Good Morning y'all! Can I join in? Have been a lurker for a while now and have enjoyed reading your posts. I live in Robeson County between Fayetteville and the SC line. Born & bred in NC. Have a husband of 32 years, 2 elderly dachs & 2 cats (rescued).
Had to retire early from my profession due to some health problems in 2000, and found I was diabetic in January this year. Started on a diabetic diet then + meds, but after several months of that, my BS was not as low as it should have been in spite of losing 50 pounds, so I put myself on a low carb diet, somewhere between Atkins & Sugar Busters. My weight loss stopped at that point, but my BS is way down...yipee! I see my provider next week and will see what she wants me to do...lose more weight or keep my BS down...lol. I have been heavy all my life, so skinny would be a lifestyle I would have to adjust to. Right now I am concentrating on keeping my blood sugar down.
For breakfast this morning I had...2 slices bacon, 2 eggs, 1 WW tortilla & 2 cups of coffee with equal. The tortilla is 19 gr. carbs, but doesn't bother my BS too much.
For lunch, will probably be a dish of "Seafood Salad" that I get from Wallyworld. A container of that is $1.98 and I get approx. 4-5 servings out of it. 1/2 cup serving is 7 carbs.
Well y'all have a great day!
Linda
