Marge

Along with a good night’s sleep. I need to get back to my medition. It really helps me. Hospice warned me I would have some very bad days. If you have a terminally ill loved one, they are wonderful. They help you through the grieving process, but just when you think you have things under control, some small remark or thought will trigger an outburst.  

    So much for my selfish blog yesterday. I have found a couple of little things that are helping me with the weight. I use the butter spray for baked potato—It says 0 cal .. I called the company and asked how many calories in the whole bottle and it is 300. Now I know how many days the bottle lasts me, so I can calculate the daily use [for me 20 cals. a day.] I love Paul Newman lite salad dressings, but fat content still too high. After I get the bottle of dressing really cold I pour off the fat congealed onthe top. Repeat, if necessary.     Come on,Buddies, have a great weekend and come back refreshed and happy. Love to you. Hugs.

What is wrong with me that I let friends and loved ones drive me up the wall [or to the carbs]? I truly love them and care when they are upset about something, but sometimes I just want to scream and throw the phone out the window. If it is something serious, I will try to help anyway I can. I will loan money, babysit, and listen. But sometimes I just want to yell “GROW UP” and stop whining at me. I guess you can tell this has been one of those days. Some things are so trivial, but this is my fault. I should have a better response. I’m going to screen my calls the rest of the afternoon. Trouble is they know I can’t get out long in a wheelchair in this heat.  All youse guys have a GREAT day. And I’ll shut up now or you’ll be screening my blogs. You can’t get out of this world alive anyway.

This pound really wanted to stay with me. Thank you, Buddies, for all your advice and comfort and the nagging I begged you from you. You listened to me whine, want to give up, and you were still my buddies. Can’t ask for more. You are a great group. Now on with the plan and hoping you have a grand day. Be a loser everyone. Losers are winners. Oh, can anyone tell me the truth about Equal, the sweetner? One of my friends tells me of many adverse side effects [she weighs 105 and does not have diabetes]. The internet seems to have both pro and con. Hugs. 

I need to cut my carbs, but I also need to watch the amount of protein. I guess more veggies and salads. My kidney function is a little off. Having trouble with by- products of protein. BUN was elevated. Now that I have bored you to death, have a great day— and GO FOR IT. Hugs, the former Marge.

I was late getting out for w/c racing and after 45 mins. am hot, sweaty and cranky. Trying less bread with meal plan. I love breads, and they love me so much they keep hanging on my body. Hope you have a great day and hope this blog gets through. If not keep looking for me. I’m somewhere out in cyber space floating around.

You must tell him’”I will.”[Half my blog disappeared a minute ago. ]Even though I keep my diabetes within normal ranges, he wants more. He wants me to be the very best I can be. Protect my eyes, heart, and kidneys from the ravages of this disease. Awwww spoil sport. I WILL LOSE 10 MORE LBS. Nag me a little. Where are you WW? with your great example.

Even though my control of my diabetic condition is within normal ranges, my doctor wants more. He wants me to be the best that I can be. I know the health of my heart, kidneys and eyes depend on this. Awwww, spoil sport. I will lose 10 more pounds or BUST. Just a 10 lb. loss can mean so much. Need more exercise. Will try small weights because my shoulders and neck ache all the time from my wheelchair races I race against myself and the clock. I WILL DO THIS. Thanks for all the support you have given me. I want to live to see my Great grand children.

Scales… I hate scales, I loathe scales. I know I stayed on my eating plan and exercised all week but the scales did not budge. Now is the time for action. DO NOT GIVE IN. Stay with the plan. Could be sodium, I ate hummus for a late dinner. I would think it was hormones, but I don’t have any. Oh well, keep on keeping on. Have a great day Buddies.

Song from my favorite singer. songwriter. May be true but life is still good. Everyone have a great weekend and ENJOY. Laugh anytime you get the chance. Life is short and I want to die with no regrets. Big Hug.

 Thank all of you for your prayers. My daughter-in-law stopped yesterday on her way home from treatment. They found a new lesion in her neck but it’s not in her spine. After a blood transfusion last week they have bumped up her chemo. Now back to exercise and not eating everything in the kitchen[for me]. Again, thank you so much. I’m here if you need me. Marge.
