I DID IT! YEAH ME!

I lost another 9 pounds bringing it to a total of 46 pounds lost never to be found again. Another thing I found out when I went to the Doctor's was that my liver functions are back to normal, A1C is 6.7 which for someone with Diabetes is an great number. My other test were great except my cholesterol which was a tiny bit too high, but based on my diabetes medicine it was to be expected so I just need to take a new medicine to help bring it down and keep on working out, eating right and generally watching my Carb intake because it is all about the carbs in food and not the sugar. I had taken a Diabetes Education class last week and boy was it ever very informative and I learn a lot of things that I never knew and had some old things brought up to date.

Most of the people who were the educators in the class all had diabetes or have been working in this field for a long time, they just returned back from the diabetes conference in New Orleans and were able to inform us of the newest discoveries and guess what there wasn't that many. The main focal points are the same as they have always been. Diet, exercise, take your meds and lose weight.

I want to thank all my friends and family members for supporting me and loving me as they do as well as Heavenly Father for showing me that I am somebody.

This and that

Well this weekend was crazy busy. First on Friday we had to take the dog to the vet, by the way in case you didn't know we adopted a Siberian Husky from the Animal Control, and he was not happy. Shawn finally got a hair cut and is much happier these days. Then we started cleaning house knowing that we would not have time to do much on Saturday. On Saturday we had to get up early because Shawn had a Lacrosse game at 9:00 Am and my mother was going to come and watch him play. She got there during the Third quarter, we lost the game so it was about 10:15 before we got done. Went back to the house so my mom could see where we lived and then she left at 11:30 AM. My mom lives in Florida and had come up to Maryland on Tuesday to see my niece graduate and she is leaving tomorrow. We then had to take the dog back to the Vet to get his shots because I forgot to take his records with me on Friday. Shawn was with Ron so Steven and I decided to get lunch and by that time I had a massive migraine. I was supposed to go to a baby shower but with the migraine I just went to sleep, got up about 4 hours later and has to take Steven to work and go to the store to get the items to make cheesecakes. Came home and made two cheesecakes one plain and one chocolate.

On Sunday got up and went to church, had lunch with some friends as we had a friend visiting from out of town. Took Steven to work, came home and took the dog on a long walk, in the mean time Shawn broke the toilet so Ron had to come and fix that, he also replaced a light fixture in my hallway that was as UGLY as sin. I think it was a model from the 60's. (Shudder) Picked Steven up from work and went to bed. I was thinking well, next weekend should be less active, but nope the next 6 weekends are going to be just as busy. I thought my life would get easier once school was out----silly me!
