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!

Included in a heart healthy diet, macadamia nuts did reduce total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels.
Up to this point, […]

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 […]
