YOU heard me!!!!

9:42 am  blood sugar 129 (Yeah you read that right!!)
10:00 am  Breakfast (cottage cheese and two cups of coffee with sweet and low)





Wow!! Yea I can NOT believe it myself! 129 is a great improvement for me! That is over one hundred points lower then usual. I have no idea what I did differently. Other then went to bed early ha ha ha. Well whatever works.

I didnt blog this weekend. Life got in the way. Broken water heater, haircuts and just spending time with the kids. It was a great weekend. But truth time. Went to Louigi's on Saturday. Yeah I ate some pasta but not enough to throw me back too much. But no sugar sodas or sweets. Maybe Jenn was right, maybe I did drink to many sodas. I still drink a couple a day but diet soda! DId you know... that their is a diet cherry dr. pepper. OMG sooo good.

Should we talk about the no smoking for a minute. I would rather not but yeah not doing so good with that. I am trying and no longer smoking a pack a day but still smoke two or three a day. A couple puffs at a time. I am not giving up just struggling a bit. A down side to not smoking is I can now smell everything. Where food smells and taste so much better.... our dog has ruined my carpets. Shampooing is no longer helping. I have a serious love hate relationship with that dog. I love her but hate what she is doing to my carpets so I guess time to go to wood flooring.  Which I wanted to do anyway but I just hate spending money!  But I will do the work myself. Part of my deal with Kris, I can do what I want but I have to do it. I always agree to this 'cause ummm I will start it and he will finish it. He just can't help himself ha ha ha.

Well the kids are certainly onboard with my eating healthy. They haven't complained once. They are loving the veggies and new meat recipes. They really don't miss the carbs much. Kris hasn't complained either. I thank the lord the are not really picky eaters. Last night for dinner I braised some ribs and blanched some Haricot Vert which I then sauted with in a bit of butter with onions and garlic. Ticky was not having it at first but then when he tasted it, he said, "that's damn good". They like it all once they taste it.

On a different note, this week between coupons and price match I was able to get Betty Crooker fruit smacks for $0.49 a box so I stocked up on them. Not the best snack you might think but compare it to a fun size candy bar and tell me then it ain't a good idea! I am trying to teach my kids that eating right will keep them from having the issues I now have.

I hope you all have a blessed day thank you so much for continuing to read and be strength for me and my family. love and hugs to all.
