MY PHYSICAL PROMPTED SOME CHANGES..

I started Blog Oct 24 at 196 lbs, I am now realizing that my body was telling me something,  Since then I have lost 6  lbs when weand had some blood test done.

As it turns out my results were not very good. well an 18 lbs gain inevitably will have an ILL effect. You see I was diabetic before I lost some 40 lbs when I hit 178-175  my diabetes went away and I stopped all medication. An 18 pound gain puts me in a vulnerable state as my blood will show.

HDL cholesterol high!! GOOD
LDL cholesterol- high !! BAD

And my Diabetes has come back, my most unwelcome guest, yes because I can make it go away if i will it so and I will.

BAD BAD BAD, I knew my body was telling me something. I don't get a rested sleep, sluggish, tired during the day.. Having lost the 6 lbs has improved my sleep and energy A BIT.!! but still nothing compared to how I felt at 175.

The results of my physical prompted me to make changes and adjustments to my diet in my efforts to eliminate 12 more lbs off me body. That should bring me down to an average weight  suited to my  height and frame. I need to do this in a month's time to improve my health  and energy. My Doctor has suggested lots of fiber and protein- lean like chicken and fish. Wild. Farm  Farm raised fish is still a very controversial topic and lab test have shown to contain dioxins that can cause cancer later on in life.

From here on I shall share with thee, my new overhauled menu and diet plan. Hi fiber - low fat-  hi protein, , This will be a challenge but it will happen Till the next meal..

10/31/2001 HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARE!!!!

Oh, don;t even ask me about last night, make that 3 bust days. Halloween is a very "FRIGHTFUL NIGHT"  for me. I was doing so well after a 2 day lapse but when I realized that I didn't even one candy to hand out to the "trick or treaters" in the house,  (another tip: Keep your household free of food , snacks, sweets  that are BAD for you), I stopped by the super and of course I picked out my favorites, 1st bad decision, Reese's cupcakes, kit-kat and crunch  well, we do that all the time  most of the time unconsciously even gift giving, right?  As they are tolerable calorie wise 180 for 3 pcs of the small ones, but as one addicted to sugar would agree to or know so well, one equals 9 at times even more until you feel sick.

So after a rather hectic day and was actually doing so well at almost 700 + - at 5 pm  , with a fruit Peach fruit - approx 80 cal for breakfast, ham egg and Swiss cheese on toasted buttered wheat bread, restaurant , approx 550-650 calories. for lunch , I thought I was home safe UNTIL I opened ONE Nestle crunch!!! Next thing I knew I  was on the sofa asleep form all the sugar. so bad.....

As it turns out, after calculating and inputting on my livestrong app, I was right on track at 2162 cal a day..

What is regrettable is the SUGAR!!!
 FYI, before you attack those tiny little devilish pcs  of sweetness ( see how they can confuse you and your brain perception during that split second decision making GIVE THEM AWAY or just simply rid of them give them to charitable institutions, something. here are the caloric values of these little rascals:
