Today first day for me to start and get my routine back.
Still suffering from jet lag but should be back soon in a couple of days.
I will get back to tracking my food and making better choices.
Too much ice cream on the weekend, I didn't need that.

Stickin to my low days of 500 calories has not been a problem for me. But looking fo forward to the 700 low cal next week. Think I will stay on the milk shakes and add 200 calories with fruits and veggies, At least that that is my plan. Why ruin a good thing.
Will check out the gluten free bread at the store to see if I can have some sandwiches at least on my high days. I am stil following the luten free diet along with this. For my kidney count is doing so well on it. So again why ruin a good thin.
I did have a lb gain this morning after my high day uuesterday But I think after my low day today it will come down.
To those that pop in have a wonderful day.
I am using this topic as my confession page Hope you don't get bored
Love you all
marie'tll tomorrow.0 -
Still on track today and trying not to snack between meals as
suggested by my nutritionist. Only have a snack if you really feel you need it.
Otherwise, stick to the 3 meals. So I am going to give this a try. I know I am
a snacker.

hey I back on The Sneakers page now.
I gain 2 lbs this week And keep doing what I am doing on my down days. and eat less on my up days.
Leave the ice-cream on my up days. off Just stick to these new smoothies' am drinking. I had a beet Smoothies this morning.0 -
Marie:
I just can't get the beet juice down, to me it tastes like dirt. Good Luck with the beet smoothies.
I went to my MIL's on the weekend and too much eating of the wrong foods all weekend.
Still trying to get a handle on this weekend eating and not snacking. Only having my 3 meals a day is
harder than I thought. I may have to change that on my next visit to the nutritionist.
Still trying, never give up !

Today I made a promise to myself that I will not copy and post any food that is not on my list And no snackin unless I have a low blood sugar reading.

Today I want to stay on track with exercise and eating. I may see a new nutritionist I have to ponder
that over yet because of the cost.
Be good to yourself, be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up if your day is not going as you
planned. LIFE does sometimes get in the way.

Today I will try and stick to the new exercise routine of strength with weights 3 times a week.
Eating clean, nothing packaged or processed. I will do cardio exercising on the remaining days.
I hope to see some results.

My blood sugar is getting back under control now. Nobody knows how bad low blood sugar effect you till you live thru it. You just have this terrible urge to eat carbs No control over it for you body knows that is what will bring it back up.. and it takes 30 minutes for food to take effect so 30 minutes of eating whatever is the easiest to get a hole of. For you just want carbs. I talk to the doctor about going back on oral medication but she said it is too rough on your kidneys. I never had a low till I got on insulin. Oh well My problems got to work it out myself. . I have been running my blood sugar really high to keep from getting these lows but that is not good for me either, altho I do feel better with it elevated. no cravens for carbs. But it sure put the weight on you.
Thanks for listening to me
love Marie0 -
Marie...try to not keep bad carbs around. My sister had to fight this also.0
-
Marie, Maybe another visit to the doctor and tell her about your lows and your cravings for carbs.
Maybe she can send you to a clinic that might help you with your eating patterns. Its worth a try.:flowerforyou:

Just for today I will try and avoid food temptation that is not good us.

I am going by the Diet.........State of Slim by James O . Hill PhD and holly R. Wyatt, MD.. They called it the Colorado diet
So far it is working out fine for me. I did add Beans as a protein Which he does not. But that is the only thing When ii don't have Beans. sub for. I still eat meat. if I don't lose on this I will have to revamp my ways. As far as exercise I don't start it till my 3rd week and only 10 minutes at a time. Till I gradual get it up to 70 minutes a day. That remains to be seen.
Thought I would tell you what I was up too. it is suppose
to fix my metabolism and drop 20 lbs. in 8 weeks. That is another thing remain to be seen. Have a wonderful night.....Hugs Marie0 -
MARIE: I love it that you are changing your diet all the time to make yourself healthy and drop your sugar levels. :drinker:
I have been doing that for 3 years now, always getting new information and changing things around. I have become
healthier, but not dropping the pounds like I had hoped. Keep it up, you can only feel better doing this. :flowerforyou:
I have been to two different Nutritionists now and still changing and taking in more information. Since I am Type 2
diabetic and only doing exercise and diet I have managed to stay away from medication. It is a lot of hard work but
it is paying in the end.
I still have to see my doctor every 3 months but some day I am hoping to stretch those visits out a bit. :happy:
So keep up the good work and we can motivate each other. Remember, when you sugar levels start to
drop let your doctor know so he can adjust your medication. When you start to lose weight, your levels will
change too.
So just for today I will, eat healthy, make healthy recipes and keep up my weight lifting routine to
3 times a week.

Thanks Shirley. , look like it is just to two of us posting here. But that's all right. I have had a good week and hope to have a lost in the morning. I am wanting a chocolate cover graham cracker real bad right now. but telling my self it is not on my list. I think I am going to type my list up and when these urges hit me I can look it up and see if it is on my list So I came here to talk to you. I know the urge will pass in a few minutes.
Thhanks for listening to me

Marie: My nutritionist told me that when I get the chocolate craving, buy the chocolate with at least
80% cocoa. Break it up into squares, put it into the freezer and only take one square. The freezing
will make it last longer and before you know it the craving is gone. I don't know if you are allowed
chocolate with your diabetes, but maybe it will help when you want something sweet.
Good luck Hon,

New year, > New attitude, down 4.9 this first week of January. Starting today I will log in all of my foods. I am sure if I keep it up I will learn a lot. and get easier for me.
I am sticking to the g gluten free plan, Lower carbs and anything else that will help me.
I am not making any resolution just changing my eating habits.
My goals is to keep
my carbs less than 100 a day. I have not decided on protein Tho it will be mostly beans. Keep my sodium down to 1500
my calorie's .1200. and sugar is a no no so don't think I need to keep up with it.
except on special occasionally Maybe once a month. And then only half serving.
Maybe when Alice and o out to eat split a dessert with her. I love my sweets But I do want to live longer and in better health.0 -
Hi Marie, glad to see you are back and you made some good January plans for yourself.
Just for Today I will get back on track, stick with my South Beach Plan and sugar is definitely a no no for
me also so I will limit my sugar intake since all sugar goes right to the waistline.
I will also limit my alcohol consumption when at social get togethers which is always hard for me since
we do a lot of socializing with friends.
I hope January will be the start of a healthier year for me.

Shirley good luck to you on the So Beach diet. Never really got into it though I have the books.
really working hardest this carb counting, fat counting and calories counting. I never ate so much fat before.. Going to give it time and see how my numbers are I don't have to count sodium So far things are looking up I dropped 2 lbs this morning But will not record it till Friday.
For lunch today I had fajitas but no tortilla I stir fried the frozen onions. Peppers In 1 T of coconut oil.
Reallu don't know what tonight will be. I thinking of a smoothie with spinach and a few strawberries froze, Will ssee. I need to get my % work out for I know some things need to be change. For me to work this plan. I am finding out the numbers are really taking to me.
Woo it is cold in this north room the wind is really blowing it got up to 37 today after a low of 18 this morning Another cold one tonight.
Be tslkin at you.
Hugs Marie0 -
Yes its so cold around in our area too!!
Today I will stick to the South Beach Plan and so far so good. I hope I too see a drop in pounds
on Friday. I will cross fingers for both of us.
Shirley0 -
Shirley so far so good.in my part of this old world. I am glad I have you to talk to.
I am enjoying my food. just hope I do not get into a one of my carbs binges
I hope we both have a good day Friday. gonna be nice to have Jeri join us.
I am learning a lot on this LCHF diet. I have not had any cravings But that could change for I know me. I have learned that fat is your friend. Good fat burns Fat Jerry had a bowl of ice creamed with a store bought pie. and I had him to give me one small bite. And that satisfy me.
See you tomorrow
hugs Marie0 -
I know how it is when you have those cravings. I am a chocolate lover and just anything with
sugar. I guess that's why I am Type 2 diabetic. I like the sweets and they don't like me.
On this South Beach plan there are no sugars and no breads, rice and pasta. Now this is
only the Phase 1 plan.
For today I will keep on my plan and when I hit day 14 I will do it over again until I get
to the next Phase. Keep it up Marie you are doing great !
Shirley0 -
Shirley I had a bad day . Low blood sugar. too much insulin at breakfast so I did not take any at lunch and it shot up around 3 Pm I had too much carbs After my low. But I going to try to watch it better. Hope I do not get a gain.0
-
Sorry to hear about your insulin Marie, I hope you got it back to balance again.
Just for Today I will keep on track and stay on my eating plan. I was away for two days
and not doing my plan it really throws you off but back again today and hope the rest
of the week will be good.
Shirley0 -
I WILL CONTINUE ON THIE LOW CARB AND FAT DIET I think it is good for me. Oh I still have my good days and bad days.But in all I think it will balance out pretty well. I would still like to live in a world where I could eat what I wanted. But that is not going to happen. Just going to take one day at a time. As Sandy would say.
Jerry is on 4 blood pressure pills now. So I could have it worse. I am not taking any..
lets hang in there Shirley.0
