@rungirl1973 Your daughter is very lucky to have a mother like you. I mean it; the earlier half of this year would have been a lot less stressful for me with a parent like you.

A1c was 6.4 which meant my average blood sugar was 130 (one point away from being a diabetic)
Triglycerides were156 norm was <150
Cholesterol was 248 norm 125-200
HDL 51 norm >46
LDL 166 norm <130
Ratio 4.9 norm<5
With these labs I was headed for some serious long-term morbidity. And high chance of a heart attacks in the future if I continued down this path. He had prescribed metformin but some how there was a mix-up between his pharmacy and his office and when I called his office they stated that it was not ordered.
He explained that I could change this with changes in my diet and exercise.
When I complained my legs hurt all the time his answer was, “You don’t have to do a lot just start moving some. Then add exercises as you can.
After a search of food diaries on July 4 I started with MFP I started with an average of 6621 steps a day felt exhausted and slept a lot. Last week my average was 10442
I started just logging what I ate making sure it was under my calorie goals but making sure I ate my protein goals. I continued to eat what I wanted. I have not been hungry or did I feel deprived. On average my splits were 40% carb 30%protein, and 30% fat
Today at my follow up visit my doctor came into my room almost giddy and said, “You are batting 1000”
A1c 5.5 normal range
Triglycerides 81
Cholesterol 189
HDL 54
LDL 119
Ratio 3.5
And 31 lbs lost
I was able to where a pair of shorts and shirt that I have not worn for several years.
Life style change and exercise works!
I don't think I have ever been excited about being called normal before.
That is wonderful!! Great transformation and results!
this x1000!

Ooh I have been checking! I signed up for alerts but nothing yet. I will be registering. What day day does it open?? Sooooo excited!
I was thinking it's probably insane there during this time. Should we buy Grand Ole Opry tickets now???0 -

Mmm wow didn't know those existed!!
It was just a jelly doughnut with (glorious) peanut butter frosting, but it was absolutely what I needed/wanted.
My local doughnut shop makes a strawberry filled doughnut with peanut butter icing. I miss those. And this year they are making a pumpkin filled with cream cheese icing. I got Mr. Mel.one the other day. It smelled wonderful.
Dear God,
Please let Heaven be filled with these pumpkin donuts when I get there. Thank you.
Love,

Yes, yes... 1000 times yes.
The only good thing about fall: it's Pumpkin Season.
Blasphemy! I love fall. I can't wait for jacket weather.
ETA: It occurs to me that Canadian fall is probably not what I'd like fall to be. I'll just be over here with my apple cider...
Yep- separated at birth.
I am a fall/winter person. I like sweaters, tights, high boots, etc. I do not like summer clothes. I am always glad when fall hits.0 -

I need to do some walking in this airport to earn back some of those calories!
That happens to me when I am lacking sleep, I just want to eat all day long.....
Yep I am doing a good job of it!0 -
I'm a bit like this too, so I live in the right place.

On pumpkin I love it. I got Phoebe a pumpkin muffin last night. Usually I get her a honey bran raisin one. I smelled it. But didn't taste. I can't get that taste in my mouth I'll obsess!0

Same! I'm going to enjoy the next couple warm days because there is a chance it could snow a bit Monday evening into Tuesday
I know it won't stay long, but it's never fun to see this early. 0 -

Can't remember if it was in here or not, but @MoHousdon I was reading this and thought of you http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10250779/are-there-days-you-just-dont-have-it-while-lifting#latest
"Bad" lifting days do happen to everyone
ETA: nope, it wasn't originally in here lol0 -

I'm thinking those would make better targets and it won't matter where my kids are if either of those is hit.
The superintendent knows our football team is playing Sevier County tonight. Google Dollywood if you want to know where the kids would rather be than school.
Anyway, I have a coworker who asked me if I sent them to school. "Of course, I sent my kids to school. Keeping them home would be letting fear win. I never let fear win." (which is why the same coworker calls for me every time she sees a spider)
I hope nothing comes of those rumors, regardless of what the possible targets may be. Also, this reminds me: ISIS have blown up so many of our mosques here in Saudi Arabia (and other Gulf countries like Kuwait) that my husband told me there were police at the door today when he went to attend the Friday prayer at the local mosque.
All of this is terrible. Having personally been in NY during 9/11 this day always affect me. I certainly didn't love booking my flight for today. But you can't let fear rule you. Ever.
So true!
I am a lot more affected by today then I thought I would be. I was on my way to work and our city was putting a row of flags out, I got seriously choked up.
Good luck this weekend @pofoster21 !!! to @m1xm0d3 as well 0 -
