It feels like a good morning. My first full 24 hours with out a Diet Coke. Yes I know I was suspose to quit but again the stress demon had me but that is why I said stress is my enemy. I am Diet coke free now and I feel better this morning.

My blood sugar is 193 and that is before I eat. I know it will go up slightly but not like before. My eyes are still hurting a little. I dont know if it is the new computer or the diabetes so October I will go for an eye check up. Insurance does not cover eyes so it will be out of pocket.
Another successful day as I fought the carb and food demons. Although I can honestly say that I feel it is getting easier.
I am the care provider for my in laws which is very stressful. My father in law just got out of the hospital. They said it wasnt a stroke but I feel it is because he isnt the same and It is hard to get him going like he was. But they told us to get him back into the groove of things. So I have the undaunting task of being the one to try to do this. Luckily I have been instructed on some of the things we need to do and have had countless hours in doing so as rehab has been to the hours many times in the past and have showed me. It still doesn't take the stress off of me though.

My hubby continues to support me in more ways than one. Which is a complete turn around. He is learning about carb leves. He brought me home some Welch's fruit snacks and proudly prounounce that it had 0% carbs. Being that I read labels religously that just didn't sound right and also knowing that fruit of any kind in induction is not allowed. I looked at the package and had him re-read it and he said 0 carbs I said one more time and then I read it and it had 19 carbs, the zero he saw was the nutrional percentage. He was kind of sad cause he was happy that he had found me something fat free and carb free. The sugar content on this little snack package was outrages and the carb count was 19. But the point was that he is trying. His brain at 51 just doesn't get the carb counting rules. He is trying though and that is such an improvement than before.
Let me introduce you to the little boy I am holding. That is my 5 year old grandson. He is ADHD with viokent tendencies and is also Autistic. He talks like he is in a commercial and introduces people like he is an announcer, It is really cute how he does it and he has a heart of gold. He has a very hard time between reality and fantasy and tries to imitate the things he sees. We are hoping the doctors come up with a plan. The school is awesome in how they are dealing with him and have catered to his needs, though not with out a fight because the head of special ed wanted him to be kept mainstreamed but that was not a realistic Idea of our little man Jordan's needs. He is my sweetheart.
My life is full of stress but I have to take care of me or I won't be here to enjoy it.

This is about me as far as I am concerned.

We are going to the fair on Sunday where temptations are all around. I won't ride much as I don't fit into anything but feris wheel and the twilt awhirl.
