Yesterday worked out well for me -- the headache seems to have become a thing of the past this morning and I finally got rid of the water weight and got back to my 214.5 weight again. That gives me an average for June of 218.8 or another 3 pounds sent to ugly-pound-heaven. Of course, changing scales probably had a lot to do with it, but I've changed my ticker to reflect a new and lower decade at long last; so I really don't care how I got there, I'm claiming it. The bad news is that while the weight went down the BGL is back to "OMG".

Looks like we are going to get some "sunny breaks" today to make life worthwhile for all of those who booked off for a four day weekend. Officially the holiday is tomorrow, July 1. It is supposed to stay pretty sticky though and think I'll be sticking close to home and doing my exercising on the Gazelle again.

Hope everybody has a great Monday and decent weather for whatever you have planned. See you later . . .
