Lunch: At Boot Hill, a roast beef and cdheese samwhich, chips and ice tea.
Dinner: At Montana Mike's:
Pre-Bed Snack: Pink! Well, Pepto Bismol...
Lunch: An orange, a container of strawberry yogurt and at home, a chicken breast from Dillins plus a can of DP. About a ¼ to ¾ of an hour later, I was definitely feeling hunger so I had a package of "Little Debbies" powder sugar donuts and a cup of coffee. That set me to rights (as the Brits say).
Dinner: Boiled chicken with boiled broccoli florets and some white rice (about a ¼ of a cup unboiled) and (of course) a can of DP.
Snack A gin-n-tonic in a coffee cup and a peanut butter and low sugar grape jelly samwhich on a single slice of sour dough bread.
Breakfast: Hungry-Man Boneless Pork (Rib Shaped Patties in Barbecue Sauce with Mashed Potatoes, Corn & a Brownie) and a can of DP.
It tasted good but was somewhat more than I am currently used to eatting at one settint! So, tomorrow I plan on bringing oatmeal. This will be a lessor amount of food and might be better for me cholesterol-wise (however, pork is said to be low in cholestrerol and my cholesterol remains "good". I just wish I could say the same thing about my A1C...)
Dinner:
Pre-Bed Snack:
Snack: Some hamberger left over from last night...
Lunch: At Perkins in Great Bend Kansas:
About an hour after eatting, I had quite the case of trots. It occurred to me that drinking restraunt "Diet Pepsi" or "Diet Coke" was doing this to me. It could be that each (esp. Diet Coke) contain chemicals that act as a laxative upon me...
Dinner: From Long Dong John Silvers:
I didn't drink a lot of this "Diet Coke" since it was too close to me bedtime...
Snack: A gin-n-tonic, which oddly enough, I didn't want after the first couple of sips. I finished it but now think I should have palmed it off on Kathie just as she pawned off her "French Fries" onto me...
Snack: One of those cheese crackers and a can of DP.
Lunch: Wendy's for a
This was our last visit to Wendy's for the forseeable future. They stopped serving the specific class of samwhichs (Frenia?) that Kathie liked and so she told me "we're not coming back!" That means we aren't going to:
- Wendy's for the aforementioned reason
- Arby's since they got rid of the drink Kathie liked and they have those God Awful excuses for "French Fries" (my reason for not going)
- The "Rat" (i.e. Kentucky Fried Chicken) since
- They are too damn expensive and
- I've gotten raw chicken there twice in the past 9 years!
Snack: At the movie theatre: nachoes with two cheese "trays" and a medium "Diet Pepsi"
Dinner: About a half pound of well cooked hamberger, a small potatoe and water.
My blood sugar reading two hours later was one of the lowest it has been in years yet I ended up peeing twice during the night. A low number suggests either my meter is going bad or I had low blood sugar (maybe the snack and the half hour on the treadmill helped?) The peeing twice suggests that my diabetes wasn't under control last evening.
Lunch: At Boot Hill, a large cup of potatoe soup, several saltine crackers, a bag of chips and a ½ pint of water.
Snack: Peanut butter on slice of sour dough bread and a gin-n-tonic.
Dinner: Big chunk of hamburger (96/04 meat to fat), covered with yogurt and baked in the over, big helping of rice (they didn't have barley at the 14TH Dillions and a beer (MGD). I thought this wouod upset my stomach later but it didn't. I was hungry and ate ½ of the hamberger; I didn't feel so hungry after I started the rest and an hour later, I wishsed that I hadn't eatten all the hamberger. Ah, well...
Lunch: At Boot Hill, a turkey roll, chips and water.
Snack: Peanut butter on slice of sour dough bread and a DP.
Dinner: We visited the Lions Club at Burdette Kansas. They provided a "meal" of:crap veggies,There were only two pizzas, a pizza with something like black berries on it and the aforementioned sugar coated stuff. All together, there wasn't much food for the size of the group and the choice of meat pizza contaminated with veggies was a particularily aggreviating one!
Snack: A peanut butter and honey samwhich made on a slice of sour dough bread and a gin-n-tonic to wash it down...
Lunch: Two sloppy joe samwhiches at Boot Hill Muesum (the second on one slice of hamerger bun), a bag of potatoe chips and water.
Snack: After I got home, I had peanut butter and honey on a slice of sour dough bread, a can of DP and a cup of coffee. This was a bit excessive and I regreted the coffee...
Dinner: Healthy Choice™ Grilled White Meat Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce (With Linguini Pasta & Broccoli Florets) and a can of DP.
Snack: I am feeling very hungry so I decided to have my last South Beach Diet™ Breakfast Wraps All American and some water. The alternatives were
Lunch: At Kathie's work place: a small container of yogurt with strawberries, two small oranges and a slice of sour dough bread with Tillamook Cheddar Cheese on it. This samwhich was grilled and I cooked and ate it at home...
Dinner: Healthy Choice® cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Breast & Scrimp With Rice & Vebgetables In Cajun Style Sauce) and a can of DP.
Snack: Six small Oreo cookies...never have bad snacks handy if you suspect you'll be hungry after eatting a "good" meal...
Lunch:We stopped at Arby's for a meatball sub, chips and a largish "Diet Pepsi"...
Dinner: From A&W, a burger, fries and a glass of Diet Root Beer (which I didn't finish...)
Lunch: Mexican buffett with tacoes (2), enchaleta, red rice, hamberger and chunked steak and water...
Dinner: salad, three small pieces of pork roast, small amount of potatoe and a hugh amount of string beans (which I didn't touch), three rolls with butter and water. Desert was cheese cake with an overly sweet strawberry topping. Good though...
I had forgotten to bring my evening pills so I took them with a piece of dark choclate. This "food" was supposed to stave off the diaherria that comes with taking my 1000mg of Metformin sans food but that didn't work this time...
Lunch: Various items at Pizza Hut:
Snack: We hit the bar at the Topeka Ramada and I had a bottle of MGD and a gin-n-tonic...
Dinner: At the Topeka Ramada for the 2008 Lion Mid-Winter Rally:
I was horrified by my blood sugar reading of 250! It just did not make sense that it would or even could be that high!
Lunch:At Casey's Cowtown (in Dodge City):
Dinner: Cheap steak (I ate maybe 70% and Kathie perhaps a ¼ of hers), broccoli and a baked potate with sour creamme and margarine. I drank a "real beer" (MGD) with dinner.
Lunch: We went to the "Long Branch", the place that was so shitty! Kathie talked with the owner (since she wants him to do the meals for her Lions Convention) and he appologized for the crappy service we had the last time we were there. He had fired the bad chef.
That was a start...
Anyway, I had a steak samwhich, fries and 2 glasses of "Diet Pepsi" (or so they said it was...)
The service was quite good, the food good and I think I can recommend the place...
Dinner: Hamberger boiled with wine and Worchester sauce, rice and some cabbage. Plus, a glass of water; I have to check my blood sugar tonight...
Pre-Bed Snack:
Lunch: Low fat yogurt mixed with strawberries, two little orages and some water.
Dinner: We went to the Pawnee Rock Lions Club (where Kathie gave a speech). They had
Pre-Bed Snack: Two hard boiled eggs plus a gin-n-tonic. A strange combination I know but I'd forgotten to take my metformin to the meal and therefore had taken it around 9:40 PM. Any way, the next morning, my immediate after waking blood sugar was 100! This was about 4:40 am. I walked from about 6:20 am to 6:50 am and tested the blood again shortly after 7 am. I wanted to see if the sugar level had gone done but it had actually gone up to 108!
Wierd shit, this blood sugar...
I got hit with Diarrhea less than an hour after breakfast and then again, about 1½ hours after breakfast, while shopping at Dillions (fortunately, past experience has taught me where their "Men's Room" is...) I don't know if it was the bacon (very greasy) or if something is going around...
Lunch: Hamberger, tomatoe soup with oyster crackers, a couple of pieces of very dark choclate and a can of DP.
Snack: A piece of sour dough bread with peanut butter and a can of DP. I wasn't all that hungry but thought I would be by the time I went to work. After eatting this, I regreted doing so...
Dinner: Healthy Choice® Cafe Steamers™ Cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Breast & Scrimp With Rice & Vegetables In Cajun Style Sauce), an apple and a can of DP.
Lunch:A small container of strawberry yogurt, a chicken breast and two small oranges.
Snack: a piece of choclate
Dinner: Boston Market® (Home Style Meals) Two Beef Steak Paties in Gravy with Marcaroni & Cheese plus a can of DP.

What I've had so often I'm heartily sick of?
Lunch: Three "pieces" of chicken, cooked in the George Forman grill and some potatoe chips and a can or two of DP.
Snack: Some choclate and a can of DP.
Dinner: Two little containers of low fat yogurt mixed with strawberries and two large apples and a can of DP.
Snack: A small piece of choclate.
Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown: "French Dip" samwhich, fries and two glasses of "Diet Pepsi".
We were there for the Lions Board of Directors meeting and got put in an out of the way room. "Our" Waitress said "we're short one person and we may not be able to serve you very quickly". They sure did honor this promise!After all seven of us arrived, we started waiting for the waitress to show up. Finally, I looked out the door, saw the owner (Mike Casey) and yelled: "Hey! Mike! We're ready to order." Then, I went back into the meeting room and the meeting got started. When it looked like we were in danger of finishing the meeting without getting to order lunch and were talking of "where are you going for lunch?", "our" waitress showed up.
Her first question was "are you all on the same ticket?"
"No!" I will admit I was a bit grumpy, even surly, when I answered this. Hunger tends to make me bitchy.
She was disappointed as that meant no group tip and she couldn't get away with slow service still getting a tip...
Well, slow service would have been due to other groups of impatient folks. We might not have had enough bodies to be worth worrying about?
Snack: They had an office luncheon so I had some of the left over ice creamme at work...
Dinner: Healthy Choice® Cafe Steamers™ Cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Breat & Scrimp With Rice & Vegetables In Cajun Style Sauce) and a can of D.P.
Snack: The rest of the bag of cheeze-its left over from last night.
Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown:
Snack: A piece of dark choclate...
Dinner: Healthy Choice® Cafe Steamers™ and a can of DP.
Snack: Some cheese crackers; I didn't eat them all.
Lunch: At the same hotel, buffett for
Dinner: A Burger King Angus burger, fries and a largish "Diet Pepsi"...
Pre-Bed Snack:
Lunch: Homemade beef stew and a can of D.P.
Dinner: Dinner at a "bar" co=located with the Perkins in Great Bend, Kansas. It was garlic mashed potatoes, four slices of deep fried chicken strips, a very small container of brown gravy and a roll with butter. I drank horrible tasting "Diet Coke" with out ice (and that meant just a small amount of ice...)
Pre-Bed Snack:
Lunch: At Olice Garden, their salad, speghettie with three meat balls and two glasses of "Diet Coke".
Dinner: I made
and a glass of water...
Pre-Bed Snack: Two gin-n-tonics...
Lunch: We went to Popeyes and I had:
Snack at the Movie: Popcorn and some kind of "Sam Adams" Amber-ish beer.
Dinner: At "Old Chicago" in Wichita:
When did they have to replace Michelob Lager with that God-Awful "Michelog Ultra"? When did Americahns lose their taste for real beer???
Pre-Bed Snack: Two gin-n-tonics...
Breakfast#2: They were having the farewell breakfast for a co-worker and I expected them to have glazed donuts (something I can resist...). Well, they had the donuts there but also freshly made pancakes and sausage cooked the night before and warmed up this morning. So, I had a couple of pancakes and several sausages and a cup or two of coffee and some "no sugar added" (I hope!) orange juice...
Lunch: "Apple Pie" flavoured yogurt and two little oranges (brandname "Little Cuties") and a can of D.P.
Desert: After I went home, I had a slice of the choclate cake Kathie bought on the 1st. It was quite good...
Dinner: Marie Callender's® Fettuccini with Chicken & Broccoli (Chicken Breast in Creamy, Alfredo Sauce) and a can of D.P. This meal was way too damn salty!
We're talking 1180mg Sodium or 49% my daily allowance.
Like I don't get any other salt during the day???
The meal tasted too creamy when I was eatting it and it was only after I was nearly done that I noticed the salty taste. So, now I sit here thinking I should drink some more water - a lot
more water! - and try to flush the salt through me. I'm being treated
for high blood pressure as well as the type 2 diabetes and I purely do not need this salt! Now, to add to the fun, I'm feeling nausiated.
Well, it was my own damn fault as I didn't feel like eatting the South BeachTM Diet food or the Lean Cuisine or the "Steamers". It was "stoopid" (to quote a Little Abner character) and I will be eatting some kind of "Steamer"
meal tomorrow nigth. Tentatively, breakfast will be oatmeal and lunch a
repeat of today: "Lite" yogurt mixed with fruit (Strawberry?) and a
couple of "Little Cuties" (easy to peel little oranges...)
