Today is clear liquid day and guess what James is doing? Cooking beans and making the whole house smell like food. He is also going to make some barbacue.
I was down this morning to 180.25 and my BS was 101. Guess I will sit around and read today and start the prep for my test tomorrow.
So far I am sipping on a caffine free diet coke and sipping on a cup of beef bullion. I have made myself two cups of lemon jello that I will have later today. Probably more beef bullion for supper. Not going to be a fun day.

Today I was down a pound. Now weigh 181.25. My BS was 95 which was good. I am suppose to start a low residue diet today so I am having 2 pieces of bacon and a piece of toast for breakfast and a diet coke. Tomorrow I have to have all liquids. I hope the bacon does not cause me any gout problems. More later. My BS two hours after breakfast was 119 which was excellent.
For supper I had a large baked potato with butter and chese on it. Now I am having a cup of green tea. That will be it for today. I was really hungry when I ate the potato. It tasted delicious. Feet have felt better today.

I am facing the consequences of my bad eating yesterday. !. My BS was 119. That is about 20 points more than it should of been. 2. My weight was up 1/4 pound. So it is now 182.25. I am going to try to do better today.
I didn't eat breakfast because I knew we were going out for lunch. We went to the Cracker Barrell and I had 4 pieces of grilled chicken (160 calories), green beans (70 calories), Hash brown casserold (155 calories) And I also had two biscuits with butter and one of them had strawberry jelly. I took the insides out of one of the biscuits. I think calorie wise I am good on everything except I should of only ate one biscuit. Maybe half of one with my meal and the other half with the jelly. Also carb wise that would be the one thing I should of not had.
I will probably need to eat something very light for supper to be back on track.
The only other thing I ate today was 2 peanut butter and crackers out of a 6 pack and some diet coke so I could take my medicine. The Allpurniol is suppose to be taken with food.

This morning my BS was 91. That was great. I now weigh 182. I am going to TOPS this morning and weigh in. I probably wouldn't go if it wasn't the first Saturday in the new year because my foot is still hurting. James is going to take me. Then I am going to meet June and Donna at Applebees for lunch. That is all I am going to do today. I plan to go to church tomorrow so I need to stay off my foot as much as possible. I will write more when I get back.
Well I went with June and Donna for lunch. I did pretty good. I had a quesidella burger and I didn't eat but 1/4 of the tortilla shell that it is served in. I got steamed vegetables instead of the fries and I got a bowl of French Onion Soup. I also drank water.
Later James fixed soup and fried fish and he wanted me to eat some of the fish so I had 1 piece of fish and a bowl of beef cabbage soup. I drank a coke. So that was all good but later I got hungry and had 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on 2 slices of bread and that wasn't so good. But the worse thing I did was have a handful of candy corn. It was just like I had to have something sweet. It could of been worse but it also could of been much better.
Looking back here is what I should of done. 1. Not had the soup at Applesbees. 2. Only ate 1/2 the burger with the tortilla shell. (That would probably been better than eating all of the meat.) 3. I shouldn't of eat the fish (It was just one small piece) but should of ate the beef cabbage soup with 1 tablespoon peanut butter on 1 slice of bread. 4, Should not of eaten any of the candy corn. I need to get some low calorie sweet to eat when I really want something sweet badly.
But tomorrow is another day.

January 1, 2010
The past year has not been the best year. I have had lots of health problems. I had an AIC in May of 6.5 so I started losting weight and then my gout started. Now they say I have Neuropathy. I am on several medicatons now and life is just not so pleasant. I am going on Wednesday of next week for a colonoscopy and endoscopy which I am worried about. I am going to try to get my BS under complete control this year and lose some more weight. My BS this morning was 98 which is very good. I ate breakfast of l boiled egg, 1 slice toast with 1 tsp butter on it and 1 slice bacon and a diet coke. Two hours later my BS was 125 which was excellent. Then I had a Special K bar a couple hours later. It had 90 calories and 17 carbs. The big problem I have now is not only counting calories but watching carbs. Watching carbs is a lot harder than counting calories. My weight this mornign was 183.75. So I have really got to work at it. My feet are hurting so bad today that it is hard to walk. I am trying to stay off of my feet and not do a lot. The past two days I went out shopping and my feet are much worse. Wednesday I was out most of the day. And yesterday I was out about 4 hours. That is going to have to stop. I feel very pitiful limping when I go out. It is not something you can hide. I will write more after I eat supper. O.K. I have eaten supper and I had chicken in stir fry. 1 sugar free chocolate pudding, diet coke. I probably needed to have another carb with supper. My foot is still hurting and I have done nothing today but sit in the chair and play on the computer some. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I also had 1/2 apple before bedtime.
