Caution, I'm rambling: We didn't eat "breakfast" until nearly 4:00 pm. Neither of us were hungry until then. So I feel stuffed like a big old Thanksgiving turkey 🦃 now and lazy. But I still need to go pick up my bone meds prescription and some wild bird seed. Not so stupid wild squirrel keeps getting bird feeders. I have a bone scan scheduled for next month. My doctor told me if it comes out better this time (been two yrs since last scan) she will take me off that stuff. Said I had plenty of calcuim in my blood, it just wasn't getting into my left femor. Those little, once a week, pills better have helped. Been taking them for two years now. Hope everyone's having a good week, if not, at least tomorrow's Friday so take heart, the weekend's on its way.

Losing 0.6 kg a Week

Anyone know how many colored bars there are and the color sequence percentages or whatever? I use Fat Secret on my cell phone but have heard there're more options/features if you use a computer. My computer is a desktop, not exactly convenient to use in the kitchen or when eating out.

steady weight
27 August 2018
My husband has been home from the hospital/nursing home now for about two weeks. He's doing better but still has both, having both good and bad days. Trying to keep him active with the exercises they taught us and being sure his meds are taken on time. He assured me he could handle them on his own but after he tried and failed I finally decided to put reminder alarms on both our cell phones. Don't know why I didn't think of this before. He still starts having the tremors and more balance troubles a few hours before meds are due so we may have to talk to the doctors about closer or higher doses. Been trying to get the exercises done about mid dose time since that's when he's the steadiest. He finally laid down for a nap this afternoon. I'm really tired today myself but still have housework to catch up on and my craft room needs straightening out, looks like a hurricane blew through there. I need to try to find him a smaller walker too. The current one is just too large for our house. When we retired to Florida 20 years ago we downsized to a modular home, smaller doorways and tighter spaces don't work well for a person who really needs the steadiness a walker gives compared to a cane. I saw one being used by a lady the other day that was 3 wheels and more maneuverable looking than the wide 4-wheelers. Time to go Googling for one like that.
I have been doing well with my WOE this week but been more exhausted than usual. Hope I'm not getting sick. I guess the stress and all that running back and forth to the hospitals/nursing home took more out of me that I thought.
Good news is that my stepson will be home from Afghanistan and he and the family will be coming down to visit in a about a month and a half and we are really looking forward to that. Family is really important and it's tough when they are so far away. I've been emailing him overseas with updates on his dad but trying not to worry him too much, a few details with a little sugarcoating to keep him focused on his job over there until he gets home.
I've added an extra Google Home device and Wemo plugs to several of the light fixtures so my husband doesn't have to turn on lights manually. Also more night lights and flashlights so he can see better after dark and only has to ask Hey Google to turn on the lights for him. People with Parkinson's disease often has odd sleep schedules and trouble sleeping at night. Getting up at night and walking with balance problems has caused him to fall multiple times. This is why I installed the Google Home and WEMO lamps. All you have to do is tell it to turn on the lamps. Nightlights help but being able to turn on the lights before entering a room is better even if you don't have disorientation at night.
I wish everyone a happy, healthy time this week and keep up the good eating habits, no matter which plan and WOE you have choose for yourself.

Losing 1.8 kg a Week
24 August 2018
I was just thinking about how we see a food and it triggers that, "I gotta eat it now!" response even though we were nit even thinking of food a minute before. I remembered something I heard years ago from a lady in a weight watchers group. She said when she has that craving response she tells herself this... that (fill in the blank food) is not going to fall off the face of the earth. It will be available to eat, tomorrow, next week, and even next month. What's the hurry? Slow down!

I got really great news at the doctor's office this morning. My A1C is now down to 5.2 I high fived my husband as we went out the door. That's the lowest it's been in years. Doc officially lowered my insulin doses and gave me strict rules to not let my blood sugars go too low at night. If lower than 90 at bedtime I must eat a small snack. He's preaching to the choir there. I always save 100 calories or so because I sometimes bottom out in the middle of the night and the shaking wakes me up because I'm too low. I've still got about 40 lbs more to lose and looking forward to being able to cut back on even more insulin. He says to do it all (diet and insulin cuts) slowly. The body needs time to adjust.
