Oh, well, my stay in Onederland was brief but sweet...I am determined to get there again very soon. All the last week or so I have felt very hungry. I have been drinking more aspartame containing cold beverages and I wonder if that is what has been tricking my body into thinking it's real sugar and therefore increasing my insulin levels and hunger? My blood sugars have been good and I have maintained ketosis according to my Ketonix meter.

When I was at my physical a couple of weeks ago, I had blood work that showed that I am no longer considered "pre-diabetic," I no longer have fatty liver, and even though my total cholesterol went up about 25 points, 16 of that was HDL. All in all I guess I shouldn't complain, but I have to work harder this week. Next week my husband and I are going to Toronto for a few days, which will be great, but I'll have to be on my toes!

Yay! Finally in Onederland! I have my annual physical exam on Monday and can't wait to see my PCP's face! I was about 60 lbs heavier last year. She had recommended me for bariatric surgery but I told her I wanted to give one more try on my own a shot first. Boy, am I glad I didn't go for the surgery! I wanted to be down more but I'll take it. According to my insurance plan, once I have lost 75 lbs I can get a panniculectomy. I obviously need to keep going with the weight loss, but it is reassuring to know that when I have gotten down to my goal weight, I can have the procedure covered.

Happy Father's Day to all the fellas!

Back on track. Need to take in more fluids. Will go back to using my water app to remind me to drink throughout the day.

Nothing else to do but own up to it and make corrections...Sorry I haven't been engaged much here on FS lately. The last few weeks saw a lot of ups and downs: reunion (hubbie's 35th college), anniversary (29th), and graduation parties, but also the funeral of a 39 year old man who left a wife 2 young boys. Daughter back home with all of her junk food and chaos. Spend a night in the ED with her when she was taken by ambulance from work (one she has since quit) due to facial numbness and was officially given the diagnosis (again) of type 2 diabetes when her blood sugar topped 250, several hours after her last meal. Trying to convince her to take this seriously and go back on her metformin and check her sugars. She has started to go to a gym with a friend and is eating somewhat healthier but I have been unable to get her to go low carb like me and my husband. I can only do what I can...She has seen my transformation and hears the comments people make to me and hopefully she will take this step on her own. Because of her various psych diagnoses, anything I try to suggest is no good, she has to decide on her own.

Starting to feel that Onederland is a mythical place...

Spring is finally here in Mass! Doing my best to stay on track. Harder to do now that my daughter has moved back in, along with her junk food, but I haven't given in. Despite all of this, my mood has been better simply because of the sunlight. Will try to get my 10,000 steps in per day and all of my fluids.
