Went to the dr yesterday. He put me on some medication for the time being. My blood sugar levels did go down a bit from 280 to 222. So I am happy about that. I guess you just got to get and stick to a diet and exercise plan.

For the next 3 weeks it is going to be crazy... Troy has 3 installs in a row... Not too happy about that one but it will be all right... Just going to be a very long 3 weeks...

Still eating healthy... Kinda hard at times but I know I will win this battle... I am tired right now... Robbie kicked me out of my bed this morning at 3:00... Told me that he needed his daddy... I think he knows that Troy is going to be gone for some time... Poor kid... What sucks the most is that I am going to miss him too... At least he will be home on the weekends...

It's another monday... I don't really like mondays but today isn't too bad... Troy and I started our garden on Saturday... Big mistake on my part was the fact that with the sun I should have worn longer sleeves... Because of some medication I was on I have developed a rash on my arms and my legs... Scary... It itches a bit but not all that bad... Of course also because I did all the work I have a really bad back ache... I heart my husband so much...

Some other good news... My step mom is moving to Ohio at end of May... and My younger brother David is finally coming home after 5 years of being in the military. He flys home on friday this week and then will stay in California for a few days then home to Ohio... Then out here... He is going to move to Colorado and get a job here... I am soooo happy for him

Well gotta run

It's been a quiet day not too much going on here. The next few months are going to be busy busy busy... Troy is going to be out of town for most of them which sucks but what are you going to do. Just means I have to figure out what I am going to do about my night walks... Looks like I am going to have to either start walking at lunch or just come in early and leave at 4:30 do my walk then pick up Robbie... Oh well I will think of something...

This weekend Troy wants to start planting a garden... I hope it rains... (I know sounds horrible but I just am not a great person to do that type of stuff)

Bored now... want to go home

Went to Chili's last night for dinner... Had something called the mile high chicken grill... was very good... Robbie had cheeseburger and french fries... Troy had a bacon cheeseburger...

It's Wednesday... Not a whole lot going on today... Think that it is going to be a bit busy... Don't really feel like working so I am going to call someone... Calling Pat from where I used to work... I love Pat she reminds me of my mom at times... She is just one of the best... She also has Type 2 diabetes... So she has alot of info for me... But she hasn't been doing to well... The people I used to work with are assholes towards her lately... She needs a new job...

But anyways... Life will go on for her... I need to go visit her at her home... She needs a friend...

Well

So eating better is pretty hard to do... This weekend sucked but I managed to eat pretty good just not what I wanted to eat... But today I was great... For breakfast I ate grapes/yoguart, had some pretzels for a mid morning snack... lunch had a Healthy Choice meal (turkey and potatos) and a cucumber for mid afternoon snack I ate pretzels and the rest of my cucumber... Dinner was great... I found this wonderful chicken recipe on the American Diabetes website for chicken Parmesan... with some veggies... Lets just say that it was wonderful wonderful wonderful... Troy cooked it up for me... I love it when he works from home... Dinner is pretty much done when I walk in...

But then of course my main drink now adays is well Water... I drink water pretty much all day... Sometimes I pretend and think that it is mountain dew but it doesn't taste the same...

Well it is time for my walk so see ya!!

Later days

It's the afternoon... Not too much going on... Went to the store got some groceries... and found myself a new outfit... I really hate shopping... not much else... Troy is running away to Lowes or Home Depot for some screen to fix a few in the house... and to pick up some ant traps... We have ants... it sucks but we will deal with them... I really hate those ants...

later days

Another day in good ol Colorado... It looks like it might be a bit cooler than yesterday but shouldn't be too bad... Have a few things I need to do today like, go to the store and pick up a few things and just relax today... My legs are pretty sore from last nights walk but no matter it will be all right... Just got to go and walk some more...

Woke up early again today thanks to the monster we call Robbie... He woke up at 7:15 today... Now why is it that during the week he doesn't like getting up but on the weekends he is up and at em in the morning... Crazy... Troy was saying this morning that he can't wait until he is a teenager so that we can actually sleep in on the weekends...

Started talking about maybe next year the fam going on an Alaskan Cruise... Should be pretty cool... Could be lots of fun to do this with Troy, Robbie, mom in law, sis in law and dad in law... We shall see what happens...

Gotta run

Today was a great day... Very beutiful outside... sun was shining the flowers are a blooming... and well all in all it was just a nice day....

I started to walk last night... According to the doc that is something I should start doing... Walking for 30 minutes a day... So last night walked with Cindy (a friend) and her daughter Autumn... We went to a place called Waneka Lake... It is just a little lake and around it is a trail about 1.4 miles long. Takes about 20 minutes to walk around depending how fast you walk... Well walking with Cindy we went a bit slower than normal... But tonight I grabbed my husbands ipod and I was just a cruising... Took me about 20 minutes and then I decided to just kinda walk around the car to give my legs some rest... It was a good walk... Something about being outside and the fresh air plus good music always helps... Now I just got to get the eating down right... I have been doing all right with eating but sometimes it is hard... I do have to say that it isn't all that bad it just takes some will power... For the past 2 days now I have had a craving for Taco Bell... and I am proud of myself I didn't even stop... That felt excellent... and the idea of a soda just not appealing...

Talked to my little sister today to let her know what was going on with me and she had some other news for me.... My little bro Tommy, well his wife Tarrah is pregnant... She has 3 girls already and he has a boy (Jordan). So this will make 5 for them... CRAZY!!! But I am happy for him... he is hoping for a boy but will take what GOD gives him... So GOD if you are listening give him a boy... At least this one will have our last name... and that is an entire other story....

WEll all

So if you read in Troy's blog you heard about his hernia... Yes it is fixed... Took us for a loop at first... But now it is my turn....

A few months back we decided that it was about time to get our life insurance policys started... So we did... I got denied... Reason being my blood sugar levals were really high and I mean high... Plus the cholestral (Spelling) was a big one to... but back to the sugar...

So since I got my test results back I decided that it would be a good thing to go to the dr and have him check it out... He looked at the results and says: I think we need to get more blood out of you... and test it for myself... just to make sure... So we did... Got the results back and yep still high... Which brings us to the conclusion of me being a TYPE 2 Diabetic... NICE... Not to worry I just have to 1: Loose weight (he suggested in a nice way to start loosing weight) and 2: eat better... NO more taco bell and no more Mountain Dew... (a feat hard to beat)... But I have to do this in order to control what I have... I will prevail... But yeah... So it is going to be all right... I promise I will be all right...
