Well it's early in the morning and already the day is in crisis mode. Hubby woke up this morning with blood sugars at 25.9 and a screaming headache. Beginning to think that it is going to be one of those weeks where not too much goes right. Can only hope and pray that all this does not affect my food too much. Actually, in spite of everything I am quite looking forward to getting back on track today. Enough of this pity party nonsense, time to suck it up and take affirmative action.
Well finally got hubby's sugars down to 6.8 and he is feeling much better. It's been a very busy day. Went to Costco to order my new glasses. Couldn't believe it, they were half the price that the fancy places wanted and better quality to my way of thinking. Stocked up on some necessities and fruit. Came back into town and stopped at Canadian Tire to check out a bread maker for the future daughter in law for Christmas. Finished picking up groceries at Save-on. Hurried home and unpacked them, had lunch and then off to a Victorian Epicure paty. First time I have seen this product and was rather impressed, ordered some to use as Christmas gifts.
As the Epicure party was dip and seasonings had a few tastes but nothing to amount to a whole lot. Keep the food on track today and feeling much better.

Tessa, After reading your entire blog, I have a couple of suggestions. I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice, just a few things to think about as a fellow struggler with weight. Why not adopt a strict diabetic diet for both you and your husband. You'll be killing 2 birds with 1 stone! He'll follow his eating plan, and you will definitely lose weight! It's a win-win situation! Nobody wins if he ends up with diabetic complications (blindness, foot problems, and worse) and if you don't get your own ducks in a row (heavier.) Take a diabetic food plan from his doctor and let that make the decisions for you and stick to it. Be prepared. Decide that you don't want to be fat anymore and nothing's going to stop you. Decide that you want to help your husband stick to his plan. You don't even have to tell him, just make that food for your meals and that's it. I know this is a lot harder than it sounds, but once you make the decision to really change your life, it's going to be the same song every day, no matter what you do. I know you can do it, Tessa! Say yes to health!!!
