One week to home

One week from tomorrow we will be on our way to Seattle! Assuming all is still well and they let me travel. I've been doing pretty well with the new diet. It's now been nearly two weeks of doing it. I do miss chocolate and being home and wanting to make sweets will be tough but things have been pretty good so far. I'm thinking we'll have to make some stuff with Splenda or I'll just eat things in moderation - which is really what I've been doing all along, I've just been avoiding sweets most of the time.

Monday I go in to see Dr. Bryson again and hopefully everything will still be good!

New diet

Ok so I've now been on my new diet since Friday. Toshi is being a good sport and agreeing to eat the things that I'm making - mostly from diabetic living - and so far so good. Thankfully he's also keeping less things in the house that I shouldn't be eating, like croissants and OJ from Costco that we usually have. So far my levels have been good - out of 15 or so I've only had 3 high ones and at least one of those I know the cause of (too much white rice!) and I know how to fix it.

Although I'm doing pretty well with the whole thing the hard part is going to be being home and not being able to eat sweets - or doing so knowing I shouldn't be. I know that I need to figure out how to exchange normal foods that I eat everyday for things that I'll want to eat like cookies, pull-aparts, fudge and all other manner of yummy things that are around at holiday time.

Anyway, so far so good!
