It’s been quite a long time since I’ve posted, but I’m hoping to get back in the habit of updating regularly along with weighing myself regularly!  I’ve been doing a good job of logging my food and blood sugars lately, but I’ve been sooo freakin’ busy with the classes I’m taking right now that I’m having difficulty multi-tasking as well as I usually can!  

 On the diabetes front, I’m ready to throw in the proverbial towel.  For the past week I’ve had at least 5 days where I’ve gone low not once, but twice a day, and it they weren’t just little lows (like in the 60s), they were those low lows in the 40s that freak me out.  I can handle a high 50, low 60 low.  Those make me feel itchy, shakey, and irritable.  Lows in the 40 I usually don’t feel right away.  Those lows make my brain feel like mush for the next few hours.  Superb feeling when you’re trying to work on two online classes along with preparing a lesson for high school seniors who pretty much tune out everything that isn’t 100% thrilling (and word:  my English classes aren’t even 2% interesting to them)

On the weight front I’m, well, clueless – haven’t weighed myself in quite a while.  However, I’ve been noticing a lot of positive changes in the way my body looks after spending about a month in a really regular routine of doing The Firm cardio exercise DVDs. Of course, these DVDs may be the culprit that is causing the low blood sugar havoc .  These cardio DVDs incorporate weights and cardio, which I love (and by love, I mean hate with the firey passion of 5 million setting suns but endure because I know its good for me), and they make 40-50 minutes of sweating go by quickly, so I’m game.  Give me season tickets.  I’ll take two.

 The other night I tried a fabulous recipe from Roni  called Mexican Pie.  It’s delicious and my husband – the I’m-only-eating-heatlhy-food-that-doesn’t-taste-healthy guy – LOVED it.  The man ate seconds and then nearly licked his plate. Impressive. 

 Any suggestions on what a girl can do when the scale isn’t budging even though you’re working out hard (and doing varied workouts) and eating right?   I’m beyond frustrated, and I’m annoyed that being frustrated with my weight not budging is starting to feel normal.   GRRRR….
