It is hot and humid here in the midwest so I got up early to take a 3 mile walk. I kind of like getting it out of the way first thing in the morning. I'm gonna try to do that again in the morning. It sure cuts into my sleep though.
As you can see from yesterdays weigh in I haven't lost weight. I'm trying not to think about it. I feel like I'm doing all this walking and cutting back and nothing. I might as well be sitting on the couch eating chips. I mean, I wouldn't lose doing that either, so why am I putting this much effort into something that is not working? Because it has worked in the past. I just keep hoping that my body will start letting go soon. I have to keep in mind that I am a VERY insulin resistant diabetic and it WILL be harder for me.

Today was a lazy, PMS day. A cramping, bloating, irritable, exhausted, and feeling crappy most of the time, blah day. My mind has NOT been in a good place all day.
I know, I know too much information. I usually don't like to share info. So I made myself write the above because it's how I was truly feeling today. You see I'm not really much of a sharing person. Never have been. I share with my husband, my sister and my son, but not many people know the REAL me. I started this blog thinking that if I was truly anonymous I would share more. Nope, I'm still always thinking someone I know will stumble on to the blog. I know weird huh? I don't really know why I'm so guarded. Well, thats not entirely true. I live in constant fear of being judged. It comes from being judged as a kid and not being able to control the situation I was being judged for. I'm slowing working through it. So from now on I will try to write something personal everyday. Something I am uncomfortable with. :)

I tried today to keep the same schedule as I do when I'm working. I got real snacky feelings last night. I should have just went to bed. I knew my problem was that I was tired.

I almost had a melt down today. Work was awful, I felt tired, grumpy and tired. Did I say TIRED?? I got home feeling terrible without any plans as to what to eat for dinner. Which I know is a no-no for me. I got thru it without it being TOO bad. Not the best, but could have been worse.

I was thinking that rutabagas were low carb. Uhhhh....nope... :(
1 large rutabaga has 62.76 carbs /19.30 fiber =43.46 net carbs per large rutabaga, which is probably the serving I had. :( Guess I should have looked it up BEFORE I ate it. O'well. I think I might have made this same mistake before. Geez...

I'm feeling pretty good. I don't feel hungry or I should say I'm not in that craving mode. I like that feeling. Hope the Rutabaga doesn't bring on the cravings. It shouldn't that mostly happens for me when I get a hold of sugary foods.

I had a lot of problems with my sugar dropping on me today. I'm trying to keep that fine line. I'm scared to have it go up on me because of the infections I keep getting. So it's a guessing game to figure out what the low carb diet and the walking will do to me, then mix in there the clinic. Sometimes we are busy and sometimes we are not. I will work it out. It usually just takes awhile. So please don't use these menus as an example Low carb menu. While it is Lower carb then a normal diet it is still not the best.

The walk today was a hard one. My calf and shin started hurting about half way but it was too late to turn back. Just as far one way as it was the other. :)

I missed the season finally of House tonight. Hope I can find it on the Internet somewhere. Anyone else watch House? I'm a late bloomer when it comes to that show. I just started watching it. We have been watching reruns on Saturday nights.

It's nice to be back. :)

I've been tossing this around in my head for awhile now. I think I'm going to start blogging my meals again. I kept a food journal for a whole year. Well, not on here, I started blogging them about half way through. I'm feeling so much better and in control now. The food journal kept me honest. I've started walking again and I'm feeling great about it. I'm up to 2 to 3 miles 5 times a week and I try to get a bigger walk in on the weekends. Now I'm back on Low Carb. I initially gain 8 lbs with the walking but now I'm back to the weight I was on the 19th of March when I started walking, which is 256. I hate admitting I'm back up in the 250's when I struggled SOOO hard to get out of them.

We went out last night for our anniversary. It was wonderful. We had a salad, steak and green bean in place of a potato. We asked that the rolls not be brought to the table and informed the waitress we were low carbers due to my diabetes. She was so pleasant about about it. When she came to the table with our salads she informed us she did not put the croûtons on the salad and asked if we wanted them. Of course, we didn't. I had forgot to tell her no croûtons. Everything was wonderful and the green beans were GREAT. I did not feel deprived at all. Which is what usually happens if I have to substitute something I don't want in place of something I know would taste wonderful. I'm glad we were alone because I don't think I could have handled those rolls at our table.

I think it is all in the attitude. I have to remember that. :)

The walk today was great. When we set out we really didn't have an idea of where we were going, then decided on walking to a Big R store. When we came home and took the car back there to see how far it was, it was 6.2 miles. :) If it hadn't been raining it would have been better. I have so much energy, wish I had this much energy all the time.

I walked 2 miles at lunch today.
Back on track today. YEA!!!
That is the reason for the small lunch. After my walk I wasn't real hungry and thought I would just wait. Ended up just having the sunflower seeds.

I'm walking a 5k this Saturday. :)

Infection is doing better. Antibiotics doing their job. I hate taking those things. I really need to do some research to figure out how to get my immunity up. I've been taking probiotics since Nov. 2009. I know my sleep pattern doesn't help it any.

All in all, I'm still working on me.

Edit: Grrrrrr, didn't make it low carb. I ended up getting a snack pac size bag of chips, 5 mini reese cups and 5 mini banana muffins. Oh, and a glass of milk. Grrrrr. I was craving SOOO bad. Once I slipped I just went all out and said forget it. I will try again. Wish I would have been more prepared for those craving I know I always get. But just decided I was going back to low carb and did it without preparing for the worse of it. Grrrrrrrr

I'm feeling the need to ....... I don't even know. I have another infection. This time on my eye lid. I stayed home from work today because I look like a monster. Went to the doctor, gave me another round of antibiotic. I've been better since I was in the hospital in Nov/Dec. I was put on IV Vancomycin treatments for 30 days after leaving the hospital. But I'm still having outbreaks. I've been tested many times for MRSA. I don't have MRSA. I have Staphylococcus aureus which is EVERYWHERE on EVERYONE. But for some reason (probably due to the diabetes) my body isn't fighting it the way it should. It seems to be fighting them better lately. This is the first round of antibiotics since the hospital stay. So that is something I guess. I really wish I knew the cause. I went through another tough patch of insomnia lately. Did I get my resistance down? Some people believe it's hormonal. I just ended my female cycle. Could it be that? I looked on the Internet and some people believe its in the toxic rain. It did rain here a few days ago and I was out in it. Is it that? Who knows, Lord knows I don't.

I really need to find my way back to low carbing. Been thinking about just writing a menu for myself and just following that over and over until I get back on track. I've done really well today so far, so now is the best time to start.

I've also joined several walking marathons and several Relay for Life events this year to keep myself moving. First one is next Saturday. I'm waiting for the Hubby to wake and I'm gonna talk him into doing a 3 mile walk with me today.

Hope everyone is doing great. I will make my way around to 'see' how all is doing. :)

Hey all my blogger friends,
Just thought I would jump in and give everyone an update.
I'm still here. Not really low carbing but I'm still 'watching' my carbs. I'm following doctors orders at this time. (not sure what I think about them, just following orders) I have been in the hospital. I'm still fighting this staph infection that I have been fighting since February. They have me on Vancomicin(sp?) by a central line now. I go in each morning and let them hook me up for a couple of hours. Hopefully this will do the trick and kill out this nasty bug for ever. Since I'm allergic to a LOT of the antibiotic and not being able to take the ones I need to kill the bug, the doctor said I have just been keeping the bug at bay and not really killing it off each time.

I hope this finds everyone well and I will try to make rounds on everyones blog to catch up with all of you.

Happy Holidays
Jo

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!!

I think I'm finally on the upward swing of this infection. I'm still dealing with the everyday care, but it's sooooo much better. The redness is almost gone and swelling is better. I still have to pack it twice a day (TMI - sorry) and that is very painful but I'm still much better than before. Getting stronger everyday.

Sorry, I feel like I've just abandoned the blog. I'm still keeping my menus in my handy dandy notebook (yes, I've been watching Blues Clues with my niece- LOL). I'll post them when I can.

Going to try to enjoy the last hoop-la of the summer and I'm going to go to the Labor Day Festival. Hubbies gonna drop me off so I don't have to walk as far. He's a great guy. :)

Hey all,
I'm still here.
I had surgery yesterday. I'm moving kind of slow. I've been fighting infection since the 1st week of August. I'm hoping I'm on the tale end of it now.

I am keeping track of my menus on paper and will list them soon. Sorry to say they have not been low carb.

Hope everyone is doing fine. I will catch up when I can.

I stayed home today see the doctor again. I have a bad infection and the doc wants to keep an eye on it.
Something that was said to me yesterday has my head spinning. I was talking to a dietitian friend of mine yesterday. I work with her. I was talking about my diabetes and this infection I have (which is the 2nd major one in 2 months now), I'm a little worried because this is what my Dad died from (complications of an infection due to diabetes). So I share my worries with her that I'm only 40 and I'm scared that complications are starting to arise in my health due to diabetes. I have worked with her in the past on my menus and my diabetes. She doesn't believe in Low Carb at all and makes it known to me frequently that she doesn't think I should be Low Carbing and doesn't believe it is the best thing for my health or my diabetes. We have went many rounds about this and we just usually agree to disagree. She again told me yesterday that I should be following the ADA diet recommendations. I again told her that even that diet was too high in carbs for me, that eating that many carbs per meal raises my BG so high I have to end up taking more insulin. (Okay, this is where it gets my head spinning) She told me that it's because I have been low carbing for so long that I have damaged my body's own ability to handle that many carbs and because I have been eating this way I may have done permanent damage to my body. This lady is a registered Dietitian !
I have always believed that what I'm doing is right thing for me. But I can't help but wonder, she has went to school, trained and worked in nutrition for more than 20 years. Could she be right?
Just for your FYI she also has a thing with doctors telling diabetics what to eat because she believes they should be referring those patients to a nutritionist. We have had the disagreement about what my doc says, I've showed her Dr. Berstein's book etc.
I just want to know what I'm doing is right and right for me. <<-sigh->>

As you can see menus have not been pretty. I'm hoping this will get me back on track.
I'm still struggling with this depression I'm going through. I do feel a little better. So maybe I'm on the upswing of things. I buried my Mom 2 years ago today. Having a tough time of it this year and again I have been using food to get through it.
On a good note, we finally got our rental property rented. It is very small so it is hard to rent out. That should take some of the financial hardship off of us. It won't re-leave it all but it's sure gonna help.

I'm posting this from work on my lunch hour. I usually don't as I know big brother is always watching. But I'm to the point that I just don't care. I feel out of control. Like I'm going through a sort of depression. My food is out of control. I keep feeding myself to make myself feel better. (It's not working, but I keep doing it anyway). It's like trying to make a child feel better with a sucker, but I'm not feeling better.
Part of it is worry over losing my job and not being able to pay for my son's schooling. Part of it is the two year anniversary of my Mom's death coming up (I miss her sooooooo much). Part of it is not getting a new job that I applied for. And Part of it is.........I don't know. I feel my insides shaking and I don't know what to do about it. I've tried to calm it with my normal crutch (food).

I hope this will pass soon. I don't know what to do about it. I'm keeping myself busy with chores and work. Trying to get my mind calmed and not thinking about it. But no matter what I do, it's there.

Thanks for listening. This has been affecting me for a while now. Maybe just getting it off my chest will help.

Made a run up by Chicago today to a Meat market. They had a terrific sale going on. We packed up our coolers and took off. We got pork steak, pork chops, hamburger, breakfast sausage, rib tips all for $1.00 a pound. Chicken leg quarters for .79 cents a pound and chicken wings for .69 cents a pound. Our freezer is stocked for awhile. If I lose my job (state budget cuts) at least we will be eating for awhile. :) Since we were going so far to get it, we made it worth our while. We ended up getting over 100 pounds of meat. We rode with my brother and his wife and split the gas money as to not add to the cost of the meat. We made sausage patties and hamburger patties up then packaged the rest in easy smaller family serving sizes.

My Mother in Laws and Father in Laws 59th wedding anniversary party.
The party went over great. EVERYONE showed up. They had all of their children there but one son and one grandson, who lives in New Mexico (their son got sick with the gout and couldn't make the trip. One grandson is in the Army stationed overseas) It was a total surprise.

I'm a little worried about my lunch today. We are having a carry in pot luck/baby shower. Since it's a baby shower too, I feel obligated to go. I was going to take a veggie tray but a friend of mine wanted my baked beans and said she would bring a veggie tray for me if I brought her my baked beans.

I've been reading Dr. Berstein's Diabetes Solution. Very interesting. So I've made some guidelines for myself to follow. The dr. recommends carbs being 6 breakfast / 12 lunch / 12 dinner. He also says for some it's better to ease into it (for BG reasons) So this is what I'm going to start with. The goal is to keep BG at a steady range, no high / low swings.

Goal
Breakfast 6 - 10 carbs / 14 - 20 protein
Lunch 12-20 carbs / ? protein
Dinner 12-20 carbs / ? protein

I haven't totally worked out the protein portion of this yet. According to Dr. Berstein it's what ever keeps you satisfied while keeping it consistent. So far the last few days my BG have been better than (my) normal. So I will have to tweak as I go.

I always feel like such a fraud when it comes to this blog. I'm not the 'low carber' I would like to be. I'm not a fine example and I'm not the perfect tool. I'm human, but does that give me an excuse. No, I think not.
Your get it live here folks. !!!!
Like I've always said, you get the good, the bad and the extremely ugly here at this 'low carb' blog. It's more of a time capsule (hence the name) of what I ate or am eating, rather than a low carb example for anyone. So please if your reading this, DON'T use me as an example for a low carb life style.
It is what it is. I'm a struggling 'low carber' who hasn't lost a pound all year because I keep screwing it up for myself. It's just my life. Believe it or not, I'm trying to change that.

A little insight on NewVision here: You can always tell when I'm stressed by my eating patterns. I'm a big time stress carb eater. Stress and sleeplessness gets me every time. I have both going on right now :( .

I wanted to respond to Harry's comment from Thursdays here. (Just in case Harry doesn't look at the responses.)
Harry, Your advise is ALWAYS welcome. I know that you are a very kind and gentle soul that is not going to run me through the ringer (or get mad if I don't take your advice)
So advise away!! Lord knows I need all the help I can get.

Got on the scales this morning cause I'm feeling swelled and bloated. WHOA! 10 pounds in 3 days. I'm sure MOST of it is water. I've even had a head ache from all the bloat. Going to lay off the salt for a few days.

That PM snack was a bad idea. I just kept eating. SHOOT!!!!!! Tomorrow is another day.

Still running a fever today. I hope I'm better by tomorrow, I have to drive my Auntie back home to Arkansas.
I got on the scale yesterday at the doctors office and thought for sure they were wrong. They read 234 with all my clothes on. I usually weigh first thing in the morning with nothing on. So I hopped on the scale this morning and it was 229. I wish now I had been weighing everyday so I would know how much of this weight loss has come from me being sick. It almost scares me to see those numbers. Will I gain it all back when I start eating again? If so, I don't want to start eating. Mixed feelings. I'm not hungry much at all.

Update: My fever finally broke around noon today. I'm still tired, but I feel much better.
