Funny - yesterday the scale was 207# and then this morning 205.8 - I will take it. I know the process works. As I have said many times.....this is a lifestyle and as long as I am making the right choices/doing the right things then eventually it will respond in a positive way.

I know I had 'thought' I would not eat dinner, but I made Keto Brccoli Cheese Soup and it was mmm mmm good. Even the picky husband liked it. So had the soup and then went to the FD for maintenance night. Worked for three hours there, and got in 2.5 mile run. So yesterday was a productive day, for sure.

This morning DH BS, after coffee on the half dosage of metformin, was 105...very good signs. This week he has learned why I am so funny about eating out. Unless it is something like a steak or a burger or eggs I would rather cook it myself because you do not know what people put in their foods. He met me the other night and we ate at Hong Kong Buffet...the sauces (as most of you know) and his BS was in the 160's...not horrible but he was disappointed. Also, yesterday he stopped for a coffee and asked for sugar free hazelnut. Came home and his BS was in the 160's so pretty sure the barista failed to use sugar free. The coffee I make him (with sugar free hazel nut) does not effect his BS in that manner. So lessons he is learning, but that isn't bad.

I hope all you FS warriors are doing well. Remember to treat yourselves kindly!

Got my new shoes last night. Although I was delayed in getting home...my plan was run get shoes and get back home. However, it was more like close to 7pm when I got home. However, I did get in a 2 mile run. I was not going to miss another day. I can tell that it is really helping me to cope with my frustrations and even some anxiety. I realize that as I get closer to going to Georgia next week I am getting more emotional. I know why...this is the first visit back since my sweet Mama passed away. Did a 16:8 fast this morning and then broke the fast with a cup of coffee with some heavy cream. Not too bad. We have maintenance night tonight so I am thinking I will have a later lunch today. Get some treadmill time in and go to the gym. I will fix something for DH for dinner but I am sure I will still be full and that is fine.

DH - so the Doctor told him to cut his metformin in half. We are doing that and it does make a difference. So now his BS, after morning coffee, is 126 where it was in the 90's. After breakfast that is the same...in the 120's where before it was in the 90's. Of course, he messaged me today could he have pizza. I want to say you are a grown man you can have what you want. That is when I said, "what is your BS after breakfast" and he says, "let me check". I sent him appx numbers of here is a slice of pizza eating the crust and here is a slice eating the topping and no crust. He needs to make those decisions and seriously he has used the app before to look this stuff up. I think he decided against the pizza.

So time to get back to work. I hope everyone is having a good week. Remember to be kind to yourselves!

Not much going on with the scale; the typical bouncing up and down, but that is okay. My exercise hasn't been what I would want it to be. I had great plans for yesterday, but seems it is time to replace my running shoes. It always happens the same way...I start running and my calf starts aching into the run. I stop and it stops. I start back and the ache starts. I pushed through 15 minutes yesterday, and then checked the mileage on my shoes. Yep, just as I thought, right at the 200 mile mark. Last time this happened that is where the mileage was and the new shoes fixed the problem. So right after work I will go get new running shoes. I can tell that I am much more irritable when I don't get any exercise in for a day or so.

I had DH put in a call to his doctor yesterday. It is two days in a row that his BS (after eating) was dangerously low. I say that as an EMT, and not as his wife. The glipizide he is on was an addition to his other meds when his A1C was a little elevated (in the past). Now that he is eating good I am thinking that we will not be able to wait 3 months for the doctor to re-check and adjust his meds. I am anxious to find out what the doctor says when he returns his call today (he wasn't in yesterday). Definitely, something needs to change and very soon. Of course, DH took a little advantage of it. So he sends me his pic (keeping in mind that he was a hospital corpsman and should know what to do), but I do understand that it is different when it is yourself and I also realize that when your BS is low it can muddle things some. So he sends me a pic of his glucometer and says I do not understand. I say you need to get one of those chocolate truffles that you took to the office and eat it right now. It is because you are eating right and the meds are effecting it. So he takes it again and still not up enough. I say don't you have glucose tablets in your backpack? I know you had them in your computer bag before you changed to the backpack. No he doesn't...well what the f^&k happened to them (that is what I am thinking to myself) and fuming because I am sure he threw them away!!!!! So get a soda and drink that and it should bring it up. Which he did, but then he stops on the way home and gets a cup of sugar (the coffee) and then when he gets home and takes his BS and wonders why it is 191!!!! I am like you didn't need that cup of coffee that you stopped to get.....the soda was plenty. *sigh* Frustration!!!! I repeat FRUSTRATION!!!!

Okay so I have the paperwork filled out for him to join the gym and I will start and see if he follows suit. The good thing is I can always cancel him if he doesn't go. I hope he does, but we will see how long it lasts because this is certainly not the first time he has joined the gym with me. I hate to sound pessimistic but there are just some things that I have to just kind of see how it will work out. I guess you could say that I am trying to manage my expectations.

So my plan today...finish work, get new runners, come home and get in a good run that I couldn't get in yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed that the plan will work out right today.

I hope you all have a great day and be kind to yourselves!

Good morning Warriors, and Happy Friday! Wow what a good night of sleep will do for you! I was in bed by 8pm and woke up at 10:39pm thinking I had been asleep for HOURS....that is just how hard I had been sleeping. I was so happy to see I could go back to sleep for several more hours. Feeling much better today. Still a bit of a runny nose, but I am confident that I will not get any worse for wear after being exposed to the flu. Will keep taking my vitamins and minerals and staying hydrated and eating right!

DH's doctor appointment......... Basically, the Doctor told him the letter was to scare him with reality. Sucker Punch! He told him that he could keep eating like he is and go on insulin and be dead in a year or he could get his shit together. DH showed him the BS results from his glucometer and eating "like me" is what he told the Doctor. The Doctor told him if he "eats like me" then he can stay off the insulin because he will be fine. His back/kidneys no longer hurt, either. Imagine! :)

Happy to see the scale on a steady trend down. Some NSV's....the super skinny jeans that I have been able to wear once since I moved to PNW 9-1/2 years ago...I can now put on and button up. They are still a little too snug for comfort. My FAVORITE pair of capri pants that I have only been able to wear once since moving up here....can wear them!!!! The waist on these do not have any give and they are drawstring (not stretchy at all) so have to do a bit of a wiggle to get them over my hips but then they fit GREAT. So I know they will just keep getting better. I am so happy about that. Tried on a pair of slacks that a few weeks ago couldn't get them on or buttoned and today I did, but I need to lose a few more pounds for those to look as good as they should. I will try these all again when I pack to travel, in two weeks. I love NSV's!!! Remember the scale is just a tool, my friends!!

I hope you have a great day and weekend. Be kind to yourselves!

Yesterday was a LONG day with the late night before. Of course, when I’m tired my body wants to graze more. I recognize that and was careful. To top it off work was a 13 hour day. Enough time to cook dinner and make it to a Fire meeting that was another two hours. I was too tired to sleep last night. Ugh!! Didn’t get a run in or anything. Today is DH appt so if I wrap work up on time I’ll have time to get at least a quick mile. Then get ready to meet him.

On another note I’m trying to STAY OUT OF MY HEAD about my flu exposure. It’s typicslly 1-4 days for incubation after exposure. Monday was first potential exposure and Tuesday was second potential exposure. I do have a bit of a runny nose but not constant. Other than that I’m fine. I’m drinking lots of hot tea, staying hydrated, taking my vitamins and probiotic. I think I’m fine!! My bodies stronger and healthier and it’s like “bug off”, literally. At least that’s the mindset I’m carrying to keep everything boosted.

Have a great day and be kind to yourselves!
