Hi everybody they are due out to get my computer g
Back in working order. I will be so glad, this I Pad is for the birds. Fine for reading books but not for an old lady trying to post an forty.

See you tomorrow

I hope you get your computer back soon! I have a Kindle Fire but hate to post on that as well due to the touch screen. I also have a secondary phone for "Internet on the go" (cheaper than adding a data plan to my current phone) and it is also a touch screen - Ick to texting on it!

Hi everyone! It was a busy weekend up here, but I had some good numbers - until today.

My fasting sugars this morning were 13.8 or 207!! Holy high!

I use Heavy Whipping Cream in mine. Fat does not make your blood sugar rise, and it's delicious. I used to be addicted to coffeemate creamer before I was diagnosed. It was loaded with carbs which wreaked havoc on my blood sugar. Heavy Whipping Cream saved the day, and you don't need much in it.

I have thought about trying a protein shake when I need something but don't want to cook. I mentioned previously I bought a protein powder but when stirred it didn't disolve enough - ick! Had two containers of blackberries I need to use up, so I think I will make a smoothie with the mix (it's vanilla flavored) and toss in some blackberries. Or perhaps half a banana and some pb2 (powdered peanut butter).

It sounds like you're happy with your meals Marie. A red vest on a cold winter day is a great idea to perk things up! ~Lynn /Glucerna

I tried the blackberries/banana/protein powder smoothie today. Ew, ew, ew! I settled for milk, a banana and a good chunk or two of honey peanut butter. It was very high in calories (631), carbs (61) and sugar (40!!!) so I won't be doing that again.

Whitman's boxes of chocolate were buy one, get one free the other day.... I currently have a 171 2-hour BS was a result. Oops However, I am back to good food and did a gym run at 6 a.m. this morning. Did the 30-minute circuit at Planet Fitness, and grudingly did 25 minutes on the arc trainer. It was 45 degrees on my way to work last night (versus the 8 degrees just a few nights ago!) so I am hoping the nice temperature will carry out tomorrow and we can have a family walk and take the dogs to the lake for a walk (it takes about an hour to complete at a slow pace).

I am considering making some tofu-spinach lasanga. I made it once a long time ago, so hoping I can sneak it in for dinner tomorrow night (my wife abhors the idea of tofu and won't eat spinach in any way). After two meals of turkey goulash (holy pasta carbs) I need to try and lighten it up!

Hope everyone else is doing well and rocking the numbers!

I have heard of coconut milk, but after the water (thank goodness for freebies) I ran far, far, far away to the hills! I will have to look into it then, since I kind of miss milk (only use it when baking, rare, and for the occasional bowl of cereal).

I am making my protein shake with Almond coconut B lend milk now taste pretty good too.

I have tried coconut water and found it repulsing. I have never had almond milk, but I have had soy milk and enjoy it. Is almond milk similar?

i think almond is better - i use silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk for my shakes

I really like hearing about the different foods you're trying Marie. Have you tried radishes with the vegetable slicer? ~Lynn /Glucerna

It's great you're finding recipes you enjoy! ~Lynn /Glucerna
