Hello lovelies. Still around just had a rough week at work. Need a darkened room and a glass of wine!
Snow has hit us, and I hate it because it means the roads get crazy and I don't like to drive. Weekend for me though, so should feel renewed again

Exactly! Thank you! Things are starting to click again and it does feel good to be in control and moving the right direction again. I think it helped that I erased my old ticker/signature and essentially gave myself a clean slate. Rennie's e-mail about getting us all back together was perfect timing and helped get me pointed in the right direction again. Yesterday I looked at some old posts (like this: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/100-...niversary.html) and it is frustrating to see how far backwards I slid, but I didn't dwell on it. I was surprisingly excited to see the 30s again . . . whereas before when I tried to restart I wasn't finding any joy or anything with losses because I still felt like I was in the negative and had the "I've already seen this number but I screwed it up" kind of attitude. Not any more. Every healthy choice is a victory. Every pound is a victory. Every time I check my blood sugar and it's within the normal range (or close) is a victory. No more blood sugars in the 300s or 400s. I go back to the doctor for a diabetes check on March 8 (50 days from today). My goal is to be as close to the teens as possible (or in them) by then, because I know if I am then my blood sugars will have been in a good range.

Here comes the snow! with all the rain we've been getting i so hope the weight of the snow and ice doesnt pull trees down and we lose power to boot! the scale has chosen to be good to me and it's gone DOWN another pound! 194 thats 38lbs gone and 44 to go! gotta love the "whooshes"! ladies have a wonderful day!

Well we got lucky only ended up with less than an inch of snow/ice! Dd is on a 2hr school delay. The sun is pose to shine today, sunshine would b a wonderful n much needed change! Rennie i remember all 2 well the snow 2yrs ago! We had to hike outa here to road to get friends to take us to their home til power came back (week later). My coffee pot is calling me so u ladies have a wonderful, motivated, op day!

Thank you. My sugars have been really good and I've cut way back on the amount of insulin I'm taking. Actually, most days I'm not taking any with my meals (I probably should still take a couple of units). I'm still taking my bedtime insulin (Lantus, which is a 24 hour slow release insulin). I also take Metformin twice a day. According to my tester, my average sugar for the last 2 weeks is 150. I know that is still above normal, but it is a huge improvement and I am having a lot of sugars in the normal range. I really can't decide if I want to completely cut out the mealtime insulin and see what my A1C is on March 8 or take a low dose with my meals. It actually makes me nervous to take mealtime insulin because I'm afraid of the crash. My doctor would not approve of no insulin, so whatever I do, I'm not gonna tell him until after I see the test results.

The Sun Is Shining!
didn't do my elliptical in the gym today cuz ima do extra walking outside which im sure the dogs won't mind at all lol! WOW seeing the sun has sure made me feel better!
2maro pose 2 b 50 n sunny i may actually get to perk up my color abit which will make me feel even better and more energized! U ladies have an awesome rest of your day!
OH WAIT... my workout pants r so baggy on me that they look like im carrying a "load" so i just tried a pair of my dd's on to get idea of a size i need and umm well shes in a size 7-9 and they fit me awesomely (not sure if thats a word but sounded good lol)! just this past july i was wearing a 1-2x workout pants, sweats, shirts and such! YEA!!!

Happy Saturday! Have a great day. I hit 10 lbs today (236.8). Woo hoo! Wondering if it's possible to see the 220s this month? Not gonna put any pressure on myself though - gonna just keep doing what I've been doing and see what happens.

slowly losing. 206.0 this morning. had that interview yesterday at texas children's...didn't go that well to be perfectly honest but I learned from it. I had fun today but will be right back at it tomorrow.

Resting the rest of the night.

Rennie ~ Glad to see the scale moving for you. Enjoy your visit with your mom. Have a great day.

I was way under my calories yesterday and didn't sleep very well, am down .2 today. I woke up starving and with a low blood sugar (70). After a delicious green smoothie (about 300 calories), I'm still starving so not sure how the day will go - lol.

Have a great day!

Closing in on the 20s . . . I went over my calories yesterday but still had a deficit. I got in about 20 minutes of hula hooping last night so that helped me reached my calories burned target for the day.
