So I am re- Tired, meaning I am tired again. Today was a long one and I kept to my plan - ate no wheat, and took a 15 minute walk.
I am not going to be thin as a rail any time soon, but hopefully I will be able to make good choices in the near future.
I think I will allow myself to crawl into bed and read myself to sleep. That is a good choice because it keeps me from eating, and encourages extra sleep, and I need that.
So good night, to sleep, perchance to dream....

Ok but also not too good. Why is one day better than another? My boss told me this AM that she felt I was less stressed. I guess I am. I am showing up and doing my job, that's the important thing. I was demoted, I am not managing any employees and I am not really responsible for anythinbg other than what it right in front of me.
Hmm sounds like my weight issues as well. I am only responsible for what is on my plate and what I put in my mouth.
That is something to chew on.

So today was November 1. SP's magic bday! 11/1/11
We gave him nothing. No gift. Oh wait a minute. We had fish for dinner. Hubby cooked it - not the most low fat way, but at least it was fish! The only reason we had fish - I decided I have to eat fish at least 2 times a week, and I loathe it.
Yep, I loathe fish. I hate how it tastes. I hate the consistency. I really don't trust it. I used to eat fish sticks, but then I got sick off of them in HS. Swore off fish. I will eat shrimp - ...

So I decided over the weekend to try and live wheat free, and to try and get my BP and sugar under control.
I think losing a younger friend so suddenly to a heart attack made me realize I could be next.
So one day at a time, or really more like one hour at a time.
I smoked from the time I was 15 until I 43. I was at least 2 packs a day when I quit cold turkey with aid of a homeopathic product called Smoke Away. I haven't really wanted to smoke since the day ...

So I am beginning to get on track.
I am thinking about everything I put in my mouth. That is the key. While gum is an annoying habit I find a piece of sugar free gum after a meal keeps me from looking for more food to eat.
I am not hungry, my body just wants something sweet.
So besides watching my carb intake, and my sugar intake, I now really need to watch my sodium intake.
I know I can do this. I know I can do this. I know I can do this....

1.5 years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I knew months before going to the doctor that I was diabetic. Ignorance is bliss, then I began to read about the long term effects of diabetes and found that ignorance was anything but bliss. So I began to eat a lot better, and I dropped some weight, and my sugars were managed. Then I began adding in a light walk at the end of work, and I lost a little more weight and was feeling pretty good about myself.
Then I stopped walk...
