Good Monday morning everyone - what an amazing day. It is beautiful out sunny and it is expected to be mid 80s by this afternoon. Today is alive day 181 - what a journey this has been. I am so grateful to just be here. I spent yesterday at a picnic with some friends that I haven't seen in a while. I have discovered that I have learned a lot in the last 6 months and I have also uncovered that I have so much more to learn. I am in this for the long haul - so I am going to do everything I can to get out and enjoy life. I know my boundaries (mostly) and I understand that my pancreas is not going to help out very much. I have been able to eat really well and I haven't had a high BGL number for about 4 months now. My lesson learned is that using a scale is critical for me - having an accurate scale is also important. I just learned this weekend that my scale is off by a half ounce. I discovered this by having the grocery store weigh a package of ground pork and then I checked it on my scale at home. I am also suspecting that the "diabetes supplement" I started taking is causing constipation (I know - not polite table talk. but it matters) so I am going to go back off to see if this corrects. Our individual bio-machines are just so amazing with how they process fuel and how it impacts us. I want to say thanks to everyone here for your insight and encouragement as it is my class room. I am enjoying my coffee and I am going to get back to work. I wish you all the best on your life adventure today.
