9:22 am 60 units 70/30
9:35 am 1 tablespoon peant butter and cup of coffee black w/ sweet and low.



Not hungry today! Feeling Yucky. Like I am getting a cold yucky. Not many cravings this morning. Haven't thought about a cigarette till just now LOL. Not that I want one just remembering that  a couple days ago I was a smoker. I hope I have this feeling all day!

Read a very interesting article today. A woman in New Zealand died from her two gallon a day habit of drinking Coca Cola! WOW! I can't even imagine that much soda! EEEwww right? Two gallons a day and 8 kids! I guess she had to do something with that sugar rush. Here is a link to the story in case you find this way to hard to believe LOL.

Yesterday evening I had that starving feeling again. So i ate broccoli. Lots of broccoli. I guess it worked cause I sure don't feel hungry today.

So I have to admit something to you all. I messed up and I messed up big time. I visited my friend next door. She offered me a can of a product called manzanita (apple) drink.  I thought it was like a juice thingie.. half way threw the can I decided to look at the label.. 42 grams of carbs and 42 grams of sugar! Of course I regret my decision to drink before I looked at the label and I will not ever drink it again. NO I didn't finish it either. The kids loved it. I can understand why it was wonderful!  Last  night in a moment of weakness I called Kris, my husband and asked him to bring a gallon of milk and a Dr. Pepper. He loves me and if i ask he will  bring it. God bless him he is a good guy. By the end of the call I told him nevermind I didn't need the soda. Well God bless him some more when he got home he brought me a bottle of Dt. Dr. Pepper! OH it tasted like manna from heaven I imagine.

I had a blast visiting with neighbor! We talk and laugh. Not once did I think about sneaking across the street for a cigarette. That was a first. My neighbor has been a wonderful support to me. She watches my kids while I go to Dr's appts. Or if I need a rest. She is a shoulder to cry on. I have to admit life is much sweeter with good friends.

Anyway, all is good today. Whatever works right??

Love to all, For my Catholic friends Happy Lenten Season and God bless everyone!

  1. Barb you used to drink way more soda then i think you realize. I bet you easily drank at least 2 liters if not a gallon. No more Dr. pepper it is killing you! Tryeating a maybe a lettuce wrap with a piece of lunch meat and some cheese before bread
