What a day. Blood sugar was ok this morning. Didn't need any insulin. But I ate Cheerios (and too many at that) and was rewarded with BS of 300 before lunch. shocked Lunch was thin, low carb, soup - chicken broth and leftover turkey. Kind of like prison camp rations. LOL - I just tossed out a good bit of a rotisserie chicken, so had to raid the turkey I froze after Thanksgiving. The liquid diet is good today because my gastro symptoms are acting up, too. And I was proud of myself for starving/eating low carb yesterday. Ugh.:(

It's my fault - I've been on the PC or in front of the TV way too much. But it's below freezing, and I'm broke, so going into town is iffy. And I'll eat out or eat junk at a movie most likely if I go there. Costs a lot more to go to the mall, where I can at least walk indoors - but it's the mall! At Christmas!!!! And I'm broke. Did I mention that? I would benefit from cleaning house from end to end (it needs it!).

And there's a huge, unheated storage room full of crap to go through still (was going to do that as part of the move that never happened). I like to call it the cold storage room. The only heat in huge front room is a wood stove I only fire up once or twice a year, and usually only to try to sort through all that junk - it's only defeated me for three years!

Not getting on the roof to check on leak any time soon either. Below freezing for foreseeable forecast. Maybe I'll bundle up and go for a walk anyway. Maybe it'll motivate me to do some physical work. Not what I would like to do with my last vacation days of the year. Never managed to get to CT to visit my college friend. Maybe next year. I feel like a hamster in a cage - that's been neglected - I meant the cleaning, but the hamster could use some love, too. LOL. I just don't feel like going around on my wheel (exercise gear).

All the things I can think to do are work, chores, etc. Even on the PC - I need to finish an online course - on debt/finances. Blerg. And I need to follow up on some resources they gave me after my stress reduction class. I miss the class and being forced to get out once a week. And there's no end to the organizing/sorting/filing of all my digital crap - pictures, music, movies. Been working on some video ripping that's taken scads of time. I like to do this stuff, but too much of it (being on computer - for work and hobbies) is literally killing me. cry

I haven't gone into a fit of depression, though. I just have trouble getting moving in the winter. I want to be like a squirrel or bear and hibernate. And the health problem is just what I have to deal with. My problem is I love food like... well, second only to the other thing guys think about all the time! Except the food is much easier to get!!!!! whistle cool smirk

I have to treat it like an addiction as much as a diet. frown
