CAT you have to find away to keep yourself tracking. Like you said you have to do it. Your body is telling you something. Go for it take charge of it, Track it. HUGS Pat
MOOOW Good to see you are here again, I am doing great I just had a 3 day visit with a Spark Friend it was such a good time. We had rain but it did not deter us at all. I am walking still. Next week I will be slowed down for a bit so I must get the yard organized by then. I am happy to see you back HUGS Pat.
BARB, I am actually feeling so energized right now. So much to do so much light is amazing how well jt makes me feel. I am tracking my foods in groupings again and that is the only part if this site I can handle 100%. I have some more yard work to do so I am hoping over the weekend I can get to it. HUGS Pat in Maine.

135 BS Yesterday: 8:00 AM at neurologist's for follow-up from last Thursday's TIA and hospital ER visit. 12:30 - 3:00 p.m. to and from internment of next door neighbor and DFW National Cemetery. Beautiful ceremony for Jerry but drove through severe thunderstorms after. 4:00-6:45 pm - attended city council's planning meeting and the swearing in ceremony for the new city council members. Worked hard to get complete change on Farmers Branch city council. Great day for Farmers Branch, 6:45 - 9 pm officiated at an AAUW dinner for our scholarship recipient at Nuevo Leon Restaurant. Tried to hold the carbs and Kcals down but the late night dinner did not help the blood sugar today. Now I get to finally rest for several weeks. Good time to start the Spark Solution Challenge and get a handle on my exercise and carbs. Pris

thanks 1CRAZYDOG. I awoke this morning feeling terrible. i was nauseated and just felt terrible. I went about my chores but the nausea kept building. I finally ate 2 Rolaids and drank some water. By the time breakfast was ready i was feeling better. I think all my bad eating has finally caught up with me and was telling me enough is enough!!! For the first time in I can't remember when, i was unable to finish my breakfast. That's not like me at all. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I usually thoroughly enjoy it. Not today :(
Today I MUST make some changes, my lfie depends on it!!

FBS 130 A bad eating day yesterday. I wrote a blog about it and got some good feedback. If you want to read it and give me any ideas/suggestions please feel free to do so.
Got in 60 minutes of walking at Walmart yesterday. That was pretty good. Today is shopping day so i can do some more walking.

FBS 91... At least today the sun is out and I am planning a long walk!!
Cat...thanks for sharing the recipe. Sounds delicious!!! I also made a chicken dish last night. Chicken vesuvio.. made with new potatoes, artichokes, white wine, chicken broth, garlic and oregano and thyme for the seasonings. Very easy to make. I added a salad!! I too have not been as strict with my diet as I should be. I have noticed that since I am not working right now I have been grazing more often. Eating more of my snacks and skipping lunch so I never really feel full that leads to more grazing!! We can both get back on track!!
Barb...dance party Friday night??? Or another night?? Always up for the dance party!! What is happening in your neck of the woods??? Hopefully your weather will be better today and no more rain. We had rain Sunday night into yesterday, sun came out and then when i decided to go out for a walk, it clouded over and started raining again!! Bummer!! Hopefully today I can get out!! Tired of Mr. Treadmill!! Or should it be Ms. Treadmill???? We femininists have to stick together!!
Time to get my day started!!
Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!!

Despite all my bravado yesterday I did not make it through the day. Today I am hoping I will do better. I have a new game plan in place and I will see if that works.
Tried a new recipe last night, Chicken Scarpariello. Very good. Boneless chicken (very tender), coated in flour and cooked in butter & olive oil, then some shallots, wine water and a bullion cube. Seasonings were salt, pepper and rosemary. reduce the broth and add the chicken back in to warm up. i served mine over Miracle noodles DH had rice. It was tasty and fairly simple. Definitely a make again recipe.

I have really got to get control of myself. This lunchtime eating out of control HAS to stop. I have given in and actually allow myself to do it. I give myself permission to eat as much as I want and then I complain about it. I am the only one who can do anything about it and now I have to stop and say, "NO!" No more. I am not going to give myself permission any longer to over-eat and then whine and complain about it. i have to control myself. It is like an alcoholic with liquor. I have to say, "no more!" I am putting an end to this unacceptable behavior!!
Mom is still in the nursing home. the social worker has found that no home health agency will pick my mom up now so she will have no help when she goes home. That is going to cause a big problem. She may have to make a decision on where she wants to live out the rest of her life and I know it is a decision she has not wanted to make for a long time now. She has put it off until now, when she may have only two options...live with me or a nursing home. Not sure what she will choose.

FBS 93..a bit surprised since I got in a 90 minute walk yesterday and am watching my diet even more closely. Planning another long walk today!!
Barb...Lucky you with the garage sales today!! We used to have them too. I would have one but that old adage.."one man's junk is another man's treasure" doesn't apply here. My junk is just another man's junk!! Most of it is destined for the dumpster. Except Ashley's things. They are destined for her house if she and her husband ever decide to buy one. I missed the dance party last night. I was a little sore after my long walk. We went out to dinner with some friends and both of us were tired (Bob went with me) so we were home by 10. Plans today include another walk and taking Menlo to the doggie park. BTW I am so enjoying being unemployed right now but looks like I will be going back after next week. Got talked into going back so I caved. But I said that I was taking some time off next week too so after that it looks like I am back at work.
Cat...I am with you on working on consistency. Mine is more exercise than diet and for the last few days have been working really hard to get in at least an hour every day. Just no enough hours in the day but I realize that I just have to make sure I find the time to get the exercise in. Good luck with your diet consistency!! Hope all is well with your mom!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!

FBS 75@ 5 am. Up early to get Spot out for our walk before the Garage Sale in the neighborhood starts. UGH We've lived here 6 yrs. (in August) so this is our 5th one, and not too much new in the way of "stuff for sale" but it's nice way to get a walk in and "meet and greet" neighbors.
MOOM: Well, I hope that you and the Dr. can figur out what's going on. If t's not the nutrition, or exercise, then seems like maybe the med(S) need to be adjusted???? Just thinking. Good luck!
On the run, so have a great Saturday.

I am really excited- just heard from my doctor's office that my a1c from last week was 5.4. Yay!
Moomshine, How often do you test? I test twice a day - always fbs and then alternate testing 2 hours after breakfast, lunch or dinner. That gives a better picture of how your BG is doing. Yeah, stress definitely is a factor. HOpe you get some satisfactory answers from your doc.

fbs:144. Made a chart of the past 18 days. 4 days of fbs at 144 or more. Absolutely 0 relationship between what I eat, number of cals/fat/carbs, exercise and fbs. None. What I was looking for is a cause of the dawn phenom. Can't find one. So I'm thinking that if there is no cause, then there is no cure, so what's the point of taking an fbs? I will see my doctor next week, have an A1c test, and ask him. Maybe, it's different for us Type 2's? The good that came out of my charting is my daily bs averages are lower and leveler. Stress is definitely a factor for the daily fbs averages: Kids/grandkids here for Easter week was a tell, so my chart begins weeks after that storm. 8-)

Walked laps around the house yesterday and got in an hour of exercise. I am working on the same thing today. I wanted to walk outside but just can't seem to bring myself to go out. I like walking outside but I have leaving the houee. I've become a hermit.

FBS 75 @ 5 am. Mr. Spot and I got our walk in and then Iheaded ff to the dentist. Lots to accomplish today!
Noraspat: Glad your proicedure is behin you! Sounds like you had a very caring and thorough Dr. That makes such a ugs difference in our comfort level!
As for John, waiting to hear back from him re: what the insurance coverage would be then go from there. IF the net result is still no treatment plan, then its a snail mail, e-mail and phone conversation w/the Congressman. No excuse for this!
MOOM: Hmmm...what's going on? No support on the home front? That's hard to deal with but you know you've got support here. Always.
Baby: Good jo!!

Another beautiful day. I plan on getting out and walking outside today. I feel so much better once I get out and am exposed to the fresh air and sun.
I am doing well with getting up on time. Once in awhile I sleep past the alarm but i try to get up at 7 a.m. and get my day started. DH sleeps another 30-45 minutes. I have to nag him to get up. Of course Boone the dog stays right in bed with him. Lazy bums, both of them!!!
We've been enjoying the pears I put up last year. We eat them at breakfast and they are very tasty. The pear tree has baby pears on it now so I hope we have another good harvest this year.

That was my third one of the night. The colonoscopy went extremely well for the team. It was different to the last three I have had. I had anesthetic and really good care from all concerned.I am happy with the new Dr he was thorough and talked to DH and I after it was finished. They did take a biopsy but they did last time.
The prep was nothing like I had ever used it was tasteless and I used white peach juice to mix it. It was easy. I started the cleanse at 1pm and It was 9pm before it began to do it's thing.I had very little sleep and I had to monitor my blood sugar through the night. My appointment was 7 am. I had told them I had gastroparesis. I noticed as we talked with the Dr. I should have another in 5 years and he made notes I should be sedated and had nose pillows for anesthetic. After i got home was the first time the pain kicked in. He did warn me though. HUGS Early night for me. BARB, I never heard such a ridiculous move to deliberately target the military. I will google it and If I find it I will talk to Susan Collins and Angus King. That is so wrong. I wonder if the prison dentists have to still take care of the inmates teeth ?

HI there "stranger"! LOL Yes, isn't that a pile of political poo poo about the dental situation! Just makes me furious. And I am waiting fr John to all me back with the insurance information, as I HOPE that would make a difference in the amt. he'd be out-of-pocket. THEN the issue will be taking that information to the Congressman and that will be via letter AND phone call so there's no mistaking it that I am ANGRY!

FBS 83....and today it is sunny and gorgeous and I am getting out for a nice long walk soon!!
Sorry I have been MIA but work committments and some "son drama" going has kept me busier than usual. At least off this week which makes me happy!!
Cat... sorry to hear about your mom with her rib fractures and having been in the hospital and now back in the nursing home. It is certainly a predicament for you!! I think you are right to just play it be ear about her going home. Hope it all sorts out for you.
Barb...WWWHHHHHHAAAAATTTTTTTTT!! They are not taking care of John's cavities due to budget cuts???? What kind of system is that??? That is so not right!!!!! They should be the first ones to get the care they need. I hope you can help him!! Maybe a call to your Congressman's office?? that is what I love....wait until it becomes a problem, then do something about it and not do it right the first time!!! And we both know that is the first rule of QA!!!!! LOL!!! Seriously how can they just not do something about it!! No wonder you are not happy about that!! I would be fuming too!!
Dance party Friday night!! I will be there with bells on..well at least with my dancing shoes on. Don't know if I have any bells anyway!!! LOL!!!
I hope to be able to get to know everyone else;s names here. As I said I have not posted in quite a while but I was reading everyone's posts now and then.
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Did a much better job of managing my food intake yesterday. I stayed with my meal plan and calories. I also got outside for a walk. It was a beautiful sunny day with a light breeze and so I walked. I went further than I anticipated because it was so nice I didn't want to stop, so I just kept going. It was liberating to be outside.
Finally got to talk to mom. They got her a phone and so I can now talk to her daily. She is still planning on going home after this nursing home visit. She says she is only staying two weeks and not a minute longer. I just don't know what will happen when she goes home. Guess we play it by ear.
Hope everyone has a sparktacular day!!!

The problem is they are in NO hurry to take care of that due to the budget cuts! GRRRR!!! What the heck! Looking into what I can do to get him the advice he needs to get the care he needs, but it makes me bsolutely furious. I"ll be there's NO politicians family member that would go without proper dental care! GRRRR!!!

Oh what a lazy day this feels like. I had a hard time getting up this morning. the alarm went off at 7 but I stayed in bed and fell back to sleep and didn't get up until 8:45. I could have stayed in bed all morning. Now I have to get myself moving...grrrrrrrrr! Breakfast is done and now to do the dishes. Most of my chores are done already so I am on my way. I do need to go to town today so if I can get the energy I will walk Walmart.
Haven't heard from mom so she doesn't have a phone yet. Hope things are going okay for her.
It is another cloudy day here in central Virginia. Rained again during the night. the garden is getting a little soggy and the tomatoes are developing a blight. DH sprayed them yesterday but I imagine it all got washed off last night. he also said there are white flies on the tomatoes. Of course with all this rain my well water has turned red so I am having to use bottled water for all my cooking and drinking. Sure would love a new well. One day that will happen. Until then we just make it as best we can.
Hope you all have a great day. Maybe the sun will peek it's head out for a little while. I can hope....
