YAY sue! Glad to have ya!

Dorrie we will miss you the next couple of days. Tell that hubby to hurry home.

Well me....I fell off the wagon today. Gave in to my choccy craving...7 pieces :eek::eek::eek:

Bad Shelley, Bad Shelley

Good thing is there will be another wagon to get on tomorrow. :D

Checking in! Gonna be an active Saturday. Make sure to take your meds and watch what you eat!

Hey Shelley...there must be something wrong with that wagon because I fell off it too!!!!:DBig Mac....there were healthier choices on the menu but I was putty in Ronald McDonalds hands....I did however pass on the fries!!!!!:p
Yesterday it was Lucky Charms cereal..marshmellos yum...
I get bored at night and it is worse when hubby is away....he is back now but is headed back out Mon-Friday next week to Kentucky. Again I will not have the laptop for those days...I will miss NT.
I hope Billie is keeping an eye on her sugars...hers are like mine when there is stress..they shoot up.
BILLIE..please take Care of yourself and hurry back! We need you!!!
Take Care Shelley!:grouphug:

Happy Mothers Day To All Moms!!
 

:)I was sitting here thinking just now about hubby going away for the week and how hard it is to not be bored when he is not here in the evening when Saffy is in bed. EVERY single time he goes for a week I ALWAYS plan on losing a few pounds or more but NEVER end up doing it. I will not have the laptop and that eliminates that support from you guys!
I am going to try really hard to change things this time and hopefully have something good to report on Friday to you gals!! :)

My doctors appointment is Tuesday May 20th. I am excited to see if my cholesterol, trigs and sugars went down. I lost some weight and got rid of the sweet tea. We'll see!

And yes, as you all know, I fell off my wagon too this week but we need to allow ourselves at least one treat. I always heard you will fall if you try to go cold turkey. For me, it's working. I reward myself Friday nights for that.

Hi Sandy!! Happy Mothers Day!!:)

I never thought to reward myself for having a good week!! There are lots of yummy but ok things I could make up for Friday night...I love sugar free jello but rarely take the time to make it....there are puddings that I can eat....a fancy doodle recipe perhaps!! Tahnk you for the idea!!
How is your Mom doing Sandy? How are you holding up? I cannot remember what day you said was her appointment??
I hope that your appointment goes well on the 20th....I really need to get it together so my next appointment is more positive than the last one!!
Have a great day:):grouphug:

Thanks Dorrie! I think rewarding yourself for a good week gives you something to look forward to. It helps Jim and I to be more aware of our choices throughout the week knowing we can have something on Friday's. You should see us on Fridays! lol Happy dances and big smiles haha! :Dancing-Chilli::Dancing-Chilli:

I do make lowfat snacks on Fridays too. For example, I may make some brownies but they are the low fat, fake egg kind. Or I will make a lime jello dessert with fat free cool whip, pineapples and pears. Yum! :D

Mom is doing Ok. She is getting tired of living with my sister in the small house but they are making the best of it. Her appointment is the 14th and we'll know for sure what path she is going to need to take as far as her disability. I am expecting her to be able to come up and stay with us in July and we'll fly her back in January. Lord, give Jim and I strength. lol

Sure wish someone here was on an insulin pump like me:( It would be so nice to have a few type 1's around to share common problems unique to type 1 diabetes.

On that note, I just adore my pump! I almost feel normal, even though I struggle with my sugar levels like everyone else here. The pump is way cool and so convenient with my insane lifestyle! No shots to worry about and if I miss a meal, it's no biggie any more. I'm packing insulin at a steady rate 24/7. I only bolus with the touch of a button when I eat something;)

Carolyn:D

Hi Carolyn!

Thanks for dropping in!

Sandy - were your trig's bad. Mine were in the 300's and I dropped them to the 100's. :D

Hope everyone is having a good day!
