I'm hypoglycemic (sort of the opposite problem as diabetes - my blood sugar tends to drop too quickly) so have really learned to eat a more balanced diet. I try to start my day with some protein (peanut butter spread on a tortilla) and resist any white sugars (donuts, etc) until at least lunch time - sugars mess me up on an empty stomach). Also fish and eggs and cheese seem to be good protein that also regulates my blood sugar while helping me feel full longer. Straight up sugar (candy, etc) is best saved for directly after a meal (which should consist of meat and veggies, etc), and only then in small doses.<br /><br />Anyway, this helps for me, hopefully you can find what works for you!Jennifer M.http://thestylishthirties.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436848276196191990.post-8549013765660690012010-10-15T17:07:49.072-04:002010-10-15T17:07:49.072-04:00Dude, I am really proud of you!

And now that the teens are mostly gone and Doug is rarely home and I am being healthy, there's no reason to cook that much, so I don't torture myself LOL.<br /><br />Sounds like you had a nice evening.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03810827017613969060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436848276196191990.post-15960893700743047312010-10-15T15:43:18.559-04:002010-10-15T15:43:18.559-04:00Yay!

I know it was designed specifically for you but I have known for years that I don't eat enough & it might just give me an idea of what I need to change! I'm so proud of you, SO super happy & a little jealous (in a good, now-I'm-really-motivated way!)! : ) Love you friend!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777009463818920545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436848276196191990.post-30628079133807254272010-10-15T10:14:10.841-04:002010-10-15T10:14:10.841-04:00I sat on my couch, watched Cooking Channel for hou...I sat on my couch, watched Cooking Channel for hours, and instant messaged my sister, my friend Jenni, and a creepy guy from high school all at once.<br />The creeper shot me his cell phone number and tried to get an invite over this weekend.

I like to spread laughing cow cheese or cream cheese on them, or dip them in hummus.<br /><br />You are doing a great job!!<br /><br />I think eating protein with the whole grains does something to stabilize the blood sugar. I read a book called Potatoes not Prozac at one time. It talks a lot about keeping your blood sugar stable. Good book.<br /><br />So what did you do last night?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03810827017613969060noreply@blogger.com
