next time I think I will get the shrimp pho as I did not like the clams still in their shells nor the little seafood balls. The one shrimp that was in there was good. Don't know what kind of noodle was in there, kind of flat, maybe rice???
It was very good over all and yes I like to add the veggies to the soup. cilantro basil purple cabbage...yum!
It was lot of noodles so not really on my diet but hey...this diet has to be flexable and one big bowl of noodles is not going to ruin my dieting efforts.
I was 146 yesterday morning.
so am happy about that. Have lost 15 pounds in 3 months time.

The 6 small meals a day. IS something a diabetic is also told is best.
But I remember telling the person doing my class. That it wasn't
possible with my schedule.

She said, that I could do 4 meals if possible. And then have a snack
during the afternoon. When possible. I still can't get the 4 meals
down anymore.

But I need a refresher course on the whole thing.

Donna,

The diabetic educators make the whole thing confusing.

The short version is that if you eat fewer calories /less food you will:

lose weight

and

lower blood sugar


-->> Eat the number of meals that fit into your day --- whatever works for you.

I ate a lot today for dinner:
After the guitar competition we met up back home. We have a friend staying with us and I had driven separately since I worked late. Met there at 6pm. Then headed home to meet up to go for dinner, crawfish during lent on a friday meant it would be a long wait to be seated.
(or so we thought)
So I had a cup of tabouli, big glass of milk and a pear.
When we got there there wasn't a wait at all.
Then I proceeded to eat half a dozen char broiled oysters and my usual max's special. Steamed veggies with crawfish ettoufee and cheese broiled served in a casserole dish.
YUMMY!
But I am so full.
The guys went over to a friends house to have a fire out side because it is nice out tonight. I will be going to the gym to walk on the tred mill in a little bit, will wait a while because I am so full.
Great dinner!!!!

Bizi,

It sounds like a great evening, esp the gym.

thanks mari.
I just got home from the gym. walked my usual hour on the tred mill 3.5 mph.
Am worried. The upper shin area just below my knee cap is irritated. I hope that this is not the beginning of shin splints.
I did not do anything differently.
What did i do wrong?

Stop using the incline and stop holding on to the rails:

Walking too quickly on too high an incline alters the gait into an exaggerated heel strike that can cause shin splints.

Also, take a good look at your shoes. It might be time for a new pair:

the wear that most affects biomechanics (and thus, the wear most likely to have an effect on injury risk) occurs inside the midsole.

Donna,

I think she just got a new pair of purple shoes.

Bizi, are you wearing the purples shoes?
