Happy Thanksgiving!

[Guest guest]

I'm off to a last minute stop at the grocery store (I'm sure it will

be packed..but I'm a huge procrastinator). Having dinner at the

in-laws, which will be tricky, since they are probably the most

unhealthy people I know :-) My MIL won't go near any fruit, and they

won't eat most types of vegetables.

So I'm making a few really small dishes for my hubby and I to eat that

aren't completely carb-y, and we'll just have to watch the portions.

It's been a good week...my job layoff was postponed out to February,

and my dream job with the state opened up (not that I'm optomistic

about getting it, but at least there's an opening!), and we got the

news that hubby's insulin pump will be in on Monday! He's really

excited, especially since we hit our deductible for insurance with his

last hosiptal stay so the pump is covered 100%!

He hates the constant needles sticks so much, so he's can't wait until

next week.

I feel guilty a lot that I'm the closet eater who weighs 308 pounds

and I don't have diabetes (though I'm sure I'm headed there if I don't

stop this), and he is in his normal weight range and eats pretty well,

yet he has to deal with this disease.

In the last week I've gone down about a pound or two, but the good

thing is I've unhooked myself from caffeine. It's all water and the

occasional diet root beer or green/white tea.

Now I've got to get back to the regular exercise routine....

Have a great day ladies!
