This morning began well enough. I had a small piece of quiche. We decided to go to the movies.
We were cutting it close to late, but we would only miss the previews. I got out of the shower and got dressed in one of my favorite pairs of pants. As I was getting dressed, Steph stepped out of her shower ... kinda limpy-gimpy. She had bent down to pick up a bra and pulled her back. She still wanted to go to the movies - I thought we should cancel, but we geared up to go.
I was all set to beat the Theater Challenge! I would get a diet cola at the concession stand and have it refilled for the second movie, thus halving its price. Caffeine is an appetite suppressant, right? Plus, I brought a baggy of nuts and some low-carb bars for snacking. I wasn't about to give into the candy and popcorn monsters!
We got out to the car to see we were parked a little close to the next car. I was going to drive since Steph's back hurt. Getting in was a tight squeeze, but I made it! However, my pants didn't! As I sat down, my pants ripped from taint to pooper. So much for a favorite pair of pants! This was going to make us even later. I ran in and changed pants, ran out and squeezed back into the car. Someday I'm going to be tall and skinny and such things will not concern me.
We get to the theater, Steph suggested that she get out and buy tickets while I parked. She said "Owie! Owie! Owie!" as she got out. Sitting for four hours of movies suddenly became a very bad idea.
She got back in the car and we headed to the store. We bought frozen burger patties and kosher dogs and whole grain buns. I grilled them up. I put two patties on one bun and two dogs on another bun. Sure, it was carbs, but if you have to have bread, it was the best way to go!
Dinner was marinated chicken over salad. Dessert was a can of fruit cocktail in Splenda. There were nuts for a snack.
Food was a win. Activities and clothes were a total loss!

Hi Jericho!
I just found your blog from Squishy's page, and have been reading it. You have definitely been trying, and I commend you in your efforts!
However, I am worried about your health in one aspect specifically. If you have been having blood sugar readings in the 3-400's, you have gone from pre-diabetic to full-blown diabetic. You really, really need to contact your doctor immediately and be seen. He/she will probably add another type of medication for your diabetes, possibly even insulin. Don't be afraid of that....it is scarier to have your blood sugar up all the time...it can really do damage to your body if it is high.
I am no weight loss expert, but I am a nurse, and know a lot about diabetes. I don't want to see you go for long without getting real treatment, especially when you are trying to get yourself healthy!
Do yourself a favor, and call your doctor tomorrow, okay? And don't give up...you can do this!!
I'm calling tomorrow. Check out my next post.
I hope to see you around the blog more often! :)
