Day 6 and growing stronger, well, at least in the exercise department...

Tuesday, Jan 5th

Cardio
Lower Body

Ate 3 meals AND 2 snacks. I battled a high after the exercise. I didn't have enough insulin I guess, then ate my small snack of fruit and had to treat the high.

Wednesday, Jan 6th

Cardio
Upper Body

Ate 3 meals (large breakfast, medium lunch and medium dinner) and 2 snacks, then totally pigged out on a slice of cornbread and a glass of milk (my daughter made it yesterday and I resisted yesterday, but today it called out to me). So what did that mean? You guessed it...another high.

Heard in the Diabetes Too household Monday, when we switched from Dish Network to DirectTV and my son lost the ability to record on his t.v.:

"I'm just not going to watch t.v. anymore...pausey (spoken like those commercials that comedian did imitating George Bush) has become vital, MOM!!"

Checking In/Happy Thanksgiving....

Still skipping meals, exercise spotty at best, just keep struggling to get my tight scheduling under control. Have been working more again and not logging in again, but I keep trying.

Happy Thanksgiving. I have much to be thankful for.

Heard in the Diabetes Too household: the rooster crowing outside and the dog howling in response inside...."cockadoodledoo...howl...cockadoodledoo...howl..." Um, oh yeah...at 5 o'clock a.m.

Checking In/Daily Diary...

As I promised to do yesterday, here is a status on my day:

I woke at 5 am to do 20 minutes of cardio (10 on the glider, 10 stepping). I tested regularly today (fasting, pre-lunch, pre-dinner and I'll be doing a bedtime reading as well). I ate 3 meals and two snacks (B-2 scrambled eggs, S-1 oz. shelled pecans, L-Homemade Veggie Soup, S-25g blueberries, D-Spaghetti Sauce w/veggies over 1/2 cup noodles). I will do 50 wall push-ups before bed. I signed in to Twitter and I am headed to Diabetes Daily and Tu Diabetes to read some posts. Finally, I posted here. I'll be back tomorrow.

Something I used to do on my old personal blog that I am going to do occasionally here:

Heard in the Diabetes Too household today: "What did the green grape say to the purple grape?...Breathe, dummy!" A joke my husband told me this morning. That cracked me up...what does that say about me, LOL?
