Carbs and Sugars

 


So my Two for 2022 for the 74th day of 2022 are two things that I am missing very much.  Carbs and Sugars.  Having been recently diagnosed with diabetes, I have tried to (with pretty good success) cut out most carbs and sugars from my diet.  I have not had ice cream in 2.5 weeks.... (admission, I did have sugar free water ice from Cabana's today - meh) and bread, a frequent staple of my diet, has been seldom seen on my plate.  It's the Ides of March, 3/15/2022, and I need to have more Caesar Salads (get it?) and keep up this work.  According to my BGM (blood glucose monitor), I was 43% in the suggested zone today (count of 70 - 180).  That is NOWHERE where I need to be, but FAR better than 377 and 0% in the zone that I was 2-3 weeks ago.  Just have to keep reminding myself it is a marathon not a sprint and remind myself that, once under control, I might get to splurge every once and while with a nice buttered bagel or a small bowl of Breyer's..... for now, I head to bed, missing carbs and sugars, but determined to get this under control.

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
