How strange; I would expect a diet designed for a diabetic to have fewer starches than normal, not more.
You could always ask them to substitute grilled chicken.
SOS...I am sinking the boat!!!

Hi Karebare! Good job on the loss. You are too funny! You didn't cut off that much hair, did you?
Sorry to hear about the allergy mystery! Wow! Lips numb? That sounded like it could have gotten out of hand. Good thinking taking a quick shower.
I hope you have a great week! Love your name and avatar, too cute!

Din Din
Salmon on the george foreman grill
salad (i made a little homemade dressing with some spicy sweet mustard and rice vinegar....it was so so..)
and broccoli with butter buds
i am having a drink of diet tonic and a splash of vodka with a twist of lime....my little wooooo hooooo for the weekend.......since i have sworn off the wine, my brother told me that he when he wanted a drink when he was on south beach this is what he had.
so i did okay for the day. i mean the wendy's thing sucked but really it wasnt that bad since i didnt eat the croutons or dressing....
i think if i get through my first weekend i will be kick ass.

okay...here is the day in review
raisin bran and 1% milk
lunch: salmon (leftover from last night) and some brocolli
dinnnnndinnn: low carb tortilla with salad and some turkey, a little spicy mustard and barely a touch of italian dressing just for the flavor..oh and a few pepperocini.
i probably will eat again before 8....some cottage cheese and peaches or something to carry me through the night.
actually diet rootbeer sounds good. diet root beer and pretzels....
i may have to run out and get some. if i get some sugar free vanilla i could have a rootbeer float.
coached today (figure skating)..skated a little...when you are coaching you have a tendancy to stand around more than anything....then i went shopping for stuff for my friends baby shower...i got this cute little bear that i am going to put "skates" on...little figure blades....

so i wanted to eat one last meal for the day and i had some lettuce/greens/veggies cut up so i made a nice big salad and added a few sliced pepperocini's for some zip and some lite caesar dressing..just a tad because the pepperocini juice mixed with the dressing was good...
then i took a low carb/high fiber tortilla 6" and put it in a pan with some non stick spray..after it heated a little i put about 2 tbsp of garlic/artichoke salsa and about 1 tbsp of velveeta cheese. just enough for taste...folded it in two like a quesadilla...it was very tasty..
now i think i deserve big high fives for not eating the macaroni and cheese my hubby made for dinna...yes he made the ReAL friggin thing...creamy creamy cheese with noodles..i just put some aluminum foil on it and put that bad boy in the fridge................i was proud of him though...there are only 3 of us at home now (i have a dtr that passed away in 2007) and he made only a 8 x 8 pan instead of 9 x 11 pan.....of mac and cheese. My dtr comes home from college on the weekend and its been hard for he and I to get in the groove of only cooking for two.....so i was proud of him

well the applause didnt last long for my choice to not eat the mac and cheese...i got blindsided by a couple of breadsticks at about 10:30 last night..I was watching tv...and went into the kitchen (my first mistake)...opened the breaddrawer (2nd mistake) and there before my eyes were the most lovely looking breadsticks...long and hard (oh gawd, breadstick porn)...and i took one out and put it in my mouth and bit down and crunchy crunchy goodness...oh my...went and sat back down and i couldnt control myself....i ate like 3 of them...................
i am a little afraid of the scale today.......................
and i am hoping i can be good at the baby shower...i am hoping there are good choices for me. I am going to have a huge cup of beef broth before i go to fill me up...
and NO CAKE (argh, i love cake)...if I were farther along in my journey I would have a small slice....but i gotta stay true right now...

ended up having about 1/2 cup of raisin bran and some 1% milk at about 9 am.
i was hungry so i just had 1/4 cup cottage cheese and took a low carb tortilla and toasted it, then cut it into wedges and had some hommus with it. now hopefully when i go to this shower i will be able to make good choices. i will check in when i get back...

about the baby shower..um yah.....
i did pretty good
i ordered chicken caesar salad with my dressing on the side...when it came i put 2 spoonfuls of dressing on the salad and mixed it up. I did eat 3 croutons..but NOT the big side of bread that was served. I also said no to the cupcake....
but when i got home i had brought a little bag of nuts/m&m's for the hubby..actually i brought 2....watching football I ended up eating a bag. it was almonds/peanuts/cashews with maybe 5 m&m's in the bag...I looked up 1/2 cup of cashews 390 cals, 1/2 almods 410....so i am thinking it was about 400 cals...
but it was satisfying/filling...probably the cupcake would have been less cals, and less satisfying...
oh well ce la vi...and i still think i did very well.

Hey! Just popping in and reading what you are up to!!!
Concerning your diet, you may be on the right track with your starch plan, but you have ALOT of carbs. Try having more protein in your diet. Protein fills you up and doesn't mess up your blood sugar and so you won't get that hunger pang as much as you would on a carb heavy diet. An example would be substituting yogurt and TONS of fruit instead of cereal.
Just an idea! Keep up the hard work!

Hi Buckeye...actually thats not the diet I am following, just one my dad gave me that I started or thought I would follow...
thanks for the tip..I did think it was alotta starch too....
I am very hungry right now. after i had the 1/2 cup of nuts, I went to my mom and dads, my dad had made this hamburgerry type mixture for beef burritos...my dad is always whipping stuff up. i had a spoonful of that and 1/2 tortilla...and a diet soda.........why I am so hungry I dont know, I feel like I ate enough today....
Lost in fantasy football...my team put up almost 99 points....which is actually very good in our league, but the team I played put up 109 points and still has a person to play tomorrow. I am out of player. We have defensive players too, and I usually do pretty good choosing those, but I didnt do very well this week. I have Kurt Warner but he was on a bye so I picked up Matt Shaub...he did pretty good for me and holy crap my steven jackson kicked ass..like 27 points or something....
anyway...i was climbing up the ladder, but this loss drops me down....

Hi DYK, I just posted an "evil fried snickers bar" on your conversation page and visited your journal..you sound stressed....the evil snickers bar was to make you laugh......laughing burns cals i think...
I was 181 on the scale today...I am finding that as I go down I fluxuate 1 or 2 pounds....I am going to do my ticker once a week...so Saturday I will "remake it"...
I havent really exercised this week except for some skating. I can go today at 1:20, and my dtr has fall break from University of Toledo so she can go with me and give me a lesson....I should walk to the rink too (about a 15 minute walk)
Not much to say about the food ...I had my normal raisin bran today..I love it.
On a bad note..my husband fell down the stairs in the middle of the night...what a scary thing to be awaken by a 300 pound man falling down the stairs.....then, he gets up and goes to the bathroom and asks me to get him a glass of water, when I go in the kitchen I hear him fall again. He passed out and on the way down he took out a shelf with all my pictures and with this antique clock. He is lucky he didnt hit his head. He laid in the hallway for awhile and then crawled up on the couch. he called in today and said he feels like he is going to pass out when he stands up. I think he may have broken something or hurt somthing bad but hey wont let me take him to the urgent care. Men sure are stubborn sometimes. I told him that if something happens where he passes out and cant move, I will have to call the paramedics because there is no way i can move him. Its like I am worried but I have to act like I am not.........its not natural for someone to pass out like that....I will check on him again in a minute...
I am hoping my eating right gets him on track...yes I am overweight but he is terribly obese and I worry about losing him. I lost my 19 year old dtr to a drunk driving accident in april 2007....its just me and my hubby and my now 18 year old (she was 17 when her sister died), and I remember thinking "its just 3 of us now"..if something happens where I lose him it will just be 2 of us. I guess I should express this fear to him....but a person's weight is such a personal thing..............
We have been through alot in the last year and 1/2, and so has my dtr.....
