It's the last day of May. Where does the time go? I'm looking over all my 'stuff' to get an idea of progress. What strikes me the most is how much better I feel as opposed to April 28, when I started this journey. I'm down over 20 pounds. I've cut my insulin in half or better, even after some adjusting back up. I've stopped the short acting insulin before meals altogether.

I took myself off of my 2nd diuretic. I take a blood pressure med w/ a diruetic. After a couple of weeks, I got brave and stopped taking the additional diuretic. Well, I noticed my ankles starting to swell again. Not good. I jumped the gun a little. lol. So, I got back on that. The swelling's down this morning, and so is the scale, though I didn't record it yet. I'm trying not to weigh every day. I will jump on and see what's going on on my 5 week anniversary on Wednesday.

We may do a cookout later today. I'm thinking chicken and maybe some hamburgers for the boys. They do love hamburgers.

I ventured into OWL yesterday. Once again, poor timing sank my battleship. One son had my car, so I asked the other son to take me to Walmart at 2:30 pm to get a few things I needed for a new recipe I wanted to try...my modification of something I saw on Rachael Ray. (It's delicious, btw, just watch your portions. I call it Tuscan Meatloaf).

Well, we got there, and he decides he needs to get the oil changed in his car. By 4, I was ravenous. I'd eaten a really light lunch and now missed my afternoon snack. I found some of those 100 calorie almond packs...right at 3 net carbs a bag. So I sat in Subway & munched my 1 bag of almonds and drank iced tea until the kid's car was fixed. I was good.

Then, we got home, I got dinner started and we didn't eat until 7, 2 hours after my normal dinner time. I overate the meatloaf. My net carbs for the day...nearly 30. Way too much.

This morning, my stick is barely pink and my blood sugar is over 140, way too high for fasting. <<<sigh>>> I think I am one of those very carb sensitive ladies. I may leave the nuts in, but no more Tuscan meatloaf for me until I'm confident I can watch my portions. Either that, or I leave out the onions or cut the tomatoes.

One thing I did learn: ground flax seed adds only calories. The fiber in it is equal to the carbs, so you can add some healthy ground flax seed to foods without affecting your carbs for the day. It makes an excellent substitute for bread crumbs.

I'm increasing my insulin this morning. It's not a setback, right? It's a lesson.

Happy hump day!

I'm finally having a different breakfast, in honor of the 28th day of my diet. I'm trying to break the bacon habit. I know all those nitrates can't be good for me, but ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, do I love the stuff! I'm only having 2 strips this morning. lol

This is quite the accomplishment for me. A whole month, and not once did I cheat. I overate my RDI a few times, but nothing passed these lips that wasn't allowed on the atkins diet. I'm dipping my toe into the OWL phase by adding some nuts here and ricotta cheese there. Nothing major yet.

I figured out how to keep my nut servings under control. They do have those 100 calorie packets with almonds. I may give those a try if I can find them again.

Memorial Day is coming up and I'm having some sad anniversaries here. My father passed away a year ago on May 7. He would have been 79 on May 30 of this year. I used to always joke that I couldn't forget his birthday coz he was born on Memorial Day. And then, father's day is coming.

I am really blessed in that I have a step father who came into my life when I was 14. We've had our differences over the years, but I do love that man. But I can remember standing in the card isle at Walmart last year, tears rolling down my cheeks, because I only had one dad to buy a father's day card and gift for that year.

Well, forging ahead here. I'm not going to give in to the hollow feelings that often accompany that sadness. I have long been aware that a lot of my eating was to fill a 'hole' directly related to my father, even before his death. And if I do feel extra hungry, I can always munch on sugar free jello, beef bullion and a little extra protein.

Welllllll...I went 107% on my RDI today. However, I'm still within my carbs and my overall for the month is still 95% of my RDI, so I'm not going to sweat it.

I had a 1 1/2 ounce bag of roasted almonds on the road. I had to be out at meal time. My son totaled his car and just got the insurance money to replace it, so naturally, we had to go look at this stupid retired cop car 60 miles from home. It's a big v-8. I put in my 2 cents, but he still bought it. <<<sigh>>> That's a story for another time.

Bottom line is, I knew what I was having for dinner and knew this would put me over for the day. But I had to eat something. Oh, and this is why I pretty much avoid things like nuts. I find it very hard to just have a few. If it's an ounce and a half bag, I have to have the whole bag. If it's a 16 ounce jar, I'm not happy until they're all gone. lol

On the positive side, at least I got almonds. I'm not that wild about almonds. Had it been the 2 oz bag of cashews, those bad boys would be gone, and I'd be over RDI and carbs. So I guess I made a good choice. It just can't happen too often.
