my nutritionist called it baby steps also.

whats been a boost for me is that my wife(has never gone over 130 lbs in her life), my daughter(has been a health nut since I can remember), and my son, who was getting a bit of love handles, now my son has been on a health kick, although I think its a new way of life for him, he eats constantly, but the right foods, and has dropped all the weight he wanted too.

and even though my kids are adults and live in their own homes, we see them alot and eating healthy is so normal for them they are thrilled I finally saw the light.

I dropped 30-35 lbs, and seem to be stuck, but its not frustrating.

My stomach is 100 times better now that I switched to onglyza.

todays readings, fasting this morning, 101, 2 hours after breakfast 116, and at 4 pm, 81. I can live with these readings as I dont think they are unhealthy.

I appreciate the support you guys give here. sometimes, issues like spending more time with the toilet then I do with my wife is not easily discussed or understood unless someone goes through the same thing.

Those numbers are fine. This morning my fast bg reading was 79. Ever since I started Vitamixing my food and I eat fresh ice cream at 7:30 p.m. using frozen bananas and peanut butter, and ice, well, to be able to eat like this and hit a 79 when I wake up is absolutely amazing. I never saw those numbers 20 years ago. I eat my greens, my carrots, I don't do much fruit but I do have my banana every day and tonight, instead of making a banana peanut butter ice cream, I opted for something different. Orange,banana ice cream.

It was so refreshing. I think it's the fact that I don't eat anything processed. I eat real food and it tastes good.

So keep taking baby steps and don't worry about talking about bathroom necessities. Food goes in, food comes out. For most people, it's the natural order of things.
