[aztec53]

I know I am totally late on this late on this ...lolol
but wanted to tell ya'll from what I have found about being "partial" diabetic ... lol carbs are 15 grams each .. and we are allowed 3 -4 carbs for breakfast ... 3 carbs for lunch N supper .. 1 each for 2 snacks a day ... okkkkk ....
sooooooo...
breakfast : 45 - 60
snack : 15
lunch : 45
snack : 15
supper : 45
snack : 15
............................... this is daily ...

all white breads, white potatoes, MILKS, pasta's, anything white flours ... turns to carbs really fast and sugar just as fast ... so the more u can cut out cut back on these will help alottttt ...
everything list carbs N sugars ... they are the same for us diabetics ..
also juices are considered NOT as good for diabetics cause again the carb/sugar content ...
Also becareful the amounts of salt / sodium ur intaking .. cause that tooo will keep the weight on u...
I can onlyyyyyy have 1,000 mg of salt daily .. look at some of the foods an ck those two items out .. u'll b surprised at what ya find .. lolol anywayssssssssssss

CONGRATSSSSSS ON ALL THE LOSSES !!!!!!!!! YEAAAAA !!!!!!!!

[redrooster]

well Judy... I was on vacation up North and didn't weigh in at all the whole time I was up there cause was trying to enjoy myself instead of worrying about the weigh thing, but just to let you know I was very surprised when I returned and weighed in at 220, in fact I thought I would have gained some, but working on the wood for winter and riding horses, and canoeing at the lake I guess I got more of an exercise then I normally do......and the good thing about it all is I have been feeling better everyday... still got 45 lbs to go, but I don't think that will happen by Christmas but I have already dropped down to a size 16W and can even get into some of my old 14 pants and this is all from starting at a size 24W. so currently I'm one happy camper...

[aztec53]

Well, Ladies ... its been almost a WHOLE YEAR since any of us has posted here .... hmmmmmmmmm not good .. lololol
so come on what is the updates ... how is everyone doing what kind of changes have u made in the last year ... what has happened in the last year with the changes hmmmmm

Well I finally weighted myself the other day Wednesday??? and I am now at a weight of 187 .... I haven't actually changed much of anything except that I eat when I want ... I eat what I want ... and 90% of the time there is NO cravings or hunger pains or munchies ..
I have learned when this happens then I am LOW on something .. hmmmm

I have gotten to where I eat sorta the equivilant of a half sandwich about every 3 hours ... but with my Veggies Soup that I either will eat or puree an drink I do keep the majority of the munchies away ... I do have my 3-4 cups of coffee daily ... sometimes with flavored creamers ... but that is maybe 3 cups a week that way ..
I eat : boiled eggs ... fried eggs (lay on paper towel dry off extra oil) ... poached eggs ... Bread : white ...wheat depends on mood .. tortillas : corn or flower .... biscuits : average about 5 a month ... love the grands mainly ... lolol Oatmeal ... or Cream O Wheat ... Cherrios : with 2% Milk or Dry ... Raisin Bran ... Special K ... these are the main ones I eat ... lolol
Lunches are mainly my soup ... sometimes I will have a half sandwich : 1 slice bread ... a couple slices of meat : ham - bologna - hot dogs ... I still eat my chips but very seldom ... prefer the hot chips or have chips an salsa .. lolol
Supper ::: Baked - boiled - fried chicken .. mostly will attempt some kind of stir fry with it .. add bells - broccoli - cauliflour - peas - corn ... Chuck roast .... steak (1 or 2 a month) - Ground chuck : meatloaf - hamburger patties - meatballs - chili (with or without beans : depends on mood)
Drinks : mainly water :: 8 + glasses daily ( I have to have atleast 8 - 8 ozs daily ) 3-4 coffe daily ... about once a month I will have my sodas ::: Dr. Pepper - Cream Soda - RC - Pepsi - are pretty much the main ones when I do have a soda ... about 3 times a year I will bring a 12 of DP home .. but not much cause if I want one then I could drink 1 - 3 that day ... not good .. lololol
Snacks are anythings ::: ... lolol ::: Ice Cream: NO CHOCOLATE ... lolol - Candy (preferably chocolate of some kind: but only the Milk choco .. NO DARK for me .. yuckieeeeeeeeee ....... Chips ... cookies : vanilla - lemon - oreos: (these are the main ones I will buy) ... Crackers .. like most of them .. crackers an cheese yummm .... lolol
I have just started drinking CRYSTAL LITE .. its pretty good .. lolol
I like most Juices : my average intake equals maybe about 8 oz about 7 times a month ... Juices are a weakness of mine and does not go good with Diabeties ... wahhhhhhhhh you'd be surprised at the amount of sugar / carbs in juice ... also sodium ... hmmmmm grrrrrrr ... lolol

anyways that is basically the run down of what I do eat depending on combinations it depends on the amount of carb / sodium intake I do have. but I do mainly have my soup once a day at least .. either alone or pureed an with a half sandwich ...
Sometimes I will bake chicken an then make a chicken spread with it.
but like if all of a sudden I start craving my bananas with chips or french fries .. I am low on potasium???
I do alot of my own cooking cause of the carbs / sugar / salt intake I am allowed ..
I do some cooking that I can then freeze, I reallyyyyyyyyyy love my Food Saver for that ... lololol
But I have found the one thing with me .. my system .. I do not allow it to not have what it wants ... hmmmmm
oh and bell peppers - occasional celery stalks (mainly the celery flakes) onions perfer the yellow ones... garlic love my garlic ... I do try to use mainly fresh onion / garlic .. otherwise I use my powders .. NOT THE GARLIC SALT OR ONION SALT ... POWDERS only ...
I have gotten to where I do eat quiet a bit of the MEATLESS MEATBALLS ... AND THE SPECIAL K LOAF ... (ONLY I add more of my own spices to them cause I do love my spices yummmm) .. lololol
ok I think I am done ... lolololol
but this is what has helped me alot, an if I do my soup it tends to knock out the munchies and cravings which I like a super lot ... lolol
I have gotten to where I am walking more .. getting up off my buttocks more ... an doing dancing with the radio .. or cd's .. lololol
I am grateful that since last year I have gone from 225 lbs to 187 lbs ... I have a LOW metabalism ?? so I have to try to move more !!!
I just recently started doing my own hot wings .. dang those are yummy to meeee .. lololol I use the Cajun spice with extra garlic / onion powder .. put the chicken in a ziplock with the spices shake up reallll good (make sure they are coated well ) an then bake at 350 for like and hour an 15 minutes .. love that .. lolololol and yes I do use Ranch Style Dressing for dipping with them ... lololol

ok enoughhhhhhhhhhh ........ I am making myself hungry here... lolol
C U .... lololol

[aztec53]

oh yes .. I also have water with lemon juice and cayenne pepper in it ... just a few drops of juice and like about 1/16 teaspoon cayenne or less .... lololol its pretty good ... yeppers it is ... lololol
