O how I wish I could have....

Since being diagnosed with Diabetes I have vowed to completely change my lifestyle. Meaning eating completely healthy and starting at getting fit. Anjel bought Wii Active for me for Valentines. Let me just say that Active whooped my butt! I had some serious sore legs. Then it hit me that one of the side effects of the medications that I am taking is leg cramps. Great! Maybe it was a side effect? Maybe it was just my lazy self? Needless to say it was more than I bargained for. I also got a bungee type thingy that is supposed to help those muscles in my arms. For some reason it makes me want to say, "I want to pump you up!"

So, cravings....
Today I walked by my bosses desk and someone had brought her a box of chocolates. So far things haven't bothered me and the cravings for real sugar haven't hit. That is until today. What I would give to have a real piece of chocolate! I came home and had blueberries instead. How depressing is that? Trying to understand the ups and downs of the numbers with the blood sugar is hard enough. We have an appointment with a dietitian and a nurse Monday. Hopefully we will be able to find out more foods that I can eat.

Tonight I am preparing grilled salmon over lemon slices spiced with citrus, herb, and pepper with capers. Served with an Asian stir fry. Soy sauce may have sodium but it is sugar free!

God sure is amazing. So amazing that he sent me the greatest woman in the world!
