dorindam59's Journal, 23 August 2015

Just got back yesterday from taking my first grandson to college with his mother (my daughter) and her two youngest, 2 and 7. On Friday I drove 6 hours, then we walked 120 hours. Not really but it sure felt like it. Every time I had to get back in the car and get back out I could hardly move. My muscles just tightened up so much they wouldn't work! I stuck to my diet fairly well.

I think this is really funny. When my youngest went to college at a local private college, the school gave the parents a sit down banquet, full meal. We take my grandson to a private art college and we go to eat at the dorm cafeteria, twice! The tuition is about comparable at each school!

Anyway, I stayed away from the sugars, ate a few carbs, mostly fruits and salad. Friday night though, we stayed in a nearby hotel. We were so hungry and tired, so we ordered a pizza delivery. I ate two pieces. Then on the way home we stopped at the largest McDonald's in America over the Will Roger's turnpike in Oklahoma and I got a burger and fries. My blood sugars stayed pretty stable.

My two year old granddaughter insisted in carrying my suitcase to the hotel!
