Journal time- 5/27/08

Journal time… I am a bit more back on track. My 2 hour post sugars have been between 90-120, so a little higher but down from last week- thanks goodness! I have to admit, I am having a hard time staying on track with my food. It is really annoying me too!!
I know what I […]

What are your exercise habits?

How many times a week do you exercise? Tell the truth!

Every day without fail.

3-4 times a week.

Once or twice- too busy.

Once or twice- too lazy!

What. is. exercise?

Stress, diabetes, food, exercise and fatblogging

Ok, so it has been an interesting week here.  I am not sure if it is the high stress level here, or the lack of concentration on my part but oh boy the bloodsugars have been oh so bad! I single handily went from having my average sugar in the 90’s to struggling to keep […]

Long time no see- diabetic and food journal and a great blood pressure!

Oh boy, it has been a while since I journaled on here. First, the big change. I have now started checking my blood sugars twice a day- in the morning and before bed.  My sugars have been so good as of the last few months that I feel confident in my decision. My readings have […]

Journal from camp 4/20/08

I went camping for earth day this weekend with my daughters and the Girl Scouts. Oh what fun, haha. Actually, it was not that bad and they learned many lessons about recycling, reusing and all else that goes along with being green.
So…. my diet was for the birds. I had a lot of peanut butter […]

Journal 4/11/08- I dislike my scale- yet again!

I think the scale lies! I have been so good, as I have been sharing and I have lost about 10 or so since the beginning of the year, but come on!!! My pants are bigger on me, my shirts are roomier and the scale just sits there staring at me. If I could talk […]

Journal 4/6/08- Great comment led me to think things over

Well, it is very late on Sunday evening and the end of the weekend. I wanted to share a comment that a reader left on my last journal, and I love comments! The reader said that I need to be more specific when I state, “my blood sugars”. I need to specify whether this is […]

Journal 4/4/08- It was a good week

Ok, so I have been very, very, did I say very, good with my diet and exercise that last few days. I have kept to almost all raw fruits and veggies, with peanuts and granola and flax seed, chicken and yogurt. I have had a sugar free popsicle and diet iced tea. Like I said, […]

Happy April everyone- Journal 4/1/08

My blood sugars have been up a little bit over the last 2 days. They have wavered between 96 and 128 with most on the upper end of that range. I have done nothing different with my food and exercise and ran around for about 90 minutes on the lacrosse field last night in the […]

Weekly journal- Fairly good 3/29/08

Bloodsugars have been so-so this week. I had a minor surgical procedure at the beginning of the week and I think just the trauma of it threw me off. I had a small tumor/cyst (we aren’t sure till pathology comes back) removed of my head, so I have about 20 stitches or so. And my […]
