Good morning everyone - I had an amazing long weekend. I got to participate in the Veterans day parade - representing the Nevada Air National guard which was really a humbling experience. I did splurge a bit (I did the math and made sure the macros and serving size were right) and shared an order of hot pastrami and a knish (mashed potatoes wrapped in pastry dough with gravy) with my wife for lunch. It was so decadent and filling...just a fantastic treat. So my lesson learned for the week is that I can substitute rutabaga or turnip for potatoes in a stew and really reduce the carb load. thanks to this site I could easily do the research and see that they are a good choice. We added a recipe for beef ribs and veg for the crock pot and it turned out amazing. I think I will change the meat to something let fatty as it drove the fat and calories way up...maybe a pork loin on the next go. but the texture and taste with the turnips and rutabagas were on point. My weight is hovering a little lower that the past months on the new insulin dosing so I am going to keep an eye on that until my next labs in February to make sure everything is still ok. And provided that my pancreas continues on the path to failure I can manage my BGL level pretty well.

I hope that you all have a great week and for those of you who served this nation I say "thank you" and truly appreciate everything that you sacrificed. Life is a series of experiences - I hope that you are living to personally experience this grand adventure.
