June 6
1:30, Monday afternoon. 2.5 hours till I’m outta here. I really need something to do, but I am too lazy at this moment to go find something. I had a good pile of work to do this morning, and I was grateful. It was quiet, I was busy, and the time went fast. I am a little lonely back in my new space, but at least it’s nice a cool. I think I might take a few minutes in a little while and go upstairs and outside for a few. No one will miss me… that might sound sad, but it’s fine.
The Hubs is not feeling well, and I thought he was going to go home, but I heard from him about an hour ago and he was still there. I hope he’s not coming down with something.
*sigh* Eating… it’s not too bad, actually. I was proud of myself yesterday. We went out to get some errands done, and by 11:45, Josh was on the rampage because he was hungry. So, we go to Friendly’s. Not very many healthy options, but I did discover that all of their healthy options are clearly marked. So, I choose the Apple Harvest Salad, instead of the pretzel roll bacon cheeseburger that I REALLY wanted. The salad was good. The chicken on it was yucky (but, have a lot of issue with chicken, so you can’t go by me), so I didn’t eat that at all. Afterwards, Hubby orders a 3 scoop sundae, using the no sugar added vanilla ice cream and no sugar added fudge, but still with the regular peanut butter sauce and reeses pieces. I really didn’t have that much and I was pretty proud of my selections. I remember before surgery, when I would send Ant out for a 5 scoop reeses pieces sundae. I could have eaten one everyday, probably more than one. It’s amazing how things change.
So, what is really confusing is my blood sugar after this meal as compared to after my dinner. After this lunch of salad and a little ice cream, my sugar was 73. After dinner of ground turkey breast with Mexican seasoning (carbs? Maybe 1 or 2), reduced fat cheese, and a high fiber wrap (net carbs 7 grms) and my sugar was 123 a little more than an hour after. WTF? How does any of that make sense? Now, for a test, I just ate the exact same thing for lunch, and its going to be very interesting to see what it is in a few minutes when I test. Hmmm…. Ok, it’s 104. Obviously not as bad as 123 (and, ok, technically 123 is not bad) but it’s so interesting. WHAT is in this meal that can make my sugar go up? The next 7 weeks are going to drag…
I can’t get a hold of Anthony… I wonder what’s going on. I called the office, his cell, and I e-mailed him… Should the worrying start yet? No, no… just relax.
