Looking for a new start

things have been crazy lately and I feel like I should have been blogging, but I have been helping everyone else except myself. Mom has not been feeling well, so I have been to the doctor with her 3 times. Steph just took her again this morning for a test and I stayed with the kiddios. I have been setting up at markets selling jewelry and I have a new partner in crime and we have been reorganizing the studio to make it more functional for the 2 of us. I have been a busy girl.

I have however been watching what I eat more closely and went to the co-op and stocked up on healthy foods. Mom's diabetes has been all out of whack so I have been trying to help her with more healthy meals and she had to go on insulin so I have been helping her get used to the shots she has to take right now. Hopefully the pain in her stomach is what is causing a rise in her blood sugar levels and she will be able to get her numbers back down to a more normal area soon, when she gets her pain under control.
The test she took today showed no cancer, now ulcers, and really not much of anything other than inflammation in the esophagus and upper intestine. My hope is that antibiotics and maybe yogurt could help put her back in balance.

My hope for my life is that I get off my ass and start exercising before I am diabetic!

not perfect but a start

Ok, so I didn't start exactly when I said I was going to. I did how ever go to the doctor and have an ultrasound. So now I have to go ahead to start. I can't remember if i posted this or not, but I have had 2 surgeries to remove uterine fibroids and this past weekend I had some swollen lymph nodes, which apparently is probably a symptom of my issue with fibroids. I really wish I had just had a hysterectomy. Oh well... the best thing I can do now is take control of my own health, lose weight and get active!

So I did start eating well yesterday.

Lunch/ blackened chick sand on a ww bun, topped with slaw and tomato, mustard

dinner/ salad with boiled egg, raisins, oil and vinegar dressing
ww thin spag. with turkey meat sauce (Classico) no added sugar

1 1/2 beers

snack/ 1/2 portion of same spaghetti

today/

Breakfast/ boiled egg on slice thin toast (thin white) with spray butter

Snack/ Banana

Will try to post later.
