Wow- food??? What is that- I have no idea what I really consumed this week besides dinner from last night. We were at a wedding- so it was beans, potatoes, chicken, steak and salad. Beans were good! Otherwise- I have no clue. This week was a blurr. I know I had several salads and tuna […]
My journal is short and sweet today. My blood sugars have been in the range of 83-96 post 2 hrs eating over the last week, even while on vacation. I am slowly regaining energy and feeling like myself so I have started riding the elliptical and weight training again. It is about time!! I am […]
