 Breakfast: two scrambled eggs and coffee

Lunch: at the "Chinese", where I had some beef dishes, chicken dishes, chocolate pudding and  Vanilla pudding and "Diet Pepsi"

I think I've gotten terminally tired of the seasoning at "King's  Buffet" and will have to give it a rest for several months. Right now, I would rather go to "Pizza Hut" (and this is not a good thing!).

Snack: about ⅓ to ½ cup of fresh coffee (finished by 5:05 pm and thus, should not screw up my sleep tonight)

Dinner:  Lean Cuisine Pepperoni Pizza and iced water

This entry really started yesterday:

I spent the rest of the night waking up feeling stuffed. I refused to stick my finger down my throat (although I would have felt better) and took a shot of Maalox and later a Tums. The food was excellent but my feeling bad was simply due my stomach. I can't seem to handle fat or handle getting too stuffed.

At 6:03 am, I woke up feelikng fine but had to pee. After that, I felt very hungry but I decided "screw it", I'm not giving into my stomach after what it did to me all night...

Grandma Lil's 114Birthday

Breakfast: From Burger King

• SOS on biscuit
• potatoe disks
• coffee

Lunch: at the new "Mexican" place where "Delmonicos" used to be, I had a variety of Mexican dishes and two glasses of "Diet Coke". It was fine.
   
Dinner: Lean Crusine Three Meat PIzza: pepperoni, italian sausage and seasoned ground beef with reduced fat mozzarellas cheese and cold water.

This would have been my Grandma Lil's 114^th birthday.She was born Lillian Lotte Pepperall, daughter of James Pepperall and Bessie Burge on 13 August 1896 in England. She died on 17 April 1971.  Her cause of death was "coronary thrombosis" and "hypertension" This "hypertension" is something that afflicts our bloodline. I am on two blood pressure medications and a very strong anti-cholesterol medication. I imagine Grandma Lil might have lived longer had she modern medications. However, she handled the dearth of Pop (her husband, my paternal grandfather) very badly and I can't she the Lady as having wanted to live much longer...

After writhing this, I had a strange mental image: I remembered the family getting together in my paternal grandparent's living room, with Grandma Lil sitting by the wall on the other side of the stairs. She said "no, that's not true..."

It was a strange and mystic moment, especially since I'm not much for "speaking with the dead".

10 August 2010

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls Sausage (Eggs, Potatoes, Sausage & Cheddar Cheese) and coffee

Lunch: an office luncheon

cider vinegar

I'm probably grasping at straws but I'll give this a shot. I'll have to
get recipies that use "cider vinegar" though.

"Janet

If you have Type 2 diabetes, cider vinegar is a great glucose stablizer.
Cider vinegar, canola oil and some garlic and onion powder will make
your green salad a pleasure to eat!"

8 August 2010

Lunch: egg salad sandwich and coffee

7 August 2010

Breakfast:  wheaties and coffee

Snack: popcorn (My Father was big into popcorn but I don't know if it helped control his blood sugar. Popcorn is "medium" on the Glycemic Index and this should have helped... )

Lunch: the rest of the left over beef stew and a bag of cheeze crackers and water

Dinner: chicken stripes, rice and broccoli and cold water

6 August 2010

Breakfast:  oatmeal and coffee

Snack: popcorn and coffee

Lunch: at Mary's, on East Trail Street

• double hamburger - two patties of well done charcoal cooked meat,
• home made fries - you could tell these were once potatoes and not the product of an extruder!
• a bottle of Diet Pepsi

The place was crowded and there were not enough waitresses. Still, our orders were taken fairly quickly, the drinks brought to out table before the food order was taken and the food obviously brought to us as soon as it was up. All in all, a good meal (albeit not fancy) with reasonably good service.

I recommend this place.

Snack:  a vanilla ice cramme cone

Dinner: I had a homemade meal:

• a can of tuna fish baked in the oven
• baked potatoes
• boiled broccoli
• cold water to drink

I had hoped my blood sugar would not be too high and it was much higher than I feared it would be (265). I have problems with this.

• perhaps the meter is off and I should use a glucose test solution to check the meter?
• perhaps the ice creamme was kicking me in the ass?
• perhaps the baked potatoe did an anomalous good job and jacking my blood sugar?

Ah, I'm so shafted! The bad karma from bad mouthing my youngest brother about his inability to control his blood sugar is rebounding upon me! I guess I'll be using insulin come late November, if I can bring myself to wait that long!
