I thought I was gonna throw up after my shower. Didn't eat my morning snack. And I messed up, I thought my appointment with my coach was at 11. it was at 10:30. When I got to the office she was already seeing the 11 O'clock appointment, so I didn't get to see her. Bummer I really wanted to talk to her about when I don't feel so good, what should I do about not eating. Amazingly enough I got a parking spot right across from the building, usually I have to park in the parking garage, which is a long walk. Because of not feeling good the thought of walking all the the way from the garage into the building was a very frustrating thought. I prayed on the way that by some miracle there would be a parking spot in front of the building. Thank you God for hearing that prayer! 5:30 creamed beef on 2 pieces of white toast 1 small apple 60 carbs 8:30- 6 wheat thins and 1 cube cheddar cheese 20 carbs. 119 carbs for the day.

Weight 179.4 blood sugar 127 10 AM fiber plus bar 24 carbs. Saw my coach today. I need to eat more often and more food. 30-45 carbs for breakfast 2 snacks 15-30 carbs and lunch and dinner 45-60 carbs. Had a McDonald's Caesar salad for lunch, didn't really like the grilled chicken but made myself eat some of it. (the puppy was glad to eat the rest for me) Ate about half the lettuce and use 1/2 a packet of dressing, I'm guessing about 30 carbs. I should eat some crackers to add carbs to this meal, but since it's late and I have to eat a snack in 2 hours and I'm full so I won't today, but I need to slowly add more carbs into my lunches. Lunches are the worst, I hate sandwiches, not really into leftovers, have to be careful with the salads. Afternoon snack-trail mix- 30 carbs. Dinner- 2 chicken tenderloins, mushrooms, zucchini, marinated in light mayo and Italian dressing (made kabobs) grilled, 1/2 cup of chaytoe (first time trying this vegetable, different not too bad) I meant to make some brown rice but I forgot until dinner was on the table and I had already rounded up all the kids, which is no small feat, so we skipped the rice. Only about 30 carbs for dinner. 8:30 1 small piece of carrot cake with frosting 30 carbs. 134 carbs for the day.

Medical Need Now

It is now medically necessary for me to loose weight. Really it probably was before because of all the things wrong with my heart. But now I have been diagnosed with high cholesterol and diabetics. I'm not sure when I really started loosing some weight but I know it was the highest I have ever been in my life. This morning I weighed 182.1, a goal I set was to be 175 by Easter. I don't think that's going to happen, unless I can some how add some exercise in to my day. It's not that I don't have time, because I certainly have time since I haven't been working since January, when I injured my back. The problem is I can't walk for long or move much because of the back. So what kind of exercise can I do? I'd love to try water aerobics and see what that felt like. But a gym membership is not possible right now with our finances.
I'm going to try to keep a log of my blood sugars, weight, and food intake daily on this blog with notes on how I slept, felt etc.
Last night I had a hard time sleeping, I finally feel asleep after 2 AM someone was up make a racket from 6 AM to 10 AM. I fell asleep only to be woken up by Joseph at 10:50 for a ride to school. I quickly got dressed and checked my blood sugar which was 152, pretty high fasting blood sugar and the highest it has been since I started testing 2 weeks ago. I did drink some water taking my meds, but not a lot after not drinking all night, I need to drink a full glass every morning. After dropping Joseph off at school I stopped at Sonic and got a grilled chicken sandwich on a wheat bun with mayo and lettuce, a small tater tot and a small diet coke. I shared 1/2 of the chicken with the puppy, ate less than half of the roll, but ate most of the tater tots. 2 hours past blood sugar was 145. High still. Not to mention tater tots? Wasn't that great of a meal plan to lower my cholesterol. Rachel made dinner tonight. She's really in this kick of wanting to cook. She made Steak Um sandwiches on huge white hoagie rolls with cheese sauce and french fries. I had made a salad to go with dinner, but she wanted us to save the salad for tomorrow nights spaghetti. I ate some of the meat, but I really don't like that meat, some cheese sauce and nearly all of the roll. I didn't eat any french fries. I did have a cup of water with dinner, 2 hours post dinner blood sugar was 148.
Not great meals today, high blood sugars and not enough water. And no fresh fruit or vegetables :( All in all not a great day.
