Monday

Today I had a yogurt for breakfast and a taco for lunch. I need to get some fresh fruit for the house, I did have a nice salad for dinner with slices of steak it was really good. I went out on service today but it was raining like cats and dogs outside. Tonight on the news they showed a water back up into the streets in San Francisco and there was like 2 feet of water in some local coffee shops. It was so bad, I guess the water came so fast that is didn't have a place to go.
I am trying to be careful with my knee, I go see the Doctor November 9, he is the one that will do the surgery and replace my knee. I should try and go swimming, at lease I could get a little exercise that wouldn't be hard on my knee.

Wednesday

Today is Wednesday, I did my blood sugar this morning and it was in the 130. So starting today I am going back on the diet where you eat ever 2 hour. I was doing really well on that but you know how it is. One piece of cake, a little candy and you off. I can not do that anymore. I went to the knee Doctor yesterday and I was thinking I would just have to have a small surgery and my knee would be better, come to find out I need my knee replaced. I really was not happy about that, I like to be independent, but when you have something like that done I am going to need a little help from my friends. They are always willing to help but I hate to ask. It was nice with my husband was alive I would help him if he need something done and he would help me. But that is not the way it is anymore so I have to deal with it. I know if I got some of the weight off it would be better for my knees. So I am going to wait until the beginning of the year to have it done. my receipt for the day is :
Tuna stuffed mini Pita lunch or dinner
4oz tuna fish water packed, low sodium
1/4 large celery stalk
1 mini (4 inch) pita pocket
2 tbsp. mayonnaise, low fat
directions: take tuna, diced celery, Mayonnaise and mix and stuff into mini pita

Monday

Today is Monday and we are suppose to have a 3 inch rain storm with 50 mile an hour winds tomorrow. I am going to write down everything tomorrow and get back in the grove. I have kind of gotten off track while I was sick, I now am feeling better. I am going to eat a half of a yogurt tonight and see what my blood sugar is in the am.

Friday

Good Morning everyone! Hope your day is starting off in a good way. Did my blood this morning and it was only 115, that is really good. It is hard right now because I can not walk because of my knee. I go back to the Doctor next week. According to the other therapist I have two tares in my knee, by the end of the day it is twice the size of the other one. So I have to do a little then sit down. So doing any exercise like walking or riding a bike is not possible at this time. I will just have to sit down and try and do something that way. Went to my grand sons baseball game last night, it was a good game but it was cold in Sebastapol. I think winter is comming, I wish I had a nice fireplace, so when it is cold and wet I would be sitting infront of the fire. Today is Friday and we have the weekend to look forward to, stay safe and I will write soon.

Tuesday

Last night I did a bad thing, I had a piece of cake. When I did my blood sugar this morning it was 179, not good. I should not of had that cake yesterday it made my blood sugar go way up, not what we want. So today it is back to eating right, I will have a yogurt for breakfast, I eat the lite one that is 80 to 100 calories. So there is no more sugar today, it is hard to stay away from sweets and if you have bread it does the same thing. I have gotten some apples and carrots and I will snack on them and see how I do today. They have these new whole wheat buns, they are real thin and a 100 calories for the whole bun, give them a try. So here is your recipe for the day. This is a snack: Ham and apple salad eat at 10 or 3

1 green onion
2oz. low sodium, lean slice ham
1/2 table. low fat may.
1 tsp. mustard
1/2 small apple
rinse and dice , then add may. and mustard, toss until well combined.

Monday

Well it is Monday, I did my blood sugar this morning and it was 130, a little high. I had a yogurt for breakfast, then a 1/2 tuna sandwich for lunch and the other 1/2 at three. Then for dinner I had a shrimp salad it was very tasty. I don't know how people do it that have a couple of kids to feed. It is getting harder and harder for everyone to make ends meet. So I guess it is good for us to eat less then it won't cost so much. So keep trying to loose, it is hard, I seem to loose a couple of pounds then I get the urge to eat something sweet. Well I will keep trying.

Sunday

Tomorrow is a new week, I will start writing down what I eat. I am finally over the flu, thank goodness. So I will start tomorrow by checking my blood and see what we have. I ate my yogurt tonight so that will make my blood sugar lower in the am. Take care and have a good night sleep.
