I was so excited about my Balance Bar giveaway that I forgot to mention that I was in our local Sunday paper!  Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram already know, but Tony contacted our local paper after I won the Share the Pot Crock Pot recipe contest.    That was in early December and he never heard anything back.  Well last week...

Yep, I cut my losses on the 21 sugar detox.  While I definitely took less insulin, my blood sugar numbers were all over the map!  I would have thought they would be low, but even after eating stuffed peppers that had no rice or starchy fillers at all – and even after taking what little insulin I thought I would need for a low carb...

Yesterday I was rehashing my melt down of Thursday night.  And I suddenly came to realize, that I need to step back, take stock of my life, and think about all the good things going on in my life right now. Tony is home!  That is first and foremost.  I think he’s gotten more sleep in the last two days than he has in the...

It was the last day of my quiche and pork chops!  I am actually surprised that I still looked forward to it, even if I did have the same breakfast four days in a row!  I did add some grapefruit that my parents-in-law sent me for Christmas.  So good.  Nothing like Florida citrus! Before I knew it, it was time to hit up the gym. ...

For the last two days, the goal for Tony was to bring his INR number up to a safe level so they would let him leave, and GO HOME!  When I got to the hospital yesterday morning he was sound asleep.  I never know if he’s been asleep for hours or a few minutes.  He woke up 15 minutes after I got there and had...

Okay ladies – I have a tip for you.  At some point, you should learn how stuff around your house works, in the event that your handy husband isn’t here to handle them.  Lori, I am not talking to you – you are the most handy woman I know! Case in point.  Our house was built in 1922.  Our furnace was completely replace over ten...

After being at the hospital with Tony for nearly 12 hours on Friday, he said “take it easy – no rush to get to me tomorrow.”  I would have loved it if I spent the morning being Bizzy in my kitchen, or watching a chick flick that he would never watch.  Nope.  I spent an hour and fifteen minutes snow blowing our driveway.  We don’t...

I had my annual eye exam yesterday morning.  For diabetics, this is just as important as meeting with your endocrinologist regularly.  They have this one test that takes pictures of all your blood vessels.  Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in diabetics.  It happens when you don’t control your blood sugar over time and once the damage is done, you can’t really reverse...

Wow – thank you for all of your generosity in my idea to donate newer DVD’s to the pediatric ward at the hospital Tony’s staying at!  You are smarter cookies than me too – a few of you are buying DVDs off of Amazon.com and shipping them to me, and other sent me money via paypal.  So far it looks like I will be able...

I wasn’t sure what to expect on New Years Eve.  I knew it was going to be a long ass day.  What I didn’t know was that my day job was letting out early at 2:00.  I had to be at the restaurant at 4:30.  If I drove 40 minutes home, I’d only be home like 30 minutes before having to drive another 45 minutes...
