Jgnatca and nvmomketo - thank you for your ideas. I am a vegan so that limits some of the things I can snack on but I have been keeping my blood sugar where it needs to be with just my diet. It seems to be a little higher in the morning after I eat breakfast but still within the range I need to be. I eat often but I eat…

Does anyone do spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti noodles? Looking for ideas for toppings/sauce.
-
lorrpb - thanks for the links. - I understand that whole grain bread is better than whit. I know not to eat trans fat etc. For example not all whole grain breads work for me. I can eat healthful bread with sunflower and flaxseed. I can't eat all cereals but 40 g of shredded wheat spoon size works for me. I also understand…

shinycrazy - any list of foods that people eat anywhere? a website? I am just looking for new ideas?
-
lorrpb - thanks for the advice. I have listened to those words and I have dropped the weight and excessing all that I can. I am just looking for new foods or old foods for you that work.

I would be interested to hear what specifics you eat if you are open to sharing. I am recently diagnosed and I would not like to eat the dairy, meat, etc... I would also like any advice / help. Sorry SaraKim17 that doesn't help you at all but I am kinda in the same place you are.

I am just starting to cook more and more and I am looking for different ideas. I don't eat meat which I realize is different than most which makes it harder for me when looking at normal diabetic cookbooks.

Also I eat cereal in the morning (Shredded Wheat Spoon Sized) When I ate 50 carbs it made my blood sugar jump. When I at 38 carbs (3/4) it didn't do anything to my readings. I enjoy a bowl of shredded wheat spoon size with almond milk.
-
I understand that different foods effect people differently but I am looking to see what other people enjoy eating and can still stay on track with their blood glucose readings. Recently I found bread that hardly does anything to my blood sugar, healthful w/flax & sunflower - 14 g of carbs for one piece but for whatever…

Furby is great. The pic on the water of him sitting calmly couldn't be better

I don't know what I am doing on the bike or I don't have the correct bike... When I have biked I can ride a 17.5 mph pace for 35/40 miles but even on 20 miles I don't get much faster than that. I just started biking and I am sure that my body isn't used to it and I just don't know what I am doing either. It felt like I…

Congrats on what sounds like a personal best Tri in the rain! I cancelled my shorter race. I am looking to find a new one. I need to look into it more. I am still planning on doing a long trip as well. I will keep you updated as those things happen in the near future. I looked at my last posts and I don't think that I…

my son got sick so I was unable to go on the trip. Good luck on your Olympic Tri. I can't wait to hear about it.
-
isn't there a way that you can download your directions on your phone and use it offline? I thought I read about this and was wondering if anyone has ever done it. I really don't want to pay anything to do it. If I have to go out and buy something else I would rather use a paper map or use my phone for part of the ride and…

LOL - As I am typing and reading your posts, I am going to continue to plan. My plan is to ride 55 miles and stop and sit and eat at a restaurant along my route. A local dive that looks great. I will load my two water bottles that I take on every ride and fill them up. Hop back on my bike an hour later and finish the last…

I am going Tuesday to have a long ride for my training for my triathlon that I am doing in August. I am also doing it because my family has free baseball tickets to the Red's game on Tuesday night. I will get to go swimming in the hotel pool with my kids visit Cincy Tuesday afternoon and take in the ball game. After the…

I am taking a trip that isn't a part of my training on Tuesday. I am riding around 90 miles and meeting my family to watch a baseball game that evening. I plan on traveling around 40-50 miles and eat lunch and take a break. Get back on the bike and ride around 20-25 and then take another break and eat. Finish with the last…

I have been riding 40 / 45 miles but when I do this I am usually on a familiar trail not on roads. I am going on a trip on Tuesday and riding around 90 miles in a day. I am going to leave early in the morning. I have someone caring my tent, sleeping bag, and a change of clothes. We are watching a baseball game Tuesday…

I am trying to plan the roads that I will bike to get to a City. Is there anything I need to know while I am planning out the roads. After I get out of my initial 20 mile radius I will be taking roads that I haven't ridden on. Obviously I am not riding on interstates. Is there anything I need to know or any tips on…
-
does anyone use panniers on their bike when they do this? If you don't mind sharing what kind do you use? I am looking for a light but cheap set.

Completed my first brick yesterday. I swam a mile in the pool and road 30 miles on the bike. My heart rate was a little bit up after getting out of the pool and when I first started on my bike (bad swimming form.) Once I started riding on the bike my heart rate went back down to normal and after the first few minutes it…

I have worked a few hill days. I have road at different times of the day to experience wind. I am consistently hitting that number which probably is great but it is a big improvement from where I started.

It sounds to me that all of you agree that a tent is better than a hammock. The hammock comes with a bug net and a tarp that hangs over you so you don't get wet. You have to purchase a sleeping bag and a something of the sort to lay underneath. I am going soon so it will be in the summer in the midwest where it will be…

I am starting to plan out my trip. I really have no limits on where I could go. I am starting in the midwest (Indiana, Ohio, KY, IL, MI area. Are there any websites or resources that give you the best roads to ride on ?
-
I don't know what happened in the past two weeks but I have increased my speed (without even trying) buy 2 mph. I used to average a little above 15 and now I am at 17.5. I don't feel like I am trying any harder or exerting more energy. I might be getting used to my shoes or just getting more used to my bike but I don't…

I went to REI to get a tent and one of the workers suggested a hammock. I ended up leaving without buying anything but considering a hammock because of how easy it is to pack. Any thoughts?
-
I would be touring USA, starting in the midwest.
-
Any books? Any place on the internet to find out more specifics? Any stores I could talk to workers or people who do this? I am pretty excited about this now I would like to find a way to make it work.
-
I am starting from scratch. I have a bike, helmet, gloves, shoes, lights for my bike. I haven't done anything like this in my life but I would love to do it. I would start with a couple of overnight trips to get a feel of what it is like and then later in the summer after I feel more prepared I would like to do it. I have…

What day in August is IMOhio? I haven't signed up for the 1/2 ironman I was planning on in August to do in Michigan. I am actually looking for one that is closer to home. I live close to western Ohio.
