    I take the CBD oil internally, but some companies do have topical lotions to apply on the skin, Maggie!

    I just asked my husband-he did take it orally. I guess I need to be more attentive because I really thought he tried it topically.

    Easter threw me for a loop. A friend sent sis an I am Easter basket. She sent a sugar free coffee syrup which was very thoughtful, but I also got into the jelly beans that were sent. I ordered junk to be brought in the grocery run (Fritos and Mike's hard lemonade) and I've been having that.

    I started breakfast today with an open face BLT and then fixed a 3 egg omelette. Hopefully all the protein will put me back on track.

    I donated a few bucks to help build a community garden, and plan to start going there for classes.

    I've been running a little temperature the past few days, so maybe that's why I fell off the wagon. I've dusted myself off, and crawled back on it for now.

    Happy Easter.

    Well, today was the day. Petey the Poodle passed peacefully with the help of our good local vet, Dr. Cuffe. We love you forever, our sweet Pete.

    Well, I'm still counting carbs, but allowing myself some items I don't usually eat, like mashed potatoes. It's comfort eating. I eat it balanced with protein and veggies. My blood glucose has been really good lately. Trulicity makes me nauseous so I don't want to eat much, but I do still eat. I skipped dinner last night and just had a carb master yogurt late in the evening, and it appears that my BG was a steady 94 all night long. I think I would add about 15 more points to that based on my last blood prick reading.

    Excellent compliance on meds! I use a slender fridge organizer beside my bed for my meds, and take them the first thing in the morning.

    Still not much compliance on vitamins, but will take one now.

    Still physically thrashed, but I do walk the stairs several times per day so I am getting some activity.

    Sounds like great blood sugar control. I like some comfort food too. I have a pill organizer where I eat and take them twice a day. Prescription and vitamins.

    Thanks, ladies! You reminded me to take my calcium (just barely inside the the osteopenia range, a diagnosis thanks to my first dexascan last year.

    Wow! A reminder for my calcium again! Dang! I need to set an alarm for the mid-day dose. Thanks.

    I usually get my meds in but sometimes not exactly on time.

    Compliant on all meds and vitamins! Go to doc this Wednesday for a check up and blood work. I'm trying to incorporate more veggies and legumes in my diet. Fresh fruit is so expensive now! I've been getting frozen fruit to mix with my plain yogurt in the mixer.
