Hey All,
Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and got all my lab results back. Apparently I have been on death's doorbell for quite some time, I'm glad he was out busy collecting others and didn't realize I was trying to get in....sheesh.
A1C = 12.3
Cholesterol: = 230
These were the bad numbers
Everything else was in a decent range, thank GOD!
I have to go to the cardiologist tomorrow and I also get a CT scan tomorrow to figure out what is going on with my lymph node behind my ear, its freaking out on me too.
Either way, I have still been doing well. Nothing remarkable to report. Just trying to keep myself focused on making positive changes and enjoying my life more. Tired of hiding.
Angel posted a comment saying it was too bad it took all of this.....unfortunately, I'm just one of those people....I have to get hit by the bus to move out of the street.
Its okay though, I just know what matters now and I'm excited about changing. I want to see these numbers go down....I will update tomorrow on what happens at the cardiologist.....eeeeeekkkkkkk.
Hugs....

Doing well so far...
Hey again,
So the stats are, I am down from 334 to 323.2 weight wise since the 16th of Janurary. BS wise, I'm down from 589 to 169.....so things are looking up!
I have been cataloging EVERYTHING that I put into my food hole....its actually starting to become a welcomed thing to do. I have walked everyday since the 16th of January as well, except for Sunday. I have officially decided that I take Sunday off.
I made it to 6 laps on Saturday, which is really good because I had only been doing 4 laps. So this week my goal is to walk 5 laps everyday until Saturday and on Saturday I will bump the next week up to 6 laps each day until the following Saturday after that......baby steps.
I have worked myself up to 5 liters of water a day as well. I actually look forward to drinking my water now where as before I would dread it.
Changes are happening.....nearly dying makes it easier to change I guess......hell, whatever works!
Hugs to you all and best wishes on continued motivation and success!!!!

So, this must be the last stop on this route.....
I'm here and I'm here to stay....good or bad, I must be true to this way of life.
So, guess what happened.....I almost went into a diabetic coma...yep. Sure did. BS was 589. Then it just said "Hi" and it wasn't passing by or being polite.....that translated to "What did you not understand about 589, your blood sugar is molasses"
Went to the ER and I'm still here. This just happened on Monday. I am pretty ashamed that I let myself get to that point. I didn't even realize how bad off I was. I hadn't taken my BS in a month.....not good.
So, I am back with a vengence and guess what....no one even had to prod me into exercising...I scared myself enough to do it myself.
Hugs to you all, I won't quit this time. NEVER SAY DIE.....Let's do this.

322
Hey All,
So that is the number for the day. It's good number, a number I haven't seen since I started this thing....hoping off and on has not helped but I am finally back on with a seat belt and things are moving along at a decent pace.
Yesterday was an all around bad day personally, however, I am doing alright today. Lots of bills to pay this month so I'm not really sure how in the world I am going to make it through the month but God always provides and things come from amazing places to keep my family safe and covered by his grace, so I won't worry my life away over it. I do however have to be aware of how I am paying on things and how I am spending on things. Those are two TOTALLY differen things.
Well, wish me luck for the day and I wish the same for each and every one of you.
Hugs....

Blood Sugar Spike???!!!
Hello All,
So remember how I was saying that my blood sugar was doing well.......pump the brakes! I have no idea what is going on but it shot up on me today. Last night it was 85 and this morning it was 177...I took a second reading and that said 198!!!!! WTH???????
I have been really strict on myself and I have been doing what I would call very very well, what is the right hook from the diabetes department??? How dare you little sugars......I'll get you and your little dog too.....
Anyway, I am not going to fret, I have been taking my medications as prescribed, drinking my water and eating on plan...so, what's that you say??? Where is the exercise part??? Yeah, that thing. I do need to get on the good foot in regard to that.
So, that's it...red alert has been issued regarding why I need to exercise because I refuse to allow this good track of blood sugars to go wonky while I'm trying to do the right things....stuff like that makes you wanna say "I should have eaten the cake"....maybe looking at it cause the issue...I don't know, I just know I will not get frustrated and use this as an excuse to get off track.
I'm full speed ahead right now and I am going to keep moving forward. Scales went down again today, so that is a plus for me.
Hugs....

Feeling Great!
The scale is starting to move again. I am excited because I will be able to go grocery shopping either tomorrow or Friday and stock up on some more palatable items.
How is everyone else doing today?
Hugs!

Pizza....
So.....the office ordered pizza from my most favorite pizza place in Charleston, SC!!!!! Arrrggghhghhdhgahdfhlasdnhfpai h'wef'pids[djfashidflk'msd<> mfsjkcbhvio sn'vcmksd;kfj!!!!!!
I'm not stressed. lol.
I just thought it would be a good idea to blog about it.
I have a co-worker who is supportive of my endeavors and said to me. When people "mess up" often times we ask them "What made you think that was a good idea", when in reality the question should be "What made you think that was not a bad idea"
Once you allow the gate to open with, "Well maybe just this once" is when the flood gates of hell open wide and swallow you inside....lollolololololololol....Haaaaaa (ok, crazy cackling witch moment is over)
I am stronger than pizza. They will only be making it with even more pizza pizzayness when I get to goal weight and besides that I know how to make it Dukan style. Can't whip it up here at work, but I can if I have to have it.
Pizza wasn't even on my mind today, so how can I pine away for something I didn't even want in the first place. It's a trap and I have seen it an supassed it!
Score?
