Hi! I'm just checking in to see how everyone is doing! I'm really "up" today for some reason, eventhough I'm really sleepy. I have a crustless pumpkin pie in the oven and as soon as that comes out I'm going to take a nap before I go to work.
My boss and buddy Kyle did come to WW meeting today. I'm so happy !!! He's just such a great guy and it's great to have an accountability partner at work now! We'll keep eachother in line...heaven knows I need someone to smack my hand when I start to reach for the vending machine!
I was such a good girl..eventhough it was cold and sprinkling when I came home, I pulled out my IPOD, pulled on my jacket and took my walk. I picked up some beautiful fall leaves for my Sunday school class's art project we are making...so I feel like it was a worthwile endeavor.
I hope everyone is having a great week! Take care...Love,

Good for you!!!! I am sooo proud of you going for your walk!!!!
Today I am not good. So it helped reading your joyful post!
I have been having blood sugar troubles. I may have just overdone, but I really feel bad today and not much like eating. I even had to cancel a lunch date at the park (it's pretty today after all those storms) with my WW leader and friend Sherri and her girls. I've had very few points, but when I get to this point (the ketones are up more than the blood sugars) if I don't eat VERY lightly....it comes back up...so why put myself through it. I crave salty stuff, but that is actually good because I need to drink A LOT to get rid of the ketones, so the salt makes me thirsty. I am still eating WW friendly...just not much (I've had 100 cal pack of Cheese-its and am fixing to eat a mini bag of popcorn)
Oh well.....tomorrow is another day.....

Honey, I'm so sorry that you're feeling bad. You know, I have a friend who owns an herb shop and he's big into the whole nutrition/holistic healing thing. He's putting me on cinnamon capsules...4 a day. I am going to buy some pure cinnamon (stronger than you can get in the store) from him...not too expensive really, and some empty gelatin capsules. He's going to show me how to make the capsules.
David says that cinnamon turns on the insulin receptors and regulates insulin. You might ask your endocrinologist if it would be ok for you...but cinnamon also helps control carb cravings (my big problem). I've heard of diabetics benefitting from cinnamon before.
I sure hope you feel better...please take care of yourself! You are greatly loved sister!
Feel better and rest....Colette

cinnimon does help diabetics. When I was at home, I made my mom oatmeal every day and put drops of cinnimon oil in hers. Just a drop or two and when I was staying with her, her blood sugar was more steady that it was or is now. Too bad that my husband and my dad don't get along.
Ok...never got my vitamins so I'll check on that at the same time! Thanks!
